A. Goals 1) Ensure that properly regulated, adequate, efficient and dependable public and private utility services will be available to users. The proposed use is designed to comply with the Federal Communication Commission's guidelines. Its location was chosen to provide improved, and dependable cellular coverage to customers within the surrounding area. This is consistent with the aforementioned Public Utilities Goal. 2) Maximize efficiency and economy in the provision of public utility services. The proposed use will allow the applicant to efficiently and economically address customers' coverage needs. This is consistent with the aforementioned Public Utilities Goal. 3) Design public utility facilities to fit into their surroundings or concealed from public view. To mitigate visual impact, the proposed use is intentionally placed further away from Paniolo Avenue, and utilizes a palm tree tower design. This is consistent with the aforementioned Public Utilities Goal. B. Policies 1) Public utility facilities shall be designed to complement adjacent land uses and shall be operated to minimize pollution or disturbance. Except during the construction of the proposed Verizon site, virtually no traffic is generated by the operation of the antenna site, as it is a low-maintenance facility that is not continuously staffed. Except for maintenance and repair, the site is self-operating. There are no long- term traffic disturbances or pollution resulting from the proposed use, which remains consistent with the above Public Utilities Policy. 2) Provide utilities and service facilities that minimize total cost to the public and effectively service the needs of the community. Customers both living and traveling through the community will benefit from improved coverage the proposed use will provide. This is consistent with this Public Utilities Policy. 19
