SPU SPECIFIC EVALUATION CRITERIA: Subsection 41.150.D.1.c of the Zoning Code - Special property use Permits - contains specific evaluation Criteria for Above Ground Utility and Communication Facilities. Many of these criteria are intended to address new or expanded utility structure (i.e., monopoles) and are not applicable to the instant application. The following are `Findings' and 'Conclusions' relative to the Specific Evaluation Criteria All utility and Communications facilities shall be designed, landscaped, or otherwise screened to ensure compatibility with surrounding properties. Finding: The Applicant's design complies with the screening and landscaping requirements for major utility and communications facilities to be landscaped and/or screened to insure compatibility with surrounding properties. 2. Antennas associated with above ground utility of communication facilities shall be located on existing or replacement towers or structures to the maximum extent technically feasible to discourage the proliferation of tower structures. Finding: The proposal is to add antennas to an existing wireless communications utility pole. When proposed to be located on an existing or replacement utility or communications structure or other non-residential structure in a residential zone, Review Process II shall be required. 3. Tower structures for above ground utility and/or communications facilities shall not be located in or within 300 feet of residentially zones areas. Finding: No tower structure is being proposed or modified. 4. When tower structures for above -ground utility andlor communications facilities are proposed to be located within 300 feet of residentially zoned areas, in or within 200 feet of gateway corridors as designated by the Everett Comprehensive Plan, or in or within 200 feet or areas under the jurisdiction of the Shoreline Master Program, zones which otherwise require Review Process II shall use Review Process III. Finding: No tower structure is being proposed or modified. 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. Finding: This is a co -location project and the applicant is proposing to replace/upgrade wireless antennas on an existing PUD utility pole. All required landscaping currently exists on site for the ground equipment per the Everett Municipal Code. 6. Above ground and communications facilities shall be designed so as to be lowest h-,ight possible to adequately serve the needs of the public for the proposed utility of communication service. Findin No height increase to the existing utility pole is proposed.
