| 08/29/2008 | MATT FLICK | ENGINEERING | REVIEW | Completed | DSD Engineering has no objection or adverse comment for a Special Exception for a 65' monopalm cellular facility behind the building at 6202 S Sears Blvd. Access will be from existing locations along Sears Boulevard. The site does not lie within a mapped floodplain. Although the site lies within a critical basin (Rodeo Wash watershed), the small increase in impervious area is not significant enough to warrant detention/retention. No conditions are requested.

| 09/08/2008 | JUDITH IMHOFF | COMMUNITY PLANNING | REVIEW | Completed | DEPARTMENT OF URBAN PLANNING & DESIGN SE-08-31 AT&T at New Spain Industrial Park - Seas Boulevard P-I Special Exception ZEFNP Kino Area Plan and General Plan 09/08/08 rh This is a Special Exception request to allow an unmanned cellular communications facility at 6202 S. Sears Boulevard, located west of the intersection of Sears Boulevard and Ganley Road. The applicant proposes a new 71-foot tall stealth monopalm wireless facility that includes a 25' X 40' ground area for wireless communication equipment. The wireless communication facility will be centralized on site and located between two buildings with the ground equipment designed to be screened by a six-foot tall chain link fence with slates. The areas to the north and south of the parcel are zoned P-1, to the east across Ganley is zoned I-1 and R-2, to the west across Campbell Avenue is the Sunnyside High School grounds zoned R-2 and Las Montanas Apartments complex zoned R-3. Policy Summary Policy guidance is provided by the Kino Area Plan (KAP), the General Plan, and the Design Guidelines Manual. Policy 1 of the KAP calls for the concentration of industrial development on land immediately north and east of the Tucson International Airport (Site 1). Element #4, Community Character and Design, under Policy 3.7 of the General Plan states that whenever possible, telecommunications facilities should be located, installed, and maintained to minimize visual impacts and preserve views. Policy 4.6 also promotes the coordination of efforts of government, private developers, and utility firms to improve the appearance of necessary aboveground utility lines and structures. Discussion The proposed monopalm is located an area designated for industrial development in the KAP. The proposed monopole will be disguised as a palm tree and will be located within a developed site zoned P-1. The Plans support the requested land use when visual appropriate design elements and buffering techniques to mitigate the potential negative impacts of more intense development on established neighborhoods are employed. The proposed wireless communication facility addresses the need to provide a stealth design by proposing a monopalm. In addition, two live palm trees are proposed to be added to the site to provide context for the proposed monopalm. The proposed ground equipment is design to be consistent with surrounding development. This approach is in general compliance with the intent of both Plans. Recommendation The proposed special exception land use for a stealth monopalm, for an unmanned AT&T wireless communication facility is in general compliance with applicable policy and the intent of the Kino Area Plan, the General Plan, and the Design Guidelines Manual. The following special exception conditions are recommended to support applicable policies. 1. The top of the stealth (palm tree design) monopalm shall not exceed seventy-five feet in height. · GP Element 4, Policy 3., 3.7 · GP Element 4, Policy 5, 5.5, 5.5.A 2. Add two live palm trees to the site to provide context for the proposed monopalm. · GP Element 4, Policy 3., 3.7 3. Screen wall designed to hide the telecommunication ground equipment shall be consistent with the existing screening in the industrial area and to be graffiti resistant. · GP Element 4, Policy 3., 3.7 · GP Element 4, Policy 5., 5.5, 5.5.A · Design Guidelines Manual (1.B.2.e) Plan Policy General Plan Element 4:Community Character and Design Policy 3: Preserve scenic views of natural features and community landmarks. Supporting Policy 3.7: Require that, whenever possible, telecommunications facilities be located, installed, and maintained to minimize visual impact, preserve views, and be consistent with the City's adopted land use plans and policies. Cabling and fiber optics should be installed underground where possible, and the visual impact of cellular towers will be a prime consideration in the City's acceptance and approval. Policy 5: Promote neighborhood identity and visual character 5.5 A Consider incentives for telecommunications providers to install infrastructures, not only in the newer areas, but also in older neighborhoods to increase opportunities for all citizens to have access to high-tech telecom services. Kino Area Plan Overall Goal To establish guidelines for the future growth of the Kino area and to provide a balance of uses and a wide range of activities, including employment, shopping, housing, and recreation. Industrial All areas in the region have particular characteristics, which make them more suitable for certain land uses than other areas. Sites in the Kino area have a number of features appropriate for industrial facilities. These include: 1) good accessibility to airport, railroad, Interstate 10 and truck facilities 2) relatively inexpensive vacant land, and 3) large amounts of industrial zoned land. For these and other reasons, rapid industrial development is occurring and will continue to occur in Kino. SUB-GOAL: Encourage the integration of appropriate industrial sites within the Kino Area. (GP, Section 11, Policy 8B) POLICY 1: Concentrated industrial development should be promoted on the land immediately north and east of the Tucson International Airport (Site 1). Design Guidelines Manual e. Design Context and Neighborhood Character (1.B.2.e) Intent - Improve the character of new projects and reinforce existing architectural character in established neighborhoods. Solution - Harmonize new buildings with existing buildings by incorporating design elements of the adjacent architecture including the following: · Scale and massing of structure · Finishes, materials, and colors · Site amenities such as walls and landscaping s:\caserev\SP-ECPT\SE08-09\ SE-08-31 AT&T at New Spain Industrial Park - Sears Boulevard |
