Design Review Subcommittee Special Meeting July 16, 2026

The City of San Clemente Design Review Subcommittee held a special meeting on July 16, 2026, primarily to review and provide feedback on a proposed AT&T roof-mounted wireless telecommunications facility at the Travel Lodge located at 2441 South El Camino Real. The discussion focused on three design options for the facility's enclosure, which would replace an existing small cell site and expand the equipment footprint and height, requiring a conditional use permit due to exceeding the 45-foot height limit. The subcommittee provided input favoring a minimalistic design approach that matches the building's existing stucco texture and paint color, avoiding overly decorative or large-scale additions. The project will proceed to the Planning Commission for formal approval. No formal votes were taken on the design, as the meeting served to gather preliminary feedback. The next Design Review Subcommittee meeting was scheduled for July 29, 2026.
