Finding: The WCF will be unmanned. The facility will generate one monthly vehicle trip for periodic maintenance. Public Works has not requested a traffic mitigation fee. Conclusion: There will be no adverse traffic impacts generated by the proposed use. 4. The provision of adequate off-street parking,on-site circulation,and site access. Finding: One off-street parking space once a month is needed for the proposed WCF. The proposed WCF equipment will be placed within the parking lot of the church located at 4634 Alger. Approximately 51 off-street parking spaces are required for the church. The WCF will remove about two of these spaces. Conclusion: Although part of the parking lot is unstriped, there appears to be more than 53 off- street parking spaces available for the church. There is adequate off-street parking and site access to serve the WCF. 5. Compatibility of proposed structures and improvements with surrounding properties, including the size, height, location, setback and arrangement of all proposed buildings and facilities, especially as they relate to light and shadow impacts on more sensitive land uses and less intensive zones. Finding: The new 100-foot tall, wood pole will replace a 39.6-foot tall wood pole. At the top of the pole will be six antennas approximately one-foot wide by seven feet tall. The antennas will be brown to blend in with the pole. Coax cable will extend from the base of the pole up to the antennas. The WCF's equipment compound will be screened with an eight-foot tall solid cedar fence. The pole is within the R-1, Single Family Low Density, zone. The height limit is 28 feet. Chapter 41.150.D.b.(6) allows the maximum height allowed by the R-1 zone to be exceeded without a variance if the applicant can demonstrate that such height is necessary to adequately serve the needs of the public. The applicant has submitted RF plot maps which document the need for a WCF at this location. Conclusion: The utility pole will be similar to other utility poles in the area. The equipment compound will have no light or shadow impacts on nearby properties. 6. The number,size and location of signs,especially as they relate to more sensitive land uses. Finding: Sign Category D applies. Conclusion:No signs are proposed. 7. The landscaping, buffering and screening of buildings, parking, loading and storage areas, especially as they relate to more sensitive land uses. 2
