Public Hearing to consider the application of Ms. Heidi Appe, on behalf of Advanced Radio Telecom Corp., for approval of a Site and Architectural Review Permit and a Conditional Use Permit to allow the installation of four antennas inside an existing penthouse on the roof of the Pruneyard Tower II on property located at 1999 South Bascom Avenue in a C-2-O (General Commercial / Overlay District) Zoning District. STAFF RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission take the following action: Adopt a Resolution, incorporating the attached findings, approving a Conditional Use Permit and a Site and Architectural Review Permit to allow the installation of four Internet Protocol Service Provider antennas, subject to the attached conditions of approval. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION This project is categorically exempt under environmental action is required. Section 15301 Class 1 (a) of CEQA; therefore, no PROJECT DATA Net Lot Area: Building Coverage: Landscape Coverage: Paving Coverage: Parking Provided: Parking required for this project: 27.2 acres 37% 15% 48% 2,186 None DISCUSSION Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit and a Site and Architectural Review Permit to allow the installation of four (4) high-speed wireless broadband Internet Protocol Service Provider (IPSP) antennas within an existing building mechanical penthouse on top of an existing ten-story office building (Pruneyard Tower II) located at 1999 S. Bascom Staff Report - Planning Com,nission Meeting of October 10, 2000 PLN2000-93 (S) and PLN2000-131 (UP) 1999 South Bascom Avenue Page 2 of 3 Avenue. Four small sections of the existing penthouse metal siding will be removed and replaced with a "radio frequency friendly" fiberglass panel painted to match the existing penthouse siding. Background: The subject property, the Pruneyard, is located at Campbell and Bascom Avenues. The property is currently developed with three office buildings and a retail/hotel complex. The Pruneyard Tower II is a ten-story office building of approximately 117,476 square-feet that was built in 1974. The subject building currently hosts a Cellular One telecommunications facility consisting of eight cellular panels arrayed in four locations or sectors. ANALYSIS General Plan Designation: The General Plan land use designation for the project site is Commercial. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan land use designation. Zoning Designation: The zoning designation for the project site is C-2-O (General Commercial - Overlay). Commercial sites are preferred locations for telecommunications facilities. Although the proposed facility is a "stealth" facility that will not be visible from the exterior, the Wireless Telecommunications Facilities Ordinance requires service providers located on a co-location site to obtain a Conditional Use Permit in addition to the Site and Architectural Review Permit in order to monitor and avoid adverse impacts from potential over concentration at co-location sites. Subject to approval of both permit applications, the proposal is consistent with the zoning designation. Business: The business providing the IPSP service is Advanced Radio Telecomm Corp. (ART). ART would provide high-speed broadband communication services to the office tenants of the Pruneyard Tower II only. Businesses providing similar services include Teligent and Winstar. ART provides fiber-like intemet service without the need for trenching and installing terrestrial fiber optic lines. Antenna Design and Placement: The ART antennas measure 15 inches tall, 15 inches wide and 12 inches deep. The antennas are proposed to be mounted on existing structural beams located inside the existing rooftop penthouse. Four sections of the penthouse walls adjacent to each antenna and measuring four (4) feet wide and two (2) feet high will be removed and replaced with corrugated "radio frequency friendly" fiberglass panels that will be painted brown to match the penthouse. The antennas would be located entirely within the penthouse and would not be visible from the exterior. The proposed mounting technique is preferred under the Wireless Telecommunications Facilities Ordinance. The antennas will "point" with a direct line-of-sight to other buildings nearby that have antennas mounted on them. The proposed antennas will communicate with two sites, located at 3031 Tisch Way and 10 Almaden Boulevard in San Jose. An equipment cabinet measuring 42 inches tall by 27 inches wide and 15 inches deep would be installed inside the penthouse. In addition, a battery backup cabinet measuring approximately 30 inches tall by 15 inches wide by 10 inches deep would also be located inside the penthouse. Staff Report - Planning Connnission Meeting of October 10, 2000 PLN2000-93 (S) and PLN2000-131 (UP) 1999 South Bascom Avenue Page 3 of 3 Parking: The installation of the wireless Intemet Protocol Service Provider (IPSP) antennas at this location would not have an impact on the necessary parking required for the site, and no additional parking is required for the project. Compatibility: Based on the cun'ent proposal, staff finds that the antennas are architecturally compatible with the existing penthouse structure and finds that the use is compatible with the existing use and the surrounding area. Site and Architectural Review Committee: The Site and Architectural Review Committee reviewed this application at its meeting of September 26, 2000. The one Commissioner present was supportive of the proposed project as presented. Attachments: 1. Findings for approval of the Site and Architectural Review Permit and Use Permit 2.

Attachment # 4 Development Application for Advanced Radio Telecom Corp. (ART) 1999 South Bascom Avenue Campbell, CA 95008 Proposal The enclosed application is for placement of four (4) antennas on the roof of the building located at 1999 South Bascom Avenue. The antennas as well as equipment are part of the ART network and an accessory use to the building by providing high-speed broadband communication services to the office tenants of the building. The antennas as well as the equipment cabinet are to be mounted inside the existing penthouse. Site Plans Please see site plans attached. Overview of Advanced Radio Telecom and its IP Network The ART wireless Network Advanced Radio Telecom Corp. [NASDAQ: ARTT], headquartered in Bellevue, Wash., is the first wireless broadband Internet Protocol Service Provider (IPSP), enabling carriers to extend high-speed backbone performance and data center applications seamlessly to their office building customers at speeds up to 155 Mbps. ART's IP metro networks provide multi-megabit IP service to commercial office tenants. ART currently owns and operates broadband wireless metropolitan area networks in Houston, Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Jose, San Diego, Seattle, San Diego and Washington, D.C. and plans to initiate service in a total of 40 U.S. markets during the next two years. ART is a Cisco Powered Network(TM) service provider. ART has a nationwide footprint of 38 and 39GHz spectrum licenses in the United States. ART's wireless system offers fiber-like service, in terms of quality and reliability, without the disruption or expense of trenching and installing terrestrial fiber. Customer Profile Within the existing ILEC and CLEC copper-based infrastructure, commercial building tenants are running out of bandwidth at a rapid pace; severely limiting their ability to compete in the new and powerful Internet economy. ART provides service in commercial buildings with tenants needing multi-megabit bandwidth exceeding T-1 capacity. ART's technology allows tenants to choose the bandwidth and services specific to their business needs. Additionally, service upgrades and both quick and easy. Zoning Narrative The following is a description 'of the proposed application. Antennas- The proposal is for four (4) antennas, measuring 15" wide x 15" deep x 12" deep. One cabinet houses the equipment, the cabinet measuring 42" tall x 27" wide x 15" deep. One battery backup cabinet measures approximately 30" x 15" x 10". Location- The antennas are to be rooftop mounted on existing structural beams inside the penthouse. Two sections of penthouse walls, adjacent to each antenna and measuring approximately 4' wide and 2' high, are to be replaced with fiberglass and painted to match existing building. The equipment cabinet is to be housed next to the return air duct located inside the penthouse, just inside the north wall. 3. Height- The antennas will not exceed the maximum height of the existing building. 4. Radio Frequency- ART operates at both the 38 and 39 Gigahertz frequencies. FCC Compliance- The FCC has granted ART exclusive license to their frequency at both 38 and 39 Gigahertz. Hammett & Edison report on FCC guideline compliance to follow. Maintenance- The system is monitored by way of a remote location at ART's network management Center 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Routine maintenance visits are made once or twice monthly. Environmental Assessment- There are no activities, which produce airborne emissions, odor, vibrations, heat, glare or toxic chemicals. The ART site has no impact on surrounding properties. 8. Noise Information- The ART antennas and equipment produce no noise. Site Selection Process- ART selects sites for its network based on two key factors: (1) tenant demand for high-speed data communications, and (2) line of sight to other buildings within the ART network. The building at 1999 S. Bascom meets these criteria. ART's intent for installing its facilities at the 1999 South Bascom was to connect the building to ART's broadband network to provide data communication services to the tenants of this building and for no other purpose. The selection of another, alternative site would not be applicable because ART cannot serve the tenants of 1999 S. Bascom from another location. Cumulative Effects 1. Antenna and equipment 'location- Antenna location- Antennas (15" x 15" x 12") are to be mounted inside the penthouse at the northeast and southeast corners. A square section of the penthouse wall, adjacent to each antenna, will be replaced with fiberglass and painted to match. The existing Cellular One wireless communications site is located on the north, east and south walls of the penthouse. Equipment location- Equipment cabinet will be located inside penthouse near the return air duct, inside the north wall and west of the roof access door. 2. Height- Proposed and existing antennas will not exceed maximum height of building. Antennas- The four (4) antennas each measure 15 inches wide, 15 inches tall and 12 inches deep. The equipment cabinet measures 42 inches tall, 25 inches wide and 15 inches deep. The existing Cellular One communications site consists of standard panel antennas. 4. Power Rating- awaiting information from WFI. 5. Ambient Radio Frequency- awaiting information from WFI. 6. Total Wafts- total wattage for both antennas will never exceed .5 wafts. Facilities within 100 feet- 1999 South Bascom has an existing Cellular One cellular communications site on the rooftop. Hammett & Edison report to follow. Geographic Service Area/Line of Sight Antenna Network · Map of antenna sites within network- Please see attached map. The antennas mounted at 1999 South Bascom will communicate with two sites, located at 3031 Tisch and 10 Almaden in San Jose, CA. 2. Distance between antenna sites-awaiting information from WFI. 3. Necessity of site to antenna network- The 1999 S. Bascom site serves two purposes for ART. First, the building houses commercial office tenants who have been underserved by the incumbent phone company and other competitive local exchange carriers (CLEC's). These tenants have attempted to obtain increased bandwidth from these groups at cost-effective rates. 'Fo date, these needs have remained unfulfilled. Presently, the only solutions for office customers are unreliable DSL; bandwidth limited T-l, or costly fiber. ART's products and services fill the bandwidth gap these other services are unable to fill as represented by the diagram below. 1 ..5 Mbps I Gbps I 100 Mbps m 10 Gbps m I I I I 25% 50% 75% 100% Percentage of Businesses Served Second, ART's network is developed in a ring topology, similar to a SONET ring. The 1999 S. Bascom site completes our current ring in this geographic area. Without the 1999 S. Bascom site, ART's network will not meet its quality of service and reliability guidelines. w'rs Facilities Not applicable. Preferred Location Sites Location preference- The proposed ART facility meets Locational Preference A, Industrial or Commercial sites. In addition, as stated in Section C, the facility will not be visible from adjacent roadways. Antenna Siting and Mounting Preference- Siting and mounting preference- The proposed ART facility meets siting and mounting preference C, roof mounted antennas that are not visible to the public. The antennas will be completely hidden from view. Five-year Plan Map- Because ART build out is based primarily on customer demand, future sites are not at this time proposed. ART is considering four possible additional sites in Campbell, including 2542 Bascom Avenue, 1875 South Bascom Avenue and Water Tower Plaza I. Please see map of existing network for detail on existing sites. 2. Type of technology- ART is a licensed point-to-point microwave, broadband fixed wireless operator, using both 38 and 39 Ghz frequencies primarily. 3. Radio frequencies- ART operates at 38 and 39 Ghz. Services- ART's broadband technology can currently be used for high-speed Internet connection, data transmission, video conferencing, and virtual private networking. 5. All facilities- There are no other existing ART antenna locations within the City of Campbell. For proposed facilities, see Section 1 under Five-Year Plan. List of Information- At present, there are no other existing ART antenna locations within the City of Campbell. Any future proposed sites would be zoned Commercial and would utilize antenna configuration either similar to 1999 South Bascom or employ an alternate stealth platform that would meet the City's requirement for such. Elevations Elevations- Please see attached proposed site plans for elevations from street. 2. Other Elevations- Please see attached proposed site plans for other elevations. Related support and protection-antennas are to be mounted on existing structural beams inside penthouse. The portions of the penthouse wall are to be replaced with fiberglass and painted to match the existing building. Conduits running between antennas and equipment are to be painted to match existing building. Equipment cabinet is housed internally. Visibility Impacts 1. Visual impact- The proposed ART facility will not be visible from surrounding properties. Stealthing- In compliance with stealthing requirements, the proposed antennas will be located inside penthouse walls, where visual impact is eliminated from all major traffic corridors. Landscape Plan As ART will not be installing any ground-based equipment, this requirement does not apply. Materials and Colors Any visible equipment related to the proposed project, such as conduits, will be painted to match existing building.

Bascom Dear Darcy, This is m response to your letter of July 27 regarding the above permit application. We want to apologize for an unapproved antenna installation. We thank you for the time you spent in review of our application. To leave the right impression, ART's antennas on the rooftop are not carrying any customer traffic, and, m fact, they not even operating. They were installed only to test integration with the ART network. Also, ART will only be installing 2 antennas, rather than the 4 shown in the plans. The plans will be revised to reflect this change. I would really like to work with you to rectify this situation. We're committed to complying with the permitting process for the City of Campbell. If I could, I'd like to set up a meeting with you at your earliest convenience. I will contact you soon to find a time that's convenient. Thank you again for your time.

Bascom Avenue Dear Ms. Appe, The Planning Division has reviewed your Site and Architectural Review Permit application for Advanced Radio Telecom (ART) antennas to be mounted on the penthouse of one of the Pruneyard Towers. A site visit has revealed that two of the four proposed antennas shown on the plans have already been installed. It appears that these antennas were mounted closer to the comers of the penthouse than shown on the plans that were submitted for approval. In addition, the antennas are painted white and do not match the penthouse as shown on the plans. Based on this visit and a detailed analysis of the application submittal, staff has determined that the proposed antenna facility does not meet the requirements for a stealth facility under the City's Telecommunications Ordinance and a Conditional Use Permit will be required in addition to the Site and Architectural Review Permit. These permits must be approved by the Planning Commission at a public hearing. Staff has significant concerns regarding the proposed placement of the antennas since they are visible to the public, especially fi.om adjacent roadways and Highway 17, a major traffic corridor. In addition, it has been determined that there are other telecommunication antennas already mounted on the penthouse, making it a co-location site. Although co-location of various companies' facilities may be desirable, a maximum number of antennas and back-up facilities per property is established, on a case-by-case basis, such that the cumulative effect of numerous facilities and support structures do not create visual blight by concentrating too many facilities upon one site, area or neighborhood. Since at least two other carriers have antennas mounted on the penthouse that you are proposing to locate on, staff will review you proposal and may determine that the proposed antepmas result in too high a concentration of sites and visual blight at this location. 70 North First Street · Campbell, California 95008. 1423 · TEL 408.866.2140 - F^X 408.866.8381 - TDD 408.866.2790 Heidi Appe Whalen and Company, Inc. Application for Antenna Facility at 1999 S. Bascom Avenue Page 2 of 6 July 27, 2000 It is recommended that you revise your plans for the antennas so that they are not visible to the public, especially from adjacent roadways and Highway 17. Section 21.60.140 (5) of the Telecommunications Ordinance clearly states that "All roof-mounted equipment shall be located in an area of the roof where the visual impact is minimized". Staff recommends that the antennas be moved closer in to the center wall of the penthouse rather than near the comers so that the antennas are less visible. If for some reason you are unable to relocate the antennas, a supplementary report outlining the reasons why the antennas cannot be relocated must be submitted. An independent review, paid for in advance by the applicant, must be completed to evaluate the applicant's supplementary report. If the independent review determines that the antennas can be located in a different location and still provide the intended service, the antennas will be required to be relocated. The Site and Architectural Review Permit application No. PLN2000-93 has been deemed incomplete by the Planning Division. Additional information is required to be submitted to complete your application.

Whalen & Company is representing Advanced Radio Telecom(ART) in the City of Campbell. As follow up to our phone call June 22, you had requested brief information on ART and the proposed IP Service Provider antenna and equipment. The antennas proposed are broadband, accessory-use antennas serving only tenants of the respective building. Two 15-inch antennas are mounted on the rooftop, with two small equipment cabinets inside the telco room. Unlike cell sites, the antennas have no coverage objective and do not broadcast. The antennas send only a straight microwave shot to the next antenna. Enclosed please find further information on equipment set up. In regard to environmental issues, ART has little environmental impact. ART antennas do not require lighting and make no noise. Because the antennas send only a direct signal to the next antenna, they need not be line-of-site to the street. Thus they can be set back well off the side of the building, difficult to see from the street at any distance. In addition, the ART antennas will be mounted on the side of the existing parapet, and painted to match the building. Feel free to contact me at (925) 381-5171 for any additional information. Thank you for your time in reviewing our application. Sincerely, Heidi Appe Whalen & Company (925) 381-5171 ART · ~ ,eposed Metro Base Station (Site _.o. 62059) 1999 South Bascom Avenue * Campbell, California Statement of Hammett & Edison, Inc., Consulting Engineers The firm of Hammett & Edison, Inc., Consulting Engineers, has been retained on behalf of Advanced Radio Telecom, a wireless telecommunications carrier, to evaluate the proposed metro service base station facilities to be located at 1999 South Bascom Avenue in Campbell, California (Site No. 62059), for compliance with appropriate guidelines limiting human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields. Prevailing Exposure Standards The U.S. Congress has required of the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") that it evaluate its actions for possible significant impact on the environment. In Docket 93-62, effective October 15, 1997, the FCC adopted the human exposure limits for field strength and power density recommended in Report No. 86, "Biological Effects and Exposure Criteria for Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields," published in 1986 by the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements ("NCRP"). A summary of the exposure limits contained in NCRP-86 is shown in Figure 1. Separate limits apply for occupational and public exposure conditions, with the latter limits generally five times more restrictive. The more recent American National Standards Institute ("ANSI") Standard C95.1-1992, "Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz," includes nearly identical exposure limits. The most restrictive thresholds for exposures of unlimited duration to radio frequency ("RF") energy for several personal wireless services are as follows: Personal Wireless Service Metro Network Personal Communication Cellular Telephone [most restrictive frequency range] Operating Frequency Occupational Limit Public Limit 38,000 MHz 5.0 mW/cm2 1.0 mW/cra2 1,900 5.0 1.0 870 2.9 0.58 30-300 1.0 0.20 General Facility Requirements Because of the short wavelength of the frequencies assigned for personal wireless services, the antennas require line-of-sight paths for their signals to propagate. Antennas for base station use are designed to concentrate their energy toward the horizon, with very little energy wasted toward the sky or the ground. Along with the low power of such facilities, this means that it is generally not possible for exposure conditions to approach the limits without being physically very near the antennas. HE HAMMETT & EDISON, INC. 000910-62059 CONSULTING ENGINEERS SAN FRANCISCO Page 1 of 3 ART * ~ .oposed Metro Base Station (Site..o. 62059) 1999 South Bascom Avenue · Campbell, California Computer Modeling Method The FCC has provided direction for determining compliance in the Office of Engineering and Technology Bulletin No. 65, "Evaluating Compliance with FCC-Specified Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation," dated August 1997. The attached Figure 2 describes the ground level calculation methodology in detail and the computerized techniques for modeling particular sites. This method of evaluating expected exposure conditions is accepted by the FCC, and its conservative nature has been verified by numerous field tests. Site and Facility Description Based upon information provided by ART, including drawings prepared by On Design Architects, dated August 22, 2000, it is proposed to mount up to four Triton Model HPLP-1 panel antennas at the four corners of the penthouse atop the 9-story office building located at 1999 South Bascom Avenue in Campbell, California. The antennas would be mounted behind new fiberglass panels set into the penthouse wall, two initially, with orientations of about 62°T and 341°T, and two in the future, at orientations of about 90°T and 180°T. The effective antenna heights would be 14 feet above the roof and over 100 feet above ground. The maximum effective radiated power from the ART installation in any direction would be 2.4 watts. There is reported to be a CellularOne base station already installed at the site. Study Results The maximum ambient RF level anywhere at ground level due to the proposed ART operation is calculated to be less than 0.0001 mW/cm2, which is less than 0.01% of the applicable public exposure limit (i.e., over 10,000 times below the FCC limit). It should be noted that this result includes several "worst-case" assumptions and therefore is expected to overstate actual power density levels. No Recommended Mitigation Measures Due to their mounting locations, the antennas will not be accessible to the general public and so no mitigation measures are necessary to comply with the FCC public exposure guidelines. It is presumed that ART will take adequate steps to ensure that its workers or contractors comply with occupational exposure guidelines whenever work is required near the antennas themselves. Since the antennas are to be set at least 6 inches behind the screens, all fields in areas accessible by other workers will be below the FCC limit, and so no special mitigation measures are necessary to comply with the FCC occupational exposure guidelines. HAMMETT & EDISON, INC. 000910-62059 CONSULTING ENGINEERS SAN FRANCISCO Page 2 of 3 ART * ~.oposed Metro Base Station (Site .o. 62059) 1999 South Bascom Avenue * Campbell, California Due to several factors, including the low power of the ART operation, the directivity of the antennas, and the distance separating the ART antennas from those installed by CellularOne, the cumulative RF power density levels are not significantly affected by the addition of the ART operation at the site. No additional mitigation measures are necessary beyond those that may already be applicable to the CellularOne operation. Conclusion Based on the information and analysis above, it is the undersigned's professional opinion that the base station facilities proposed by ART at 1999 South Bascom Avenue in Campbell, California, will comply with the prevailing standards for limiting public exposure to radio frequency energy and, therefore, do not for this reason cause a significant impact on the environment. The highest calculated level in publicly accessible areas is much less than the prevailing standards allow for exposures of unlimited duration.

CONSULTING ENGINEERS SAN FRANCISCO NCRP-86 Standard Figure 1 RI-,~.GROUNDTM Calculation Metho,..ology Determination by Computer of Compliance with Human Exposure Limitations The U.S. Congress has required of the FCC that it evaluate its actions for possible significant impact on the environment. In Docket 79-144, the FCC adopted the radio frequency protection guide of the American National Standards Institute Standard C95.1-1982, "Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 300 kHz to 100 GHz." Exposures are to be averaged over a six-minute period. In 1992, ANSI published a revised standard, C95.1-1992, which defined "controlled" and "uncontrolled" environments, setting for the latter limits generally five times more restrictive. The C95.1-1992 controlled (i.e., occupational) limits are approximately the same as in C95.1-1982. In Docket 93-62, the FCC adopted the exposure limits for field strength and power density recommended in Report No. 86, "Biological Effects and Exposure Criteria for Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields," published in 1986 by the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements. This standard is very similar to C95.1-1992, and the effective date for applying it to all FCC licensees was October 15, 1997. The FCC Office of Engineering and Technology Bulletin No. 65 (August 1997) gives the formula for calculating power density from an individual radiation source: power density S = 2.56 x 1.64 x 100 x RFF2 x [VERP + AERP] in mW/cm2, 4~rD2 , where VERP = AERP = RFF = D= 0.4 x total peak visual ERP (all polarizations), in kilowatts for NTSC, average power (all polarizations), in kilowatts for DTV, total aural ERP (all polarizations), in kilowatts, relative field factor at the direction to the actual point of calculation, and distance from the center of radiation to the point of calculation, in meters. The factor of 2.56 accounts for the increase in power density due to ground reflection, assuming a reflection coefficient of 1.6 (1.6 x 1.6 = 2.56). The factor of 1.64 is the gain of a half-wave dipole relative to an isotropic radiator. The factor of 0.4 converts NTSC peak visual ERP to an average RMS value; for FM, cellular, and PCS stations, of course, the value of VERP is zero. The factor of 100 in the numerator converts to the desired units of power density. This formula has been built into a computer program by Hammett & Edison that calculates, at each location on an arbitrary rectangular grid, the total expected power density from any number of individual radiation sources. The program also allows for the description of the actual terrain at the site to obtain more accurate projections. HE HAMMETr & EDISON, INC.
