| 06/19/2019 | PMCLAUG1 | COMMUNITY PLANNING | REVIEW | Completed | Land Use Policies: The Plan Tucson, and the Arcadia - Alamo Area Plan provide land use guidance for this site. Generally, the Plans support the requested use when visual impacts, setbacks, and landscaping and buffering elements are addressed. Plan Tucson identifies this area in the Future Growth Scenario Map as an "existing neighborhoods" category. The goal is to maintain the character of these neighborhoods, while accommodating some new development and redevelopment, and new services and amenities that contribute further to neighborhood stability. Furthermore, Plan Tucson, guidelines LT28.1.2, supports telecommunication facilities to be installed and maintained to minimize visual impact and preserve views. LT28.1.3 states that WCF be designed with improved appearances of the above ground utilities and structures and extend access to high-tech wireless communication facilities throughout the city. The Arcadia - Alamo Area Plan does not have any specific policies that provide land use direction for wireless communication. However these Plans support development that protects and enhances the integrity of the neighborhood. The Arcadia - Alamo Area Plan states under General goals to identify appropriate locations for new development. Also, Non-Residential Policy 1.d; requires appropriate design elements and buffering techniques during the rezoning and associated development plan review processes to ensure sensitive design of nonresidential development adjacent to established neighborhoods. Assessment: The stealth monopine WCF is to be located northwest of the intersection of Grant Road and Wilmot Road, an arterial intersection and approximately 1800 feet west of the Wilmot Road right-of-way, and approximately 1600 feet north of the Grant Road right-of-way. The proposed WCF location is identified within an existing multi-family complex site with 21.56 acres and of irregular shape. The WCF is proposed toward the rear (north) of the existing multi-family complex and approximately sixty (60) feet from east property which abuts the Pantano Wash. WCF site has direct access onto Grant Road and provides twelve (12) foot wide access easement through the complex to the WCF enclosure. The fifty (50) foot tall stealth monopine and ground equipment will be within a 21'4" X 30' lease area, enclosed by a ten foot (10') tall masonry wall. No permanent on-site generator is proposed, but a generator plug-in for a backup portable generator is labeled on the PDP and is located just outside and on the north side of the lease area/compound wall. Staff recommends proposed any temporary/portable generator be situated within an enclosed cabinet to minimize noise impacts to on-site multi-family residential units. Applicant will need to mitigate noise impacts to on-site residential and adjacent residential development located to the west. The WCF site was rezoned (C9-77-23) and effectuated in November of 1980, to R-3. Plans support a stealth design such as the proposed monopine design, to mitigate height and soften the visual view sheds of the WCF from the Santa Catalina Mountains, and the natural open space created by the span of the Pantano Wash Corridor. Ground equipment wall enclosure is stated will match existing onsite buildings material and color theme. Staff recommends the proposed WCF should be designed to support future collocation, antennas mounted as close to the monopole and screened by the monopine stealth design. Both monopine and antennas should be painted to complement the natural range of colors on pine trees, to mitigate and minimize visual impacts. Ground equipment shelter (cabinets) and masonry wall to be textured, finished, or painted to compliment the on-site land uses. Per UDC 4.9.4.I.6.a(3) the proposal will require submittal and approval of an application for a Mayor & Council Special Exception Procedure due to the WCF not meeting a setback of two times its height from adjacent residentially zoned property. A plan amendment is not required. |
