| 08/11/2008 | ROGER HOWLETT | COMMUNITY PLANNING | REVIEW | Completed | DEPARTMENT OF URBAN PLANNING & DESIGN SE-08-32 Verizon at Pantano Parkview - 22nd Street C-2 Special Exception ZEFNP Pantano East Area Plan/General Plan 8/11/08 drcorral ipc The proposed special exception land use is for the installation of a collocated antenna for Verizon Wireless. The site is zoned C-2 and is located at 8140 E. 22nd Street where there is an automotive use facility with an existing 50-foot-high monopole, as an accessory use located at the southeast corner of the site. The proposed communications tower is a collocation, adding a 15-foot-high extension to the existing pole for a total height not exceeding 65 feet. The new six (6) antennas are proposed to be flush mounted and the associated equipment area will be located within a 30' by 25'7" leased premises just north of the existing tower compound. The entire compound will be enclosed with an 8-foot-high slatted chain link fence to screen the equipment from off-site views. There is an existing block wall along the east and south perimeter of the site. The subject site is bounded by C-3 zoned property to the south and east and by C-2 zoned property to the north of west, and is approximately 380 feet south from 22nd street. Policy Summary The Pantano East Area Plan (PEAP) and the General Plan provide land use guidance for the subject parcel. The City of Tucson's Design Guidelines Manual lends additional design guidance. The PEAP supports the requested land use when the use is located on an arterial street and the proposed use is integrated with other commercial uses. The PEAP and the General Plan both 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. Discussion The applicant attended a presubmittal meeting with staff on April 2, 2008, and held a neighborhood meeting May 1, 2008. There were no attendees at this meeting nor were there any phone calls of written inquires. Recommendation Based on the appropriate meeting information and the preliminary development plan, sufficient information has been provided to determine that the proposed project is in substantial compliance with Plan policies and will not require a plan amendment. Staff will review plans for the proposed project based on but not limited to; stealth design, and buffering and screening material for ground equipment. Plan Policies PANTANO EAST AREA PLAN The Pantano East Area Plan area extends east of Pantano Wash to Houghton Road, and south of Tanque Verde Road and Tanque Verde Creek to Golf Links Road. The Plan provides guidelines for future growth while protecting existing development. Policies applicable to this request are as follows: Policy 1. Promote commercial developments in appropriate locations in the area. Implementation Techniques A. Locate commercial uses at the intersection of major streets, where commercial zoning already exists. Regional, community, and neighborhood level commercial uses should be located at the intersection of arterial streets. Neighborhood and community level commercial uses may also be appropriate at the intersection of arterial and collector streets, if carefully integrated with surrounding uses. B. Rezoning to commercial uses should be based on all of the following: i. the demonstrated need for commercial zoned land in the area; ii. the site is located on an arterial street; iii. the proposed use is integrated with other adjacent commercial uses; iv. the adjacent uses are adequately buffered. Policy 2.B. Ensure future commercial developments be: i. restricted to limited number of access points; ii. integrated with adjacent commercial development; and iii. designed in harmony with adjacent residential uses. VI. DESIGN GUIDELINES A. GENERAL SITE DESIGN Guideline 5. Design any development that will be adjacent to lower intensity uses to have similar spatial, mass, scale, and height elements to harmonize with surrounding residential and nonresidential uses. B. FREESTANDING WALLS Guideline 2. Utilize decorative materials (such as tile, stone, or brick), coarse textured covering materials (such as stucco or plaster), colors that are predominant in the natural desert landscape, or a combination of these techniques. Guideline 6. Design masonry walls in such a manner that they will not impede storm water runoff. 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. 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 s:\caserev\SP-ECPT\SE08-09\ SE-08-32 Verizon at Pantano Parkview - 22nd Street ipc |
