| 09/24/2008 | MCASTRO2 | COMMUNITY PLANNING | REVIEW | Completed | DEPARTMENT OF URBAN PLANNING & DESIGN SE-08-40 AT&T - Mission Rd. R-1, ZELP (Ward 1) Tumamoc Area Plan and General Plan 9/24/08 jsh (initial compliance review) Introduction - This special exception request is to install a 65-foot high stealth monopalm on a vacant parcel south of, owned by and adjacent to the Enchanted Hills Baptist Church. The church is located at 3020 S. Misison Road, on the western side of Mission Road, south of W. 36th Street. Mission Road is a scenic route according to the Major Streets and Routes Plan. The monopalm and ground equipment would be located in a 1600-square-foot lease area south of the church parking lot, and southeast of the existing church building. The lease area, which would be accessed from Mission Road through the church parking lot, would be enclosed by an 8-foot high wall that would match the church building. Area Land Uses and Zoning - The special exception site is located in a predominantly residential area. Large, unsubdivided parcels, several of which are undeveloped, lie along both sides of Mission Road, north and south of the site. North of the church is a large, 2-story apartment complex in R-3 zoning. South of the church are undeveloped parcels in R-1 zoning, including a 0.91-acre parcel south of and adjacent to the special exception site, which is also owned by the Enchanted Hills Baptist Church. Further south are large R-1 parcels developed with single family residences, a bar and a convenience market with fueling stations. West of the site are several Enchanted Hills subdivisions in R-1 zoning. The Enchanted Hills Wash, an Environmental Resource Zone (ERZ) wash, is approximately 600 feet south of the special exception site. On the eastern side of Mission Road is a semi-rural area along the West Branch of the Santa Cruz River. Land Use Plan Policy Summary - The site is located within the bounds of the Tumamoc Area Plan. That plan and the General Plan provide policy guidance relevant to this request. Tumamoc Area Plan policies support residential development at mid-suburban densities (2-4 units per acre) in Area 23, in which the site is located. General Plan policies require that telecommunications facilities be located, installed and maintained to minimize visual impact and preserve views. Policies encourage providers to install facilities not only in newer areas, but also in older neighborhoods, to increase opportunities for all citizens to have access to high-tech telecom services. Other policies support water conservation and the use of water harvesting to promote efficient use of water resources. Adequate Information for Plan Compliance - The applicant attended a presubmittal meeting with staff on April 23, 2008. The required neighborhood meeting was held on June 17, 2008. Five people attended, including two affiliated with the church. Based on the information provided, no concerns or objections were voiced. A site inventory/design compatibility report was submitted with the application. The application materials are complete. Sufficient information has been provided to demonstrate compliance with the land use plans, and a plan amendment is not needed. Recommendation - It is recommended that the application be distributed for further processing. LAND USE PLANS Tumamoc Area Plan (the site is in Area 23) No specific policy direction applies. The Plan supports residential uses in Area 23, at mid-suburban (2-4 units per acre ) densities. Vacant lots are to be developed with compatible residential development at mid-suburban densities. General Plan o Element 2 Policy 3 is to protect established neighborhoods by supporting compatible development. § Supporting Policy 3.9 is to support nonresidential uses, where the scale and intensity of use will be compatible with adjacent uses, including residential development, neighborhood schools and businesses. o Element 4, Supporting Policy 3.7 requires that, whenever possible, telecommunication 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 4 is to design and maintain streets to enhance their overall functional and aesthetic quality. Supporting Policy 4.6 is to promote the coordination of efforts of government, private developers, and utility firms to improve the appearance of necessary above ground utility lines and structures. § Policy 5 is to promote neighborhood identity and visual character. § Action 5.5.A is to consider incentives for telecommunications providers to install infrastructure, not only in newer areas, but also in older neighborhoods to increase opportunities for all citizens to have access to high-tech telecom services. o Element 8, Policy 3 is to promote water conservation. § Supporting Policy 3.2 is to support conservation and efficient water use in an effort to minimize the need for new water sources. Design Guideline I.B.3.b., Water Harvesting - The intent is to conserve water resources and preserve drainage patterns, thereby reducing engineering and irrigation costs. Solutions include designing for water harvesting to direct all excess runoff onto vegetated areas by providing depressed areas around newly planted trees and shrubs, and harvesting runoff using surface grading. s:\caserev\SP-EXCPT\SE08-09\SE-08-40_AT&T_Mission_Rd.doc |
