6. The number, size and location of signs, especially as they relate to more sensitive land uses. Findina: The applicant will not install any signs unless required by the FCC or the FAA. Conclusion: All signage must be reviewa.d and approved by the Everet� Planning Department. 7. The landscaping, buffering and screening of buildings, parking, loading ana storage areas, especially as they relate to more sensitive land uses. Fi�din�i; The ground equipment area is already screened from public view due to careful siting in an �xi:�ting ground leased area approximately 15' behind AT&T's current ground lease area. The expansion will be installed in the same manner, so the new equipment will not increase the visibility of the ground equipment. The antennas will be located on an existing utility pole and utilize the same installation design as the existing antennas on the existing utility pole. There are no new parking or loading areas planned and no additional storage. The entire facility is a passive use, and �vill nct impact adjacent uses. Conclusion: The site presently contains indigenous piants as required by the city to help screen the equipment. The existing landscaping and native vegetation will provide a continuous screen of the facility. 8. The generation of nuisance irritants such as noise, smoke, dust, odor, glare, visuai blight or other undesirable impacts. Findin : No odors, dust, glare, smoke will be generated. Visual impact will be minimal. There will be antennas located on an existing utility pole and will bfend with the current antennas. The top poriion of the pole will be visible from a few surrounding roads and residences. Some noise will emit from the site a s a �esult of air conditioning units��thin the radio equipment, however, this noise will be below ihe City of EveretYs Noise Threshold. Conclusion: The project will not generate any nuisance irritants such as noise, smoke, dust, odor, glare, visual blight. 9. Cnnsistency with the goals and policies of the Everett General Plan for the area and land use designation in which the properly is loaated. Findin : The proposed construction is a modification to a co-location on an existing site. Co- locaiions minimize ihe need for new sites, which are much more invasive to the community than a co-location on an existing structure. The code specifically states that installation or co-location of anlennas on existing or replacement towers or structures shall be preferred unless the proponent can demonstrate that a new structure is necessary to adequately serve the needs of the public. Conciusion: The use is consistent with the General Plan and the Everett Municipal Code. Within residential zones,wireless facilities are an allowed use, subject io siting guidelines found under EMC 41.15�.0.1.b and the granting of a permit under Type II process (due to location in a residential zone.) 3 � �--
