guidelines on the first page of this document.) 3. CONSENT CALENDAR A. Approval of Minutes – November 15, 2010 4. PUBLIC HEARINGS A. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 10-07 -Clearwire has submitted
a Conditional Use Permit application to construct a wireless telecommunications facility at the Rosemead Community Recreation Center, located at 3936 Muscatel Avenue in the O-S (Open
Space) zone. The proposed facility consists of six 4’-0” tall panel antennas and six 26” diameter parabolic microwave dishes mounted on three sectors at a height of 55’-0” on a new 60’-0”
tall cell tower designed to simulate a pine tree. The project also includes the installation of one new ground-mounted equipment cabinet, totaling 144 square feet, which will be constructed
at the southeast corner of the existing Rosemead Community Recreation Center building. On November 15, 2010, the Planning Commission continued this public hearing item to the December
6, 2010 Planning Commission meeting due to resident concern regarding possible health risks that could be caused by the proposed facility and the possibility of Clearwire achieving the
same service coverage objectives at alternative sites within the neighborhood vicinity that are less intrusive. The Commission directed Clearwire to provide service coverage reports
for a potential co-location at an existing monopole located at 8780 East Valley Boulevard and a new facility location at 3520 Ivar Avenue for the purpose of analyzing service coverage
comparisons. Staff Recommendation -The Planning Division would like to request that the Commission continue this public hearing item to a date uncertain. The continuance will allow the
Planning Division to complete their analysis of the coverage reports that have been submitted for review, as well research information on Antenna RF Emission Safety from the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). 5. MATTERS FROM THE CHAIRMAN & COMMISSIONERS 6. MATTERS FROM STAFF A. 8855 Valley Boulevard (Universal Bank) – Revised Building Paint Colors B. Zoning
