DISCUSSION:
This project was continued from the April 5, 2018 Planning Commission meeting at the request of Complete Wireless Consulting, Inc. on behalf of Verizon Wireless to the meeting of May 17, 2018 (Attachment A). As noted in the request for continuance letter, the design of the project was found to have a visual impact on the scenic corridor along I-680. The applicant has since proposed a re-design of the project. Application materials for this new design was received by the Planning Services Division on May 8, 2018.
Also since the April 5th hearing date, the applicant and the County have agreed to a tolling agreement which extends the FCC shot clock to July 6, 2018 (Attachment B). It is anticipated the project will be returning to the Planning Commission on June 21, 2018, after the 30-day public review period of the CEQA document is completed.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is requesting that the Planning Commission continue this item, U-17-09 & MD-17-02 Verizon, until the Planning Commission meeting of June 21, 2018.
