Why Oppose Conditional
Use Permit 4657 Cingular Celltower at Hillsides Church Home for Children at 940 Ave 64
 Preserve... - Open
Space 17acres of Chaparel habitat. Homes to many wild animals, protected trees, accessed
by Public for its beautiful scenic view. Project site is the Southwest corridor to City
of Pasadena.
- Extensive Wildlife...including California Fish and Game protectedSwainson's
Hawk
- Integrity of an Historic Hill...the only remaining undeveloped , substantial tract of the San
Rafael Ranch. Grand Deed covenant perpetually restricts commercial usage at 17 acres Hillsides property.
- Neighborhood Beauty / Peace...construction vehicles up very narrow Church St and dirt path to project
site limits traffic flow/ access and damage protected tree and plant life
Protect... - Property Value...project is surrounded 100%
by residential area. Closest multi million dollar residence to project facility less than 30ft. Commercial / industrial application
is not appropriate.
- Health and Environment...electromagnetic radiation poses health risks, including
cancer and DNA damage, especially to young children ( studies have cause LAUSD to ban towers at all schools) HILLSIDES
Church Home for Children, their own facility is less than 100ft away from project facility.
- Against
fire hazard...hill is posted as hazardous brush fire zone, designated by State and City. Battery vault for
project filled with Sulfuric acid plus 900ft of underground electrical lines are too risky.
 NO sufficient access is available for Fire Dept to the project facility.
Prevent... - Domino Effect...if approved, it sets a precedent
for other commercial developments, including more cell towers, to be added onto this currently pristine land
- Landslides
/ Soil Erosion...Over 100 dump trucks of dirt will be excavated; this huge amount of soil excavation will compromise
the integrity of the hill and make community homes more prone to landslides; also, the water table is under the proposed site.
