| 07/24/2012 | JOHN BEALL | COMMUNITY PLANNING | REVIEW | Completed | PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT SE-12-76ipc AT&T - E. Speedway Boulevard General Plan and Pantano Area Plan 7/19/12 RH This proposal is for a special exception use in the C-1 (general commercial) zone to allow a 65 foot wireless communication facility in the form of a stealth canister located on a light pole. The site is at 9490 East Speedway Boulevard at the southwest corner of Speedway Boulevard and Harrison Road located in a City park and ride facility. The light pole located canister antenna will join a similar existing antenna and use the existing enclosed ground equipment area. Maintenance to the wireless communication facility will use the existing circulation system in the park and ride lot. According to the Major Streets and Routes Plan, Speedway Boulevard and Harrison Road are both designated arterial streets. Surrounding Uses/Zoning: The adjacent land use and zoning surrounding the subject parcel is as follows: to the east is land zoned R-1 (low density residential) developed with single family residential units on the east side of Harrison Road; to the north is C-1 (general commercial) zoned land on the north side of Speedway Boulevard which is currently vacant on the northeast corner of Harrison Road and developed with a Walgreens Drug store commercial use on the northwest corner; to the west is land zoned R-2 (medium density residential) and developed with a medium density residential complex; and, to the south is land zoned C-1 (general commercial) developed with a vet clinic. The nearest residential unit to the proposed new antenna location is over 90 feet to the west. Special Exception Presubmitted Meeting: The applicant attended a special exception pre-application conference meeting on February 22, 2012. At the special exception pre-application meeting staff discussed a variety of points: a plan amendment would not be required for the special exception to proceed; the proposed antenna design reflect the existing canister design at this site, the PDP to include a description of the proposed canister and existing equipment enclosure with details such as color, materials, etc; and, recommended contacting Jim Rossi in Real Estate for the city. Neighborhood Meeting: There was a neighborhood meeting held on July 2, 2012 at the Golf Links Library located at 9640 East Golf Links Road. The sign-in sheet records only the applicant and one homeowner located to the south of the antenna site were in attendance at the meeting. Based on the information provided by the applicant, the interested party in attendance expressed no concerns about the proposed antenna. Land Use Policies: The General Plan and the Pantano East Area Plan (PEAP) provide policy direction for this site. 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. The commercial policy section of the PEAP provides the following policy direction for this site. Commercial uses should be located at the intersection of major streets, where commercial uses already exist. New commercial uses should be carefully integrated with surrounding uses. Conclusion: The proposed light pole located stealth canister antenna is consistent in design with the existing antenna already located on the site. The new antenna is at the intersection of major streets and has been carefully integrated into the layout of the site. The use of an existing equipment enclosure will limit new construction in the area. Due to the proposed 65 foot height, the proposed light pole located stealth canister antenna will be visible from surrounding areas. However, the proposed light pole located stealth canister antenna design will mitigate visual impacts and no new ground level equipment enclosures will be required for the new antenna reducing the overall impact from the development of this facility. Plan Compliance and Recommendation: The request for special exception is consistent with policy direction provided by the General Plan and the Pantano East Area Plan, therefore, a plan amendment is not required. 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 a light pole located stealth canister antenna; · The light pole located stealth canister antenna shall not exceed 65 feet in height; · The light pole located stealth canister antenna shall be similar in color with the existing antenna already located on site, and, · Ground equipment to be jointly used as shown on preliminary development plan accepted on 7/13/2012. f:/sharedri/UPDfiles/DevRev/caserev/SP-Excpt/SE 11-12/SE-12-76ipc AT&T - E.
