6320 EVERGREEN WAY VERIZON WIRELESS ANTENNA 2019-09-05

Conclusion: This standard does not apply. (5) All utility and communication facilities shall be installed underground or within structures to the greatest extent practical in order to maximize safety and minimize visual and noise impacts upon surrounding properties. When it is not practical to install underground or within structures, all utility and communications facilities shall be architecturally designed and screened so as to minimize visual impacts on and promote compatibility with surrounding properties. Findings: The electrical cabinet is proposed to be located within a masonry wall structure on grade on the backside of the building. Conclusion: The ground mounted electrical cabinet will be screened from view. (6) Above ground utility and communications facilities shall be designed so as to be the lowest height possible to adequately serve the needs of the public for the proposed utility or communications service. The review authority, in considering the proposed utility or communications facility, may allow antenna or tower height to exceed the height permitted in the underlying zone without having to satisfy the variance approval criteria of Section 19.41.130.0 of this title. Approval may only be granted if it can be demonstrated that such height is necessary to adequately serve the needs of the public for the proposed utility or communications service. The applicant shall provide an evaluation of alternative designs and locations which could result in a Iower tower or antenna height. Findings: The Applicant states that the antennas will be installed at the lowest point possible. The proposed architectural screen is under the maximum height permitted for the zone. Conclusion: This standard has been met. (7) Towers associated with above ground utility and communication facilities and all ancillary structures shall comply with the setback standards of the zone in which the property is located; provided, that when allowed to be located in or within two hundred feet of residential zones, the height of any tower shall not exceed the horizontal distance between the base of the tower and the nearest residential property line. The review authority, in considering the proposed utility or communications facility, may allow a lesser setback, without having to satisfy the variance approval criteria of Section 19.41.130.0 of this title, if it can be demonstrated that a lesser setback is necessary to adequately serve the needs of the public for the proposed utility or communications service, or that a lesser setback will result in better screening than in a location which meets the setbacks required herein. Findings: The proposed wireless communication antennas will be located on an existing building's rooftop not on a tower. Conclusion: This standard does not apply. (8) The above ground utility or communications facility shall_be removed from the site should the use for such purposes be discontinued for one hundred twenty days or more. The planning director shall have the discretion, upon the request of the owner SPU 16-010 age5of --)
