| 03/19/2013 | JOHN BEALL | COMMUNITY PLANNING | REVIEW | Completed | PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT SE-13-26 IPC AT&T -22nd Street Special Exception C-1 Arroyo Chico Area Plan (ACAP) and General Plan 3/19/13 rjh Background: This is a Special Exception request for a use in the C-1 (neighborhood commercial) zone to allow a 65 foot wireless communication facility in the form of a stealth monopalm and an associated ground equipment area. The site is at 3004 22nd Street approximately 480 feet west of the intersection of 22nd Street and Country Club Road. Maintenance to the wireless communication facility could be provided from the adjacent 23rd Street. According to the Major Streets and Routes Plan, 22nd Street is designated an arterial street and 23rd Street is designated as a local street. Surrounding Zoning and Land Use: The proposed special exception site is located in a vacant area in the back of a commercial area at 3004 22nd Street developed with a strip commercial shopping center in the C-1 (neighborhood commercial) zone. To the west is a strip commercial use in the C-2 (community commercial) zone and a single-family residential lot in the R-1 (single-family residential) zone; to the north of the shopping center across 22nd Street is a single-family subdivision developed in O-3 (office) zone and C-1 (neighborhood commercial) zone, and convenience market developed in the C-1 (neighborhood commercial) zone; to the east is the continuation of the shopping center zoned C-1 (neighborhood commercial) zone; to the south across 23rd Street is a single-family subdivision developed in the R-1 (single-family residential) zone. The closest single-family residential use is located directly to the south across 23rd Street approximately 200 feet, though the lot adjacent to the west is zoned for R-1 (single-family residential) use. Rezoning Presubmittal Meeting: The applicant attended rezoning presubmittal conference meeting on October 3, 2013. Neighborhood Meeting: Three neighborhood meetings were held for this site. The final neighborhood meeting and meeting of record was held on February 11, 2013. The sign-in sheet shows representatives for the Special Exception request were present at the meeting and one interested citizen. Though the WCF location had been moved further north on the site, the citizen in attendance continued to express his prior concerns. Land Use Policies: The General Plan and the Arroyo Chico Area Plan (ACAP) provide policy direction for this site. Arroyo Chico Area Plan (ACAP): The commercial policy section of the ACAP provides the following policy direction for this site. Commercial Policy 1 Commercial uses should be located at appropriate locations in the area. Commercial Policy 1.A. A. Require appropriate design elements (screening, landscaping, setbacks, height restrictions, screened or covered storage, shielded or directed lighting, etc.) during the rezoning and development review process when locating commercial uses in proximity to established neighborhoods. Development Along Major Streets Policy 1 Encourage new and redeveloped uses along major streets. Policy 1.A. Mitigate the impacts of major streets on the proposed development through appropriate design elements, such as setbacks, berms, walls, and vegetation; 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 encourages 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. Plan Compliance and Recommendation: The proposed WCF will provide a higher level of coverage to the proposed service area. Due to the proposed 65 foot height, the monopalm will be visible from surrounding residential areas. The monopalm stealth design will mitigate visual impacts and the ground level equipment will be screened from adjacent properties. There are some desert trees and palm trees in the general area, though the vertical heights of these trees are not complementary to the monopalm. To further diminish the visual impact of the proposed monopalm, the applicant has proposed that a cluster of palm trees will be planted as part of the proposed monopalm design. The request for a Special Exception on site designated for WCF use is consistent with policy direction because a higher level of service will provided and appropriate mitigation features have been proposed to mitigate the impacts of the new facility. A plan amendment is not required. Staff recommends that the Special Exception application be distributed for further process. 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 65 feet in height; · Cladding shall not be painted on, cladding panels must be painted light/shade cameo-provide color sample; · Monopalm shall include crown, pineapple, and cladding of pole from pineapple to ground surface; · Monopalm fronds must vary in length 7'-10' and be placed to extend above, below and between antennas; · Frond colors shall be close to living palms colors; provide color sample; and, · Ground equipment to be screened with a textured masonry wall painted with a color complementary to other structures found in the shopping center and located as shown on preliminary development plan. · Additional palm trees shall be planted on the site to complement the proposed monopalm.
