. � <br /> SPU SPECIFIC EVALUATION CRITERIA: <br /> Subsection 41.150.D.1.c of the Zoning Code—Special prooerty use Permits—contains <br /> specific evaluation Criteria for Above Ground Utility and Communication Facilities. Many of <br /> these criteria are intended to address new or expanded utility structure (i.e., monopoles) <br /> and are not applicable to the instznt application. The following are"Firding" and <br /> "Conclusions" relative to the Specific Evaluation Criteria: <br /> 1. All utility and Communications fscilities shail be designed, landscaped, or <br /> otherwise screened to ensure compatibility with surrounding properties. <br /> Findinqs: The applicant is adding antennas to a replacement PUD utility pole which is at <br /> the lowest height possible to provide services to the surrounding network. <br /> 2. Antennas associated with above ground utility of communication facilities shall be <br /> located on existing or replacement towers or structures to the ma:cimum extent <br /> technically feasible to discourage the proliferation of tower structures. <br /> Findinqs: The antennas will be located on a PUD utility pole, thus eliminating the need to <br /> build a new cellular communications tower. <br /> 3. Tower structures for above ground utility and/or communications facilities shall not <br /> be located in orwithin 300 feet of residentially zones areas. <br /> Findinqs: This is an existing communications facility and the applicant is proposing to <br /> locate antennas on a replacement PUD utility pole. <br /> 4. When tower structures for above-ground utilirr and/or communications facilities are <br /> proposed to be located within 300 feet of residentially zoned areas, in or within 200 <br /> feet of gateway corridors as designated by the Everett Comprehensive Plan, or in or <br /> within 200 feet or areas under the jurisdiction of the Shoreline Master Program, <br /> zones which otherwise require Review Process II shall use Review Process III. <br /> Pindinas: This is an existing communications facility. <br /> 5. All utility and communication facilities shall be installed underyround orwithin <br /> structures to the greatest extent practical in order to maximize safery and minimize <br /> visual and noise impacts upon surrounding properties. <br /> Findinqs: N/A <br /> 6. Above ground and communications facilities shall be designed so as to be lowest <br /> height possible to adequately serve the needs of the public for the proposed utility <br /> of communication service. <br /> Findinqs: The antennas will be located at the lowest height necessary to serve the <br /> communications needs of the public. <br /> � <br />
