The Gamma Knif proposed amendment includes: a request to establish an Approved employee child care facility to be located in prefabricated modular buildings adjacent to Newport Boulevard; the Child Care construction of a Gamma Knife facility; the construction & Admin. of an addition to the administrative offices, some of which offices will be located in prefabricated modular buildings; the Continued installation of three identification signs on the easterly, to 6 -8 -89 southerly and westerly elevations of the existing hospital tower; and the acceptance of an environmental document.

ZONE: A -P -H • APPLICANT: Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian, Newport Beach OWNER: Same as applicant The public hearing opened in connection with this item, and Mr. Michael D. Stephens, President, Hoag Memorial Hospital, Presbyterian, appeared before the Planning Commission, and he introduced Mr. Pete Foulke, Senior Vice President, and Mr. F. W. Evins, Vice President for Facilities and Planning. Mr. Stephens requested that the application to install three identification signs on the existing hospital tower be deleted inasmuch as hospital representatives met with adjacent neighbors and the applicant is responding to their concerns. In response to questions posed by Chairman Pomeroy, Mr. Stephens concurred with the findings and conditions in Exhibit "A ". Mr. Stephens addressed the delay of Hoag Hospital's Master Plan, and the necessity of the projects that the Hospital has brought to the City for consideration prior to the completion of the Master Plan. He maintained that inasmuch as technology is changing at a rapid rate there is a need to expand the facility so as to accommodate additional • -10- COMMISSIONERS ymG �04J a+� �yffoso CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH MINUTES May 4, 1989 ROCLwCALL INDEX personnel to provide human services to the community. Mr. Stephens explained that the timeframe after the Hospital submits the City's approved plans to the State Architecture for approval is between four to six months. Mr. Stephens explained that a 700 square foot addition to the existing administrative wing is requested to accommodate additional personnel. He further explained that temporary modular office space would provide a location for administrative functions for the hospital while the child care facility utilized a portion of the Conference Center. Mr. Stephens stated that if the projects coincided with two other projects that would be under construction, the emergency room parking area would be relieved of crowded parking conditions. Mr. Stephens explained that an addition is required to house the Gamma Knife facility inasmuch as the equipment requires special insulation. He stated that the Hospital had been approached by the manufacturer regarding the new technology that provides the treatment of brain lesions, • and if they do not have an appropriate facility they will lose the opportunity to install one of the few facilities in the United States. Mr. Stephens emphasized Hoag Hospital's critical need to provide a day care center for the staff. He explained that 80 percent of the employees are female and a large portion of that percentage are single parents. Mr. Stephens further explained that when Hoag Hospital purchased the Cal -Trans parcel, the employees were advised that there would be a day care center at that location; however, he said that subsequent to that time, the cancer center has been approved and under construction and the Master Site Plan has been delayed. Mr. Stephens stated that there is an indication that the Hospital will be losing nurses at a critical time because of the competitive standards that are currently being set in hospitals to provide on -site day care centers. He stated that day care will be provided in the hospital in Irvine,.and it is currently available in Fountain Valley. Mr. Stephens explained that the goal is to provide a child care facility available by August, 1990, because parents would be making plans over the summer months for day care and the parents would be making changes at that time. Mr. Stephens advised that the off -site location that had been considered was no longer available because the day care facility would have been only • temporary. He explained that on a temporary basis, the only viable use to provide the needed capacity would be a -11- . COMMISSIONERS BG y o w y c q !00 q y o 7 g, CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH MINUTES May 4, 1989 ROLL CALL INDEX portion of the Conference Center area in addition to the on -site modular buildings. Mr. Stephens emphasized that no facility is more important inasmuch as day care is essential to morale, and it would provide the ability to recruit and retain nurses. He concluded that the next great crises in health care is going to be the lack of availability of nursing personnel and other allied professions. Commissioner Pers6n addressed Hoag Hospital's changing needs and technology; however, he stated that the piecemeal applications could be considered in the Master Plan. In response to questions posed by Commissioner Pers6n, Mr. Stephens replied that the child care center has the highest priority with respect to the future of Hoag Hospital. Mr. Stephens replied that the Hospital expects to bring the Master Plan to the City in the Fall, 1989. Mr. Stephens and Commissioner Pers6n discussed the delays of the approvals and construction of the Cancer Center. Mr. Stephens concurred that the Master Plan submitted to the City in the Fall, 1989, would include a Child Care Center on the Cal - Trans parcel; however, he said that he wanted to assure the employees that there would not be similar delays to the child care facility as there was to the Cancer Center. Commissioner Pers6n addressed his concerns regarding the cost that would be incurred because of the amount of grading and cutting that would be required to add modular buildings on the bluff above Newport Boulevard, and he said it is feasible that the Master Plan may designate the site as a permanent child care facility. Mr. Stephens responded that if the Master Plan is approved in time to construct the permanent child care facility so as to open in August, 1990, that the construction of the temporary modular facilities will not proceed. Mr. Stephens and Commissioner Pers6n addressed the feasibility of the Planning Commission approving a child care facility on the Cal -Trans site so as to assure the hospital's employees that a facility would be constructed in the future. James Hewicker, Planning Director, stated that the Hospital does not have any entitlement on the lower portion of the site other than the Cancer Center that is currently under construction. Mr. Hewicker further stated that when the Cancer Center was approved by the Coastal Commission, the Coastal Commission stated that they would not approve additional facilities on the Cal -Trans • site until there was a Master Plan. -12- COMMISSIONERS MINUTES p May 4, 1989 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ROLL CALL INDEX Mr. Stephens and Commissioner Pers6n discussed variable sites that had previously been considered for the temporary child care center including the Park Lido Building, a parking structure at Superior Avenue and Placentia Avenue, and the Hospital's parking structure. Commissioner Debay stated her support of the day care center, and she asked if the Hospital would agree to a condition that when the child care center is permanent that the Hospital would restore the bluff as an aftermath of using it as a temporary site. Mr. Stephens stated that the facility is important enough that they would stipulate that they would not come forward with any applications for another use that would involve that additional space, and that they would support the restoration of the bluff in compliance with the City's requests. Mr. Stephens emphasized the disadvantage that Hoag Hospital has compared to the Irvine hospital because day care is not provided at Hoag Hospital. In response to a question posed by Commissioner Debay regarding the projected opening of August, 1990, Mr. Stephens explained that in addition to • the date being the start of a school year, the date would also coincide with the opening of the Cancer Center when the administrative personnel would be relocated out of the Conference Center to the Cancer Center. Mr. Stephens agreed to a condition that the Hospital would be willing to restore and relandscape the bluff after the temporary modular buildings were removed. In response to questions posed by Commissioner Winburn, Mr. Stephens replied that the Cancer Center is proposed to open in March, 1990. He further replied that the Gamma Knife facility could not be accommodated in the Cancer Center facility because the therapy requires cobalt which necessitates extensive shielding in the form of very thick concrete walls. Discussion ensued between Mr. Stephens and Mr. Hewicker regarding a temporary child care center on the West Coast Highway parking lot site until the Master Plan has been approved and.the construction of the permanent child care facility. Mr. Stephens expressed his concern that the consideration of a structure on the Cal -Trans site prior to the approval of a Master Plan would engender more opposition than what the applicants are currently • Proposing. -13- COMMISSIONERS ym 'r' �yNt^y9 9 9 �SJc Gyy9O Oy C�P�ya CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH MINUTES May 4, 1989 RCRWCALL INDEX In response to questions posed by Commissioner Edwards regarding what the affect would be to the Hospital if the child care center would not be approved, Mr. Stephens replied that it would have an adverse impact on the Hospital. Mr. Stephens explained that there is currently a 12 percent nurse vacancy rate and it is imperative that there be an incentive to attract nurses. He stated that without a child care center it would be taking away a very important element in the recruiting program. Mr. Stephens further replied that the Master Plan's Environmental Impact Report is currently being processed. Discussion ensued between Mr. Stephens and Commissioner Pers6n regarding compromises that could be made involving parking areas between the Cal -Trans site and the upper campus area. Commissioner Debay expressed her concern regarding a temporary child care center on the Cal -Trans property during the construction of the Cancer Center and the widening of West Coast Highway. . Chairman Pomeroy stated that he has no objection to a child care center. He said that there has to be a more prudent solution than to tear a bluff apart, construct temporary buildings on the bluff, and then restore the bluff. Chairman Pomeroy suggested sites should be considered that would accommodate not only a temporary child care facility but also a permanent facility. Commissioner Di Sano concluded that the primary factor concerning the child care center is not dollars but timing, and that the Hospital is requesting the subject site on the basis that the Cal -Trans site is not guaranteed to be approved. Mrs. Peg Morreale, 270 Cagney Lane, appeared before the Planning Commission to state her objections to the numerous amendments to the original use permit. She requested that in fairness to the residents that the subject amendment be denied until a Master Plan has been submitted to the City. Mr. John Chamberlain, 260 Cagney Lane, appeared before the Planning Commission to oppose the Gamma Knife facility. He requested that the record show that he has never met any of the Planning Commissioners prior to the public hearing; however, he invited them to his terrace to observe the hole that is in the ground between Villa Balboa and Hoag Hospital, which he believed to be the location of the Gamma -14- COMMISSIONERS F C CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH MINUTES May 4, 1989 ROT 'CALL INDEX Knife facility. Mr. Chamberlain stated his concerns regarding the lack of information pertaining to radioactivity. Mrs. Shirley Laskin, 101 Sholz Plaza, appeared before the Planning Commission to inquire how many children would be enrolled in the temporary and permanent facilities. Mr. Stephens reappeared before the Planning Commission, and he replied that the anticipated occupancy of the temporary facility would be a maximum of 100 children, five years of age and under. He did not have a firm figure for the permanent facility, but he anticipated that there would be approximately 120 children. Mr. Stephens and Chairman Pomeroy discussed the percentage of the staff that would be using the facility, and based on a survey, Mr. Stephens commented that approximately 10 percent of the nursing staff would be using the facility. Mr. Chris Hansen, 22 Encore Court, appeared before the Planning Commission on behalf of the residents of Newport Crest. In reference to the January 5, 1989, Planning Commission meeting, Use Permit No. 1421 (Amended), Exhibit • "A ", Condition No. 5, regarding the widening of Hospital Road, Mr. Hansen suggested that the condition be amended to include a traffic light to insure a smooth traffic flow. Mr. Stephens reappeared before the Planning Commission to address the previously approved Condition. The Planning Commission recessed at 8:50 p.m. and reconvened at 9:00 p.m. Mr. Dennis Hudson, Principal Planner with Child Care Associates, Irvine, appeared before the Planning Commission. Mr. Hudson addressed the relationship of the child care center with the development of the Cal -Trans site and the widening of West Coast Highway. He had reservations that the Department of Social Services, Child Care Licenses, would allow the facility to be licensed because of the amount of construction in the area. Mr. Hudson also addressed the issue of child care as it relates to transportation. He explained that studies are underway regarding how child care is helping mitigate transportation throughout California, and he pointed out that a major study has recently been completed by the City of Pasadena. In response to questions posed by Commissioner Pers6n, Mr. Hudson explained that the Child Care License Division would . not be favorable to a facility on the Cal -Trans site until the facility has been - included in the Master Plan, and in -15- COMMISSIONERS .off ��" ymG �0�9�99 sy 9j, 9y Xy�rOSO CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH MINUTES May 4, 1989 R CALL INDEX a timely fashion away from the period of heavy construction and noise level inherent with construction. Ms. J. B. Taylor, 240 Nice, appeared before the Planning Commission. She addressed the "piecemeal" applications and the proposed Master Plan, and the fear that the Hospital will come before the Planning Commission with an application and the residents will be unable to respond. Ms. Taylor inquired why the administrative staff could not be moved from the Conference Center into a temporary structure which would allow an area that could accommodate the temporary child care center. Mr. Bob Trivison, 240 Nice Lane, appeared before the Planning Commission to discuss the need for a flexible Master Plan. Chairman Pomeroy and Commissioner Pers6n responded that it is anticipated that the Master Plan will be amended periodically to accommodate the change in technology. Mr. Stephens reappeared before the Planning Commission, and he responded to the foregoing testimony. Mr. Stephens explained that the Hospital has attempted to reduce the demand for modular units by not relocating the administrative staff. Mr. Stephens stated that the use permit for the.Cancer Center would need to be amended if the Conference Center activities would be transferred to the Cancer Center. Mr. Stephens addressed the Hospital's concerns pertaining to high priority items such as the child care center, and he said that the Master Plan will not be a guide to future technology needs such as the Gamma Knife facility. Commissioner Di Sano referred to Finding No. 3, Exhibit "B ", regarding the public benefit of the Gamma Knife facility, and he inquired if the child care facility would have the same type of benefit to the community. Mr. Stephens replied that the child care facility would have a great impact on the community because of the lack of nursing services. In response to a question posed by Commissioner Di Sano, Mr. Stephens replied that two- thirds of the population of Newport Beach uses Hoag Hospital according to the data that has been received from the State. Commissioner Di Sano commented on the right of public benefit.. In response to a question posed by Commissioner Debay, Mr. • F. W. Evins appeared before the Planning Commission. Mr. Evins explained that the concern regarding the hole between -16- . COMMISSIONERS CALL • MINUTES May 4, 1989 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Villa Balboa and the Cancer Center is the tunnel link between the main. campus and the Cancer Center that was lowered out of concern of the Villa Balboa residents. Mr. Evins explained that the construction pertaining to the Gamma Knife facility is governed by the office of State Architecture, and State Health, Planning, and Development. He stated that in compliance with the Hospital Seismic Code of 1973 that hospitals are required to overbuild the facilities that are critical and essential to public health after an earthquake. There being no others desiring to appear and be heard, the public hearing was closed at this time. Commissioner Pers6n requested that a straw vote be taken with respect to each proposal. Motion was made to approve a 10,000 square foot child care center, which may be any combination of existing or temporary modular buildings to be located anywhere.on the Hoag Hospital campus other than the site proposed, and that Hoag Hospital make application for the specific site subsequent to the public hearings of the Master Plan in the event that the Master Plan is not approved. Commissioner Pers6n explained that Hoag Hospital has a concern to advise its staff that they have taken a project to the City, and they have made a commitment to child care at Hoag Hospital. He said that it is the responsibility of the City not to be emotional and grant the project on a site that is not appropriate for the type of construction that is proposed. Commissioner Pers6n further stated that it is up to the City to support the Hospital's efforts to provide child care on the Hospital campus, and he reasoned that the motion achieves that in view of the Hospital's time schedule which appears to be the summer of 1990. Commissioner Pers6n stated that in the years that he has been a Planning Commissioner, there has never been a request to allow bluff construction for temporary modular buildings. He stated that the Planning Commission may request to have a large setback along Newport Boulevard when the Master Plan comes to the City, and the Planning Commission may be limiting their options to an extent by granting the application to this particular site. He suggested that the Hospital do better planning in terms of their long range goals and needs with respect to specific sites. -17- INDEX COMMISSIONERS CALL Substitute Motion 0 Substitute Substitute Motion Ayes t on Ayes Absent x MINUTES May 4, 1989 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Commissioner Debay stated that she would not support the motion because of the time element. She explained that the Hospital is aware of the constraints, the circulation of traffic, the welfare of the children, and the extreme complications of licensing child care. She indicated that the proposed site would be temporary, and the Hospital is willing to restore the bluff. Commissioner Di Sano addressed Mr. Stephens' requests for the child care facility, the residents' adversity to Hoag Hospital's previous applications, and the Hospital's immediate desire to proceed in a timely fashion with a child care facility. Substitute motion was made to approve the child care center as requested and as applicable in Exhibit "A ". Chairman Pomeroy concurred with Commissioner Pers6n that good planning is imperative. Chairman Pomeroy stated that he supports the child care center; however, he indicated that other sites should also be explored. Commissioner Edwards stated that he had concerns regarding timing, and that changes in technology stimulates reactionary planning. He suggested that the request for a child care facility be continued to allow time for the Hospital and the City to satisfy concerns pertaining to a site that would become available by summer, 1990. Commissioner Winburn supported the request for continuance based on consideration of the schedule of the parking lot that would become available after the completion of the Lido Medical Center. Commissioner Debay and Don Webb, City Engineer, discussed the timing of the widening of West Coast Highway, Newport Boulevard, the bridge, and the parking of the construction equipment. Commissioner Pers6n stated that he would support the continuance; however, he emphasized that good planning needs to be a strong consideration. *I *I 1*11*1 Substitute Substitute Motion was made and voted on to continue consideration of the child care center to the June 8, 1989, Planning Commission meeting.

Resolution INITIATED BY: The City of Newport Beach 1190 Commissioner Debay referred to Program 4 of the Housing Approved Element, pertaining to mixed residential and commercial/ industrial use developments that improve the balance between housing and jobs. Commissioner Debay requested a clarification of (a) which states that "the City and the developer of proposed major commercial/ industrial projects shall assess the housing impact of such projects during the development review process. ..." Robert Lenard, Advance Planning Manager, explained that the foregoing section of the Housing Element has been in effect since 1984. He stated that a major project could be considered in the 500,000 square foot range. Mr. Lenard compared the assessment to an Environmental Impact Report inasmuch as the developer would fund it and the City would have the report prepared. Commissioner Debay addressed the location of housing, and Mr. Lenard explained that the housing would be provided on or off -site in cooperation with the developer. Mr. Lenard stated that the Program has been retained in the General Plan in the event there may be projects of a significant magnitude to include mixed use. Mr. David Dmohowski appeared before the Planning Commission on behalf of The Irvine Company. Mr. Dmohowski,,Vtated that the adopted Housing Element would affect Whe Irvine Company's new housing, specifically the need to provide for lower income households, and he addressed the cooperative effort between staff and Irvine Company representatives in drafting the new Housing Element Programs. Mr. Dmohowski stated that the draft Housing Element highlights the importance of economic feasibility in view of the lack of available government subsidies to make the provisions of such housing feasible and viable. He stated that the City must rely entirely on local incentives, primarily in the form of density bonus's so as to provide lower income housing. Mr. Dmohowski stated that The Irvine Company intends to meet the affordable housing requirements through the provision of rental housing. He maintained that The Irvine Company believes that rental housing by definition, is a -22- COMMISSIONERS MINUTES May 4, 1989 9y ° °y Q �cr�,yo CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ROLL CALL INDEX form of affordable housing even though under the City's strict criteria they do not receive credit for that type of housing in every case. He said that compared to other forms of housing, rental housing is considerably less costly than any other form of housing in the community, particularly when the targets for affordablility are based on fair market rent. He indicated that it is a significant private subsidy in terms of market rent vs. fair market rent on a per month per unit basis over the lifetime of a project. Mr. Dmohowski stated that density bonus is ,critical to make affordable housing feasible. Mr. Dmohowski stated that The Irvine Company is very optimistic that the Housing Element can be interpreted in a manner that will be flexible and applicable to the individual conditions of projects as they come forward, so they can in an economical and flexible way, make an attempt to implement the targets and objectives as stated in the Housing Element. In response to a question posed by Commissioner Edwards • regarding full credit for rental housing, Mr. Dmohowski explained that projects similar to Baywood are not restricted to lower income families. He said that the rents that the normal market would command would be within the median or moderate income limits defined by the State and by the County. He commented that most of the rents would fall within those categories, yet there is not an implication in the Housing Element that particular credit is being given. Mr. Dmohowski stated that rentals by definition, are a form of affordable housing, but not all of them receive specific credit under the Housing Element. Mr. Lenard explained that the Housing Element requires that a percentage of the units be affordable given a variety of circumstances and the target rents are at Orange County fair market rents, which are substantially below the market. He said that the remainder of a project, even though it is not called affordable, is quite often at rates at approximately $1,000.00 a month for a two bedroom unit, which technically is affordable to a medium income family. Mr. Lenard referred to the North Ford project, and he explained that 25 percent of the project was required to be affordable; however, realistically, 70 percent of the project was affordable if higher income categories are considered. There being no others desiring to appear and be heard, the public hearing was closed at this time. -23- COMMISSIONERS �y90 �L l�PO�y0 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH MINUTES May 4, 1989 RCETFCALL INDEX Motion * Motion was made to adopt Resolution No. 1190, recommending that the City Council approve in concept the revised draft Housing Element Amendment and accept the previously certified Environmental Document as adequate.

Amendment No. 628 (Public Hearine) Item No.8 Request to amend Title 20 of the Newport Beach Municipal A628 Code so as to establish regulations controlling the installation of satellite dish antennas in the City; and Approved the acceptance of an environmental document. INITIATED BY: The City of Newport Beach The public hearing was opened in connection with this item, and Mr. Day Hamilton, Hamilton Satellites, 2808 West Fifth Street, Santa Ana, appeared before the Planning Commission. Mr. Hamilton agreed with the draft Ordinance with two exceptions. In reference to Section 20.75.030, F (1) Roof Mounted Antennas (Size), "The diameter of any roof mounted satellite dish antenna shall not exceed six (6) feet. ", Mr. Hamilton explained that six feet would not be an adequate size in this area for satellite reception. He stated that only a roof mount is used on commercial buildings inasmuch as residential buildings will not hold the weight of an antenna, but an eave mount would be suitable. Mr. Hamilton explained that antennas are often mounted on poles to a height that receive a clear view of the satellites. In response to a question posed by Chairman Pomeroy, Mr. Hamilton explained that there are two different types of satellites: a C -Band and a new European K -U satellite that has three times the frequency and power of a C -Band satellite. He stated that 80 percent of the satellites are C -Band which require a 10 foot antenna for acceptable reception. Mr. Hamilton further explained that a 6 foot antenna would be suitable for the European K -U satellite; however, he said that there is currently almost no choice of programming for said satellite but that there will be an improvement in 5 to 10 years. In response to a question posed by Chairman Pomeroy, James Hewicker, Planning Director, replied that if staff had known that there is poor or no reception on a 6 foot C -Band -28- COMMISSIONERS .o 'oF'jFFO O' OF ZOG1F Z 04 y C��Oe yO CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH MINUTES May 4, 1989 ROITFCALL INDEX antenna, the Ordinance may have been amended to recommend a 10 foot antenna. Mr. Hewicker explained the City has no intention to prohibit the restriction of antennas, but the City is attempting to reduce the antenna height and mass. Mr. Hamilton and Commissioner Edwards discussed the diameter of antennas. Mr. Hamilton explained that 8 feet is almost not a suitable diameter inasmuch as satellites have different power outputs. He said that a diameter of 10 feet is standard throughout the United States. Carol Korade, Assistant City Attorney, stated that the FCC regulations would prohibit regulations which would unreasonably ban satellite dish antennas. She explained that the purpose is to provide reasonable reception at the smallest diameter. Discussion ensued between the Planning Commission and Mr. Hamilton regarding what would be an acceptable height for a satellite antenna. Mr. Hamilton referred to Section 20.75.030 F.(5) Permanent • Mounting which states that "All dish antennas shall be permanently mounted and no antenna may be installed on a portable or movable structure such as a trailer or motor vehicle." Mr. Hamilton explained that he has provided antennas on trailers for specific conferences or business meetings in the City, and he questioned why trailers would be prohibited. Discussion ensued between the Planning Commission and Mr. Hewicker regarding the parking of recreational vehicles and trailers on the streets. Mr. Hewicker stated that land based installation would have to be permanently mounted, and the City would not exclude a legitimate trailer mounted installation. Chairman Pomeroy suggested that F. (5) be amended to state "For land based installation, all dish antennas.." Commissioner Di Sano recommended that ".....such as a trailer or motor vehicle." be deleted. In response to a question posed by Mr. Hewicker regarding the difference between an opaque and mesh dish antenna, Mr. Hamilton explained that 90 percent of the antennas are now mesh because of the aesthetics, and they are less obtrusive. He stated that there is a similar performance between the antennas. -29- COMMISSIONERS F F - amG�y �9s�9llPO O . CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH MINUTES May 4, 1989 ROL CALL INDEX Discussion ensued between Chairman Pomeroy and Mr. Hamilton regarding the K -U antenna that is currently available in Europe. Ms. Korade depicted a scenario of an individual mounting an antenna on a trailer that would remain in a garage until he or she wanted to use the satellite. Mr. Hamilton responded that within that scenario, only two antennas have been sold at his business for commercial use, and none have been sold for a residential use. There being no others desiring to appear and be heard, the public hearing was closed at this time. Don Webb, City Engineer, explained that from a geometric standpoint, if the antenna would be increased in diameter from 6 feet to 10 feet, the area would be increased 2.7 times or 28 square feet to 78 square feet. Discussion ensued between the Planning Commission and staff with respect to whether the 8 foot or the 10 foot wide antenna would be the most effective.
