The proposed receiver site would extend south from west end of Plaza Street (the western extension
of Loma Santa Fe Drive) to a point approximately 900 feet south of Dahlia Drive. Sensitive
receptors include single- and multi-family residences on the bluffs approximately 60 feet above the
beach. The east sides of these buildings face Helix Avenue and South Sierra Avenue.
