| 05/22/2015 | MPADILL1 | COMMUNITY PLANNING | REVIEW | Completed | PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT SE-15-25 Verizon - Lakeside Parkway Plan Tucson and South Pantano Area Plan 5/18/15 MSP This proposal is for a special exception use in the C-2 commercial zone to allow a 65 foot tall wireless communication facility designed as a stealth palm tree. The new stealth monopalm WCF will include a 20' X 40' lease area to be enclosed with associated ground equipment. The proposed special exception site will be within the Lakeside Business Park, Lot 7, and undeveloped lot with an administrative address of 8031 E. Lakeside Parkway and contains 0.84-acres. The special exception site is located approximately seven hundred and fifty (750) feet south of Golf Links Road and six hundred and thirty (630) feet east of Pantano Road. The WCF ground equipment lease area (20' X 40') will be enclosed by a twelve (12) foot tall masonry wall, except along the north perimeter where it abuts and existing twelve foot tall commercial building located on the adjacent parcel to the north. The monopalm will be located within the proposed lease area. Proposed masonry wall to match in material, texture, and color with existing wall along the north perimeter of ground equipment lease area. A primary vehicular access easement of twelve feet wide will be provided to allow maintenance to the wireless communication facility from Lakeside Parkway using an existing street curb cut and entry way into lot 7. According to the Major Streets and Routes Plan, Lakeside Parkway is designated as a local street. Surrounding Uses/Zoning: Adjacent land uses and zoning surrounding the special exception site are the following: to the east, south, west, and north are parcels zoned C-2 commercial and developed with a range of commercial developments, to the north is an office and retail complex, to the east is are undeveloped lots, to the south across Lakeside Business Park is a two and three story multi-family high density residential development with over one hundred residential units, and to the west across Lakeside Business Park is zoned C-2 developed with a personal self-storage facility and a Unisource Energy Corporation substation. The nearest residential unit to the proposed stealth monopalm location is approximately 240 feet to the north. Other high-density residential units are located approximately 300 feet to the south across Lakeside Business Park. Rezoning Presubmittal Meeting: The applicant attended a presubmittal conference meeting on March 25, 2015. Meeting discussions included discussion of how to better mitigate visual impact on surrounding development. The applicant presented a stealth design and ground equipment within a 12 foot tall masonry wall enclosure. Neighborhood Meeting: The applicant has held three neighborhood meetings, on April 8, 2012. Applicant has provided the required neighborhood meeting material: mailing notification, copy of labels, notice letter, meeting summary, and sign-in sheet. Other than the applicant, representing the owner, there were no others in attendance. Applicant stayed one hour to establish the public neighborhood meeting. Land Use Policies: Policy direction is provided by Plan Tucson (PT) and the South Pantano Area Plan. South Pantano Area Plan: Commercial Policy 1. Promote commercial development at appropriate locations in the area. Commercial Policy 1.B Require appropriate design elements (fences, walls, vegetation, etc) during rezoning and development review process when locating commercial uses in proximity to residential neighborhoods. Subarea 3, Proposed Uses, supports commercial development using land with existing commercial zones. Plan Tucson: More direct Policy is provided by Plan Tucson. The monopalm WCF is to be located within an "Existing Neighborhoods," area as identified by Plan Tucson. An Existing Neighborhoods category is primarily developed and largely built-out neighborhoods and commercial districts in which minimal new development and redevelopment is expected. The goal is to maintain the character of these neighborhoods, while accommodating some new development and redevelopment and encouraging reinvestment and new services and amenities that contribute further to neighborhood stability. In particular to wireless communication facility, Plan Tucson provides direction and support in Chapter 3 - The Built Environment, under Guidelines LT28.1.2, LT28.1.3 which state telecommunication facilities be installed and maintained to minimize visual impact and preserve views and to improve the appearance of above ground utilities and structures and extend access to high-tech wireless communication facilities throughout the city. Visual impacts are a key consideration during the review process. Analysis: The special exception request is to consider a 65' tall wireless communication facility in stealth monopalm design and ground equipment within a lease area of 20' X 40.' Site for the proposed WCF is located at 8030 E. Lakeside Business Park (administrative address). The proposed site is lot 7 within the Lakeside Business Park and contains 0.84-acres. The ground level equipment lease area is proposed to be screened by a twelve foot tall masonry wall. A commercial complex with office and retail land uses abuts the proposed WCF site along the north perimeter of the site. The rear façade of the adjacent commercial complex being twelve feet tall will create the north enclosure for the WCF lease area site. The nearest residential unit is approximately two hundred and forty (240) feet to the north from the proposed WCF and ground equipment lease area. The proposed monopalm at a height of 65 feet will be visible from surrounding areas. Staff supports the monopalm stealth design. Staff suggests the ground equipment masonry wall enclosure match in color, texture, and finish to match masonry wall of area (adjacent to the north) commercial buildings. A stealth design helps mitigate and disguise the WCF. There are live palm trees within the surrounding commercial and high density residential developments. Staff supports the WCF to include a small cluster of live palm trees to mitigate visual impacts. Plan policy supports compatibility and visual impacts and noise mitigation are expected to be minimized through site design of the WCF and to be addressed in the Design Compatibility Report (DCR). The proposal is consistent with the land use plan policies, and does not require a plan amendment. S:/UPDfiles/DevRev/caserev/SP-Excpt/SE 15/SE-15-25 Verizon - Lakeside Parkway.doc |
