Reclassify and Amend Unclassified Use Permit (UUP) No. 46 as Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 26-04.

The City of South Gate is seeking to reclassify and amend its existing Unclassified Use Permit (UUP) No. 46 to a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 26-04 to authorize modifications to a monopole wireless telecommunications facility located at 9611 Pinehurst Avenue in South Gate Park. The scope of work includes the removal, replacement, and reconfiguration of antennas, remote radio heads, and associated support equipment, along with upgrades to power and battery backup systems, all confined within the existing facility footprint without significant expansion. The project qualifies for a categorical exemption under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15301, which permits minor alterations to existing facilities with minimal environmental impact, eliminating the need for a full environmental review. The permit amendment is administrative in nature, reflecting a non-discretionary, ministerial approval process rather than a competitive procurement, and therefore no formal solicitation, evaluation factors, contract value, or federal acquisition regulation (FAR) clauses apply. Documentation required for the amendment includes a Notice of Exemption filed with the State of California and a $75.00 processing fee, submitted via paper to designated state and local offices. The City’s Planning Division, represented by Associate Planner Joshua Valdez, is the responsible authority overseeing the permit change, with John McDonald of EukonGroup acting as the applicant agent for AT&T. All work must comply with local land use regulations and the conditions of the exemption, with no formal inspection criteria or quality standards beyond compliance with CEQA and standard telecommunications construction practices. The project is expected to proceed upon approval, with no defined performance timeline or delivery schedule specified beyond the permitting process and on-site implementation at the identified location.
