'. , PROPOSAC: .
, �� The applicant -is requesting approvai. of. a Conditional Use Permit to modify an existing
•. nonconforming wireless telecommunication facility. The project consists of relocating
, existing radio equipment from. the building roof to-inside the building on the sixth floor
and increasing the number of radios serving,the site. ,
, BACKGROUND:
- The, subject property is located at 3737 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, on the north '
side3 of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard between Carson Drive and Benweil Drive.in the
H-M-D (Hospital-Medical-Dental),zone.
' The subject parcel is an irregular 5haped lot that totals 43,060 square feet in area and is
,. developed with a six-story medical office building (Centurywood) and a two-story pa�king
. � structure.
, On May 12, 1993 the City of Lynwood approved installation of the existing facility by
issuing a building permit that allowed the construction oi a 12 antenna, three sector
fasade mounted facility with radio equipment on the roof. "
The facility is classified as nonconforming as the Lynwood Municipal Code currently
- requires a Conditional Use Permit forwireless telecommunication facilities.
ANALYSIS & DISCUSSION
_ Wireless telecommunication facilities are permitted in commercial and manufacturing -
zones subject to a conditional use permit and development standards set for in Lynwood
� Municipal Code Section 25-16.4. •

Nextel proposes to modify the existing facility in order to allow for an increase in the
• number of radios serving the site in response to high demand for service. The project
consists-of relocating existing radio equipment from the building roof to inside the building
: , on the 6"' floor. The tenant improvement area total 484 square feet. Existing screened
, roof mounted antennas would remain at their current locations. The radio equiprnent
shelter would remain behind the building's mechanical equipment screen wall.
No exterior alterations are proposed. The current facility is well screened and relocating
equipment inside the building would not alter the structure. Attached for Planning
- Commission consideration is a detailed description of the project capabilities and specifics.
Lynwood Municipal Code Section 25-25J sets forth four (4) findings that the Planning
Commission must make to approve a conditional use permit. Following are the findings
in bold end staff determinations.
. A. The granting of the proposed conditionai use will not adversely affect
� the comprehensive General Plan. ,
. �
The conditional use permit location is consistent with the Commerciai General Plan
Land Use Map designation, and goals and policies in the Land Use Element.
B. That the proposed location of the conditionaf use is in accord with the �
objectives of this chapter and the purpose of the zone in which the site is
located.
, Wireless telecommunication facilities are conditiona�ly permitted uses in the H-M-D '
(Hospital-Medical-Dental) zone. The project complies with all standards set forth in
Lynwood Municipal Code Section 25-16.4.
. C. That the proposed location of the' conditional use_and the conditions
under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental
. to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to
properties or improvements in the vicinity.
The existing facility would not be significantly modified. No exterior alterations
� would be made. Only minor modifications subject to a building permit are .
proposed. l'he health and safety of the general public would be ensured.

. . Ciry of Lynwood
Project Desc�iption
Nextel Communications, Inc., would like to modify an existing authorized ���ireless
' telecommunication facility located at 3737 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard (APN 6173-
, 020-026) in the City of Lynwood. Proposed is the relocation of existing radio equipment
from the building roof to inside the building on the 6` floor. The reason for this
modification is to allow for an increase in the number of radios servicing this site in
` response to hieh neighborhood demand for tliis service. Existin� screened roof mounted .
antennas will remain at their current locations. The radio equipment shelter will also °
�� � � remain in place behind the building's mechanical equipment screen wall and will be
_ tumed over to the property owner for their use.
General Zoniog
Requested is approval of a Conditional Use Permit application to allo�v modification of a
.� � � previously authorized k%ireless telecommunication �facility. NextePs existing installation �
was approved by Ihe ciry on May 12, 1993 with the issuance of.a building permit �
authorizing the construction and'operation of a 12 antenna, three sector fa�ade mounted '
� � facility with associated radio equipmenf on the roof. The subject conditional use permit � �
`� �� � application is being submitted to bring this facility up ta date �vith current city wireless�
, telecommunication re�ulations. Nextel is unaware of any negative impact to the
� surrounding community with regard to the operation'of the existing facility. Since the
. proposed modification improves the call capacity of this installation without generating '
� � any change to the building's current appearance, no significant impact is anticipated with � �
the approval of this project.
System Descriptioo
Nextel has been authorized by the Federal Communicaticins Commission (FCC) to
construct and operate the first dual-purpose digital mobile radio system inthe United !
States. The system provides superior service to the public by upgrading the current
analog Specialized Mobile Radio (SMR) system (used primarily as a dispatch
communications system for fleet users) to�state-of-the-art digital technology. This service
. is offered to local public safety entities as well as to the general public. In the event of a
natural disaster, Nextel has the ability to provide emergency communications within the ,
04/08/2004 '
��� � � ��surrounding area, as ��as done for the amencan�Red Cross during the recent Aorthridee �
,. Earthquake. _ �
The new Enhanced Specialized Nlobile Radio (ESiv1R) system offers rivo-�i ay radio
-. ', , service, including a dispatch function for fleet vehicle users, while also providin�
� _ � � telephone;�data transmission, pagine,�short messaoe functions, and voice mail services. �
Thesystem �provides the ability to create user ``talkgroups" w�ithin specifi'c eeo�raphic ��
:' azeas, wherein a dispatcher can contact only the cl'osest units to a�iven location rather
than [he entire �fleet. This streamlines the dispatchin� process while allou ing faster �
, response to customer demand. •
' The advantages of a,fully digital system are many-fold compared to the analog/di�ita]
,, � hybrid systems currently in existence. The system is more efficient, requiring fewer sites
to serve the same number of customers. Additionally, digital transmissions are nearly
indecipherable for any poientia! eavesdropping devices. .
n � � _ �The service� area is divided into a grid of theoretically hexaeonal geographic areas: A! the- ��
center of each area is a low power,. unmanned radio repeater station, which handles ihe
calls to and from mobile customers �aithin the area. As a mobile unit moves from one .
: � �'- area to another with� a call �in progress, the call is automatically "handed ofP' to the next ��
iepeater station without interruption. • �
Telephone line connections between repeater sites and the s�i itching office, and. from the
switching office to the telephone company central office, permit mobile customers within .
�. �� � the service azea to utilize� their phones, with direct dialin�, no operator, and with superior �
. audio quality.
' Users may opt for one or more of the following seri ices:
. • Dispatch only - handles communications between a mobile imit and a dispatcher.
• • Telephone Interconnect only - similar to niobile cellular phones that allow only one-
to-one communications through mobile and land based telephone lines.
• Multi-Function - provides users �vith the ad� antages of all functions.
