Fort Lowell Road - C-1 Special Exception - SE-13-22 TRANSMITTAL: March 13, 2013 1. The proposed "Wireless Communication, limited to wireless communication towers and antennae", located on parcels 113-07-142B, zoned C-1. The use falls under UDC Table 4.8-4: Permitted Uses - Commercial and Mixed Use Zones - Permitted as Special Exception Use. The following Use Specific Standards apply: 4.9.4.I.2, .3 & .7 and 4.9.13.O. 2. The following dimensional Standards apply see UDC Table 6.3-4.A DIMENSIONAL STANDARDS FOR THE C-1, C-2, C-3, OCR-1, & OCR-2 ZONES a. Minimum site area = 0 Sq. Ft. b. Proposed site area = Not Provided (Existing) c. Maximum building height allowed = 30 feet d. Building height proposed = N/A (No new buildings proposed) The following items need to be noted at this time: 1. The proposed location appears to eliminate vehicle parking. The last approved site/development plan was not provided therefore Zoning was not able to verify that minimum number of vehicle parking spaces is provided. 2. Per UDC Section 7.4.6.2.b The vehicle parking space shown directly north of the enclosure is required to be ten (10) feet wide. The width of this parking space is not provided on the plan. 3. Per UDC 6.6.2.J In nonresidential zones, walls or fences, as permitted in Section 6.6.2.I above, may exceed the height standards, provided the wall or fence complies with side and rear yard standards applicable to buildings on the site. That said per UDC Table 6.3-A DIMENSIONAL STANDARDS FOR THE C-1, C-2, C-3, OCR-1, & OCR-2 ZONES the required perimeter yard setback to the R-2 zoned property to the south is twelve (12) feet for the proposed 8'-0" enclosure wall. As a perimeter yard setback dimension was not provided and based on dimensions provided on drawing T669-LL 04 the proposed eleven (11) feet setback does not meet this requirement. If you have any questions about this transmittal, please call Steve Shields, (520) 836-4956 or email Steve.Shields@tucsonaz.gov. |

| 03/21/2013 | JOHN BEALL | COMMUNITY PLANNING | REVIEW | Completed | PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT SE-13-22 AT&T - Fort Lowell Road Special Exception in the C-1 Cragin-Keeling Area Plan (CKAP) and General Plan 3/20/13 rjh Background: This a special exception request to allow for the installation of a Wireless Communication Facility (WCF) in the form of a stealth 65 foot monopalm with ground equipment and masonry screen walls in a shopping center zoned C-1 Neighborhood Commercial. The Shopping Center is located at the southwest corner of Campbell Avenue and Ft. Lowell Road. The specific WCF location is in the southwest corner of the Shopping Center in an existing parking lot. This location does not meet the minimum setback of two times the pole height from adjacent residential property. Maintenance to the wireless communication facility will use the existing circulation system in the parking lot. According to the Major Streets and Routes Plan, Campbell Avenue and Ft. Lowell Road are both designated arterial streets. Campbell Avenue is also designated a Gateway Route. The proposed WCF is located outside of the 400 foot Gateway buffer. Surrounding Zoning and Land Use: The Shopping Center that would contain the proposed WCF continues to the north and east of the special exception site and is zoned C-1 Neighborhood Commercial. To the west of the special exception site is an office/shopping center zoned C-1 Neighborhood Commercial. To the south, southeast and southwest of the special exception site is apartment and duplex residential development in the R-2 Medium Density Residential zone. The nearest residential unit to the proposed new WCF location is directly abutting to the south southwest, approximately 60 feet from the actual monopalm location. Land Use Policies: Policy is provided by the Cragin-Keeling Area Plan (CKAP) and the General Plan. Cragin-Keeling Area Plan (CKAP): The main goal of the CKAP is to encourage new non-residential development and redevelopment that is cohesive and integrated with adjacent non-residential uses while preserving and enhancing the existing residential character of the area. Non-residential Policy 2 supports a mix of non-residential and higher density residential uses along arterial streets as shown on the Land Use Map when proposed development is compatibly designed with adjacent less intense uses. General Design Guideline 1 calls for appropriate design elements and buffering techniques to mitigate the potential negative impacts of more intense development on established neighborhoods. General Plan: Element 2 (Land Use) Policy 3 supports the protection of established residential neighborhoods by supporting compatible development, which may include appropriate nonresidential uses. Supporting Policy 3.9 supports nonresidential uses, where the scale and intensity of uses will be compatible with adjacent uses. Policy 5 supports appropriate locations for commercial uses, with priority for redevelopment in the existing urbanized area. Supporting Policy 5.5 encourages the redevelopment and/or expansion of current strip commercial development that will improve traffic flow, pedestrian mobility and safety, and streetscape quality when: 1) the project stabilizes and enhances the transition edge when adjacent to existing and future residential uses; and, 4) screening and buffering of adjacent residential properties can be provided on site. Element 4 (Community Character and Design), Policy 3.7 requires that, if possible, telecommunications facilities be located, installed and maintained to minimize visual impacts and preserve views. Visual impacts are key consideration during the review process. Policy 4.6 promotes the coordination of efforts of government, private developers and utility firms to improve the appearance of above-ground utilities and structures. Policy 5 promotes neighborhood identity and visual character. Supporting Policy 5.3 supports redevelopment projects that reflect sensitivity to site and neighborhood conditions. Action 5.5A 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. Policy 6 promotes quality in design for all development. Supporting Policy 6.1 promotes an environmentally sensitive design that protects the integrity of existing neighborhoods, complements adjacent land uses, and enhances the overall function and visual quality of the street, adjacent properties, and the community. Analysis: This a special exception request to allow for the installation of a Wireless Communication Facility (WCF) in the form of a stealth 65 foot monopalm with ground equipment and masonry screen walls in an existing shopping center at the southwest corner of Campbell Avenue and Ft. Lowell Road. The stealth monopalm is proposed at a height of 65 feet and will be visible from the surrounding residential neighborhood, through there are Tucson Electric Power Poles and other trees (including palms) in the surrounding area that will help this stealth feature to blend into the existing vertical environment. The proposed Special Exception is consistent with General Plan and Cragin-Keeling Area Plan (CKAP) policy direction because the proposed WCF has a monopalm stealth design with appropriate mitigation features and will help improve telecom services to the existing residential units and businesses in the area. Recommendation: The request for special exception is consistent with policy direction provided by the General Plan and Cragin-Keeling Area Plan (CKAP). Staff offers the following design mitigation measures for consideration as part of the rezoning process. 1. Any existing trees or landscaping disturbed during construction of this Wireless Communication Facility (WFC) to be replaced in accordance with the UDC and heat island mitigation; · GP, Element 4, Policy 3.7 & Policy 4.6, Policy 6.1 · CKAP, General Design Guideline 1 2.
