7. Public Mapping System available to the Public on the City Web Site.
8. A Monetary penalty for expired permits. $ 3,500 sounds reasonable.

If Council needs more time to discuss the Concerns of the Residents than A Temporary MORATORIUM Needs to be motioned on all current pending wireless permits for ALL OF Residential  and 1,500 feet from A residential zone until the research is done OR Amend with the above motions and execute Article 39 as an urgency ordinance to cover pending applications.

THANK YOU,  Founder of OCAFN, Holly

The City of Oceanside has been approving wireless permits under the Wireless Telecommunication Facilities Ordinance from 1997!   We also found numerous Expired permits spanning from 2-7 years expired and continuing to operate as well all wireless permits for 98.5% are an Administrative Type Permit (one staff person gets to approve).

These findings further lead us to understand the City of Oceanside currently has No Clear ACCOUNTING for the all active sites within the city.  We ask City Staff and Council to complete a city wide accounting for all towers/antennas. We ask the City of Oceanside to create a detailed mapping system and place a link on the cities website for public review. 

•   Our main goal at this time is to protect the citizens from wireless towers/antennas proliferation into residential areas, schools and residential zoned Public Right of Ways. 
  • This is all possible under federal law within local authority to have discretion using a cities wireless ordinance as Restricted or Disfavored SITING CRITERIA residential zones, residential public right of ways, schools, daycares, and (churchs in residential or set back areas)
    

• OCAFN  would like the City of Oceanside to assume a proper mapping of all sites,  accounting for all active sites, and up-date the ordinance to reflect current law, address aesthetics to older sites in operation, reflect current scientific literature, reflect court cases that up hold all local authority.

• The Matrix Consulting Report for the City of Oceanside (Feb.9,2009) page 23, last line. "The wireless ordinance zoning and development standards are NOT CURRENT"   Our tax monies paid for this Report, shouldn't we impose areas of concern? Otherwise Council is wasting money.
