Conditional Use Permit: New 50-foot Freestanding Wireless Telecommunications Facility (940 Hilltop Drive)

A 50-foot freestanding wireless telecommunications facility, designed to resemble a faux eucalyptus tree, is proposed for installation at 940 Hilltop Drive in Chula Vista, California, on a 3.89-acre parcel that includes an existing church within an R-1 single-family residential zone. The facility will house twelve antennas and one equipment enclosure to enhance AT&T Mobility’s wireless network coverage and capacity. The project has been deemed eligible for a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15303, which applies to new construction or conversion of small structures with minimal environmental impact. The applicant, MD7, LLC, acting on behalf of AT&T Mobility, submitted the necessary documentation to the City of Chula Vista, including a Notice of Exemption and fee payment receipts, with regulatory filings processed through the San Diego County Clerk’s Office. No federal procurement or contract clauses apply, as this is a local land use and environmental permitting matter, not a government acquisition. The facility’s design aims to minimize visual impact on the surrounding residential neighborhood while meeting telecommunications infrastructure needs. Approval is contingent upon compliance with local zoning regulations and the confirmed CEQA exemption, which eliminates the need for a full Environmental Impact Report. No formal contract line items, pricing schedules, delivery schedules, or federal acquisition regulations govern the project, as the transaction involves municipal permitting and associated regulatory fees—not a procurement contract. The primary administrative contact is the City of Chula Vista’s Principal Planner, with financial obligations limited to CEQA-related filing fees totaling approximately $4,123.50 for the Environmental Impact Report. Inspection and acceptance will occur on-site at the installation location, with the City of Chula Vista serving as the approving authority. There are no federal contracting elements such as COR, COTR, payment systems, accounting codes, or socioeconomic certifications included in the application.
