| 05/11/2012 | MPADILL1 | COMMUNITY PLANNING | REVIEW | Approved | PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT SE-12-61 Verizon-Broadway Boulevard (SEC Broadway and Kolb) General Plan 5/10/12 MT This proposal is for a special exception use in the C-2 commercial zone, to allow a wireless communication facility designed as a monopalm. The site is at 7120 E. Broadway Boulevard, located at the southeast corner of Broadway Boulevard and Kolb Road. The site is a commercial retail center with approximately 10-acres. The applicant is proposing a 72-foot high monopalm with associated ground equipment within a 21'8" X 16'8" lease area that will be located along the south façade (rear) of the main building where the building has a notched-out area adjacent to loading zones. The notched area of the building where the proposed monopalm and associated ground equipment will be placed is not visible from the adjacent multi-family complex located to the south. Primary vehicular access to allow maintenance to the wireless communication facility will be from Kolb Road using an existing PAAL and parking area located along the south boundary of the commercial retail center. According to the Major Streets and Routes Plan, Broadway Boulevard and Kolb Road are Gateway Arterial Streets. Surrounding Uses/Zoning: The adjacent land developments at the intersection of Broadway Boulevard and Kolb Road are regional commercial land uses zoned C-2 commercial. To the east across Montego Drive are single-family town homes zoned R-2 residential, adjacent to the south is a multi-family complex zoned R-3 residential, to the west across Kolb Road are residential developments within the interior of the neighborhood with single family site built homes zoned R-1 residential and commercial retail business along Broadway Boulevard zoned C-1 commercial, respectfully. The nearest residential unit to the proposed monopalm site is approximately 144 feet to the south, within the multi-family complex. Special Exception Presubmitted Meeting: The applicant attended a special exception pre-application conference meeting on October 19, 2011. At the special exception pre-application meeting staff discussed a variety of issues that would need to be addressed: plan amendment not required for special exception to proceed; Visual impacts are expected to be minimized by the proposed stealth monopalm design that will help mitigate and reduce visual impacts; design compatibility details to include a minimum frond count of 60 fronds; frond must vary in length 7'-10' and be placed to extend above, below and between antennas; back must be cladding-not just paint; panels must be painted light/shade cameo-provide color sample; set up monopalm for 2nd carrier to be co-located within the pineapple under crown; frond colors should be close to living palms; provide color sample; and a stipulation that existing Kolb array (NEC Kolb/Broadway) must be removed upon completion of the monopalm. Neighborhood Meeting: There was a neighborhood meeting held on April 14, 2012 at the rear of the commercial center on the SEC of Broadway and Kolb. The sign-in sheet shows two people in attendance. The applicant discussed the project, with the following issues being raised by the neighbors: one participant wanted to ensure tower on Kolb comes down with approval of Circle Plaza Tower. The other participant was City of Tucson Council Member Paul Cunningham who gave support to the proposed tower and location. Land Use Policies: General Plan Policy 3.7 (Element 4) requires that, if possible, telecommunications facilities be located, installed and maintained to minimize visual impacts and preserve views. Visual impacts are a key consideration during the review process. Policy 4.6 (General Plan, Element 4) promotes the coordination of efforts of government, private developers and utility firms to improve the appearance of above-ground utilities and structures. Conclusion: The proposed monopalm and the ground equipment compound lease area are to be within a commercial retail center with 10-acres. The location is along the south façade of the main building and within notched out area, in which the ground equipment is screened by the building footprint and will not be visible from the adjacent multi-family complex located to the south. Due to the proposed height of 72 feet, the monopalm will be visible from surrounding areas. However, the monopalm stealth design and color blend will mitigate visual impacts and the ground level equipment will not be visible from adjacent properties. The nearest residential unit is 144 feet to the south and within a multi-family complex. The proposal is consistent with the General Plan land use plan policies, and does not require a plan amendment. Plan Compliance and Recommendation: The request for special exception is consistent with policy direction in the General Plan, and does not require a plan amendment. It is the opinion of staff that the special exception application can be distributed for further processing. Staff believes special exception conditions can be used to address compatibility concerns. Anticipated conditions include: " Communication tower shall be stealth in design, disguised as a monopalm; " Monopalm shall not exceed 72 feet in height; " Monopalm shall include crown, pineapple, and cladding of pole from pineapple to ground surface; " Ground equipment to be located as shown on preliminary development plan dated 5/2/2012; " Monopalm must vary in length 7'-10' and be placed to extend above, below and between antennas; " Cladding shall not be painted out, cladding panels must be painted light/shade cameo-provide sample; " Set up monopalm for 2nd carrier to co-locate in pineapple under crown; " frond colors shall be close to living palms; provide color sample; " Existing Kolb array located at NEC Kolb/Broadway shall be removed upon completion of the monopalm (prior to the final electrical inspection) f:\caserev\rezoning\rez 12-61\SE-12-61ipc.doc |
