George Granger, 2150 Webster Street, Room 1030, Oakland, supported the adoption of the proposed Ordinance as recommended by staff. He complimented staff and others who worked on the Ordinance. He expressed that Pacific Bell supports the concept in giving the zoning administrator the flexibility to determine on a case by case basis the number of antennas to be placed at a certain location. He said Pacific Bell had a meeting with the City regarding the Kottinger site. Pacific Bell is gathering additional information and will meet again with the City in a few weeks. He said he will keep the Council informed about the progress. Ms. Ayala appreciated being informed about the progress and expediting the removal. John Newman, 703 Market Street, legal counsel for Pacific Bell, supported the adoption of the Ordinance as recommended by staff. The suggestions regarding co-location makes sense in terms of discretion for the staff and also good planning for the City. He thanIced Council for the opportunity to speak. Steve Cote, 4295 Barbara Court, agreed with Mr. den Broeder. Joan Tenbrink, 4265 Mirador Drive, was concerned with the new faces here this evening that were never at any of the committee meetings. She was offended that these people feel that they can attack the Ordinance. The committee was given the direction to consider Pacific Bell's suggestions. She supported staffs recommendations because that is what the committee agreed upon. She spoke about senior care facilities being residences and did not want them addressed as commercial property. She did not want to see all that equipment around the senior housing facilities. She said there was nobody on the committee that addressed themselves as senior citizens, but she felt senior care facilities should be represented as residences. She would like to see 1000' buffer but agreed to the 300' buffer. She did not support having more than three antennas at one location. She asked Council to support the Ordinance as presented by staff. There being no further public testimony, the public hearing was closed. Ms. Dennis understood the ordinance may not be perfect, but felt it was important to honor the work that the committee did. The consensus of the committee is to go with staff recommendations. She found no evidence to support the health issues. She supported staff's recommendation and congratulated everyone who worked on it. MS. Ayala asked the City Attorney if this ordinance was in compliance with federal law. Mr. Roush said the ordinance is in compliance. It was moved by Ms. Dennis, and seconded by Ms. Ayaia, that Ordinance No. 1743 be reintroduced, to be read by title only and waiving further reading thereof, amenfllng the Pleasanton Municipal Code to add a new Chapter 18.110 regarding personal wireless service facilities.
