| 02/28/2018 | PMCLAUG1 | COMMUNITY PLANNING | REVIEW | Completed | Background: This request is for a Zoning Examiner Special Exception to allow a wireless telecommunications facility to be installed at 2230 N. Country Club Road. The applicant, Matt Dorris, for Sun State Towers, is proposing to install a 50-foot tall stealth wireless communications tower and an equipment enclosure area. Both the tower and the equipment area will be surrounded by an 8-foot tall block wall within leased areas on a ~1.4-acre property just east of Country Club Road. According to the submitted site plan, the tower will be installed approximately 190 feet east of Country Club Road and 500 feet south of Grant Rd. Both Grant and Country Club Roads are classified as arterial roadways on the City of Tucson Major Streets and Routes Plan map. Grant Road has a planned right-of-way of 120 feet, and Country Club Road has a planned right-of-way of 100 feet, according to the MS&R Plan map. The request for a 50-foot tall stealth tower will require approval as a Zoning Examiner Special Exception in accordance with the use-specific standards for wireless communications facilities in commercial zones set forth in the Unified Development Code Section 4.9.4. Surrounding Zoning and Land uses: The subject property is located on the east side of N. Country Club Road, approximately 300 feet south of Grant Road. The property is zoned C-1 and the uses on the site are retail commercial. Property east of the proposed Special Exception is zoned R-2 and R-3 and is the site of a radio antenna tower and multi-family housing. The properties to the north of the project site are zoned C-1 and R-2 and are the location of commercial retail and single family housing. West of the subject property is a parcel zoned C-1 and used as commercial retail property. The properties to the south are zoned C-1 and R-2, and have neighborhood commercial and multi-family residential uses located on the properties. Land Use Policies: Policy direction is provided by Plan Tucson (PT) and the Grant-Alvernon Area Plan (GAAP). Plan Tucson- (PT), Plan Tucson supports policy that utilizes the Future Growth Scenario Map as a guide for determining the general location of development opportunities, development patterns, land use and transportation concepts, while also considering area and site specific issues. The project site is located in an area identified on the PT Future Growth Scenario Map as an existing neighborhood. Existing neighborhoods are primarily developed and largely built-out residential neighborhoods and commercial districts in which minimal new development and redevelopment is expected in the next several decades. 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. PT policy supports the improving the appearance of above-ground utilities and structures and extending access to high-tech wireless communications facilities throughout the city. Grant-Alvernon Area Plan- (GAAP), The purpose of the Grant-Alvernon Area Plan is to provide land use policy direction and design guidelines for development within the Plan boundaries. The GAAP discourages wireless communication antenna arrays unless concealed, disguised, or collocated on existing buildings or structures. General design principles for new development in the Plan area shall be designed in such a manner that is compatible with existing adjacent land uses. Assessment: The applicant proposes to develop a wireless communications facility on a parcel located on the east side of Country Club Road, approximately 500 feet south of Grant Road, with a 50-foot tall stealth monoelm and a 408-square-foot masonry equipment enclosure. The base of the monoelm will be surrounded by an 8' masonry wall. All cables between the tower enclosure and the equipment enclosure will be buried. The site is located within the Grant-Alvernon Area Plan area. The design principles in the GAAP state that any new development shall be compatible with existing land uses. Although residential development currently exists on properties adjacent to the subject property, the project site meets the requirements outlined in the UDC for setbacks from residential or office-zoned properties for wireless communications facilities. Conclusion: Stealth monoelm design is appropriate for the area due to the compatibility of the proposed tower with existing vegetation. Plan policy requires compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood, and visual impacts are expected to be minimized through site design of the WCF and shall be addressed in the Design Compatibility Report (DCR). A plan amendment is not required. |
| 03/05/2018 | LOREN MAKUS | ENGINEERING | REVIEW | Approved | This location is within a flood hazard area that has experienced significant flooding in recent years. All equipment and structures will need to be elevated above the regulatory flood elevation. Lease area 1 on the enclosed plan is within or adjacent to a retention/detention area. The volume of the retention basin will need to be doubled. The unpaved area around lease area 1 will need to be modified to provide water harvesting capacity and retention equal to 6 inches of depth over the entire unpaved area prior to the construction of the cellular facility. |
