Water Tank Site (off Tassajara Road in Dublin) for such purposes. The company's representatives have stated that antennae in those locations will better serve its customers in Pleasanton and the Tri-Valley area. City staff from the Public Works Utilities Division met with the company's representatives at the sites to understand what was being proposed and City staff has determined the proposed location at the sites will not interfere in any respect with the City's operation of the tank sites. Other City staff then met with the company to negotiate the terms of a proposed lease. Those terms are discussed below. DISCUSSION The rent at each site will be $2000 per month, with a 3% increase annually. There is an initial term of five years with four five year options; the total term of the lease could be 25 years. The company will be leasing only a small area of each site: about 600 square feet of the Moller Ranch tank site and 250 square feet of the Tassajara tank site. The company shall have the right to construct on the property improvements necessary to operate its communication system, shall have the right to remove the improvements at the end of the lease, and shall have access to the site in order to maintain its facilities. The company shall not, however, use the property in any way that interferes with the City's use of the property and the City may terminate the lease if the company's use of the property unreasonably interferes with the City's use, although that is not expected to occur. Zoning Approvals Locating cellular antennae within the City of Pleasanton is subject to the City's zoning ordinance in terms of distance from certain uses, such as residential areas. The City of Dublin has a similar ordinance. The location of these antennae appear to be within the regulations of Pleasanton and Dublin. Nevertheless, the company has been advised that Pleasanton retains its full discretionary land use authority over the planning application for the antenna within Pleasanton and the Council's approval of this lease is a process separate from the land use decision. FISCAL IMPACT Over a 25 year stretch, each lease will generate $875,020. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff concludes that the location of these antennae on these two sites will have no impact on the delivery of water to City customers and will provide a significant revenue stream over the next 25 years. Accordingly, staff recommends that the Council authorize the City Manager to sign the necessarv documents to lease a portion of these two sites to Omnipoint Communications. SR:6: 173 Page 2
