8. There would be no adverse traffic impacts generated by the proposal. The <br />facility is unmanned, and the only generation of traffic would be approximately <br />one vehicle trip per month for maintenance purposes. (exhibit 1) <br />9. Because the facility is unmanned, there would be no need for additional parkinc� <br />on-site. (exhibit 1) <br />10. The existing cellular tower is a 70-foot high structure located on a commercially <br />zoned property. The antennas would be approximately 60 feet above-grade or <br />ten feet below the top of the tower. The tower blends into the surrounding <br />neighborhood and appears to be a flag pole. With the flush mount of the <br />antennas, there would be a slight projection of the tower, but the appearance <br />would not be drastically changed. There should be no negative impacts to the <br />surrounding lar : uses. Notice was given to property owners in the vianity. <br />(exhibit 1) No opposition was submitted at the public hearing. <br />11. As part of the original review process, there were requirements for vegetation <br />screening the subject property. A landscape plan must be submitte.7 to the C•ity <br />for review and approval prior to issuance of building permits. The landscape plan <br />must address the screening of the site with regard to the pole and ground <br />equipment so that it does not impact neighboring properties. (exhibit 1) <br />12. During construction there would be irritants, including noise, smoke, dust, odor, <br />glare, and other impacts, but after construction these irritants would not.exist. <br />Because the proposed facility would have air conditioning units within the <br />cabinet, there is a possibility that the noise emanating from the site would create <br />irritants. Prior to occupalion, the Applicant shall provide a noise study that <br />indicates whether or not the noise standards are exceeded at the site. If the <br />noise standards are exceeded, the Applicant will be required to provide shielding. <br />(exhrbit 1, Fauver testimony, Conaxis testimony) <br />13. In the Comprehensive Plan, public facililies are projected to be sited compatible <br />with adjoining land uses. The existing pole was designed in a manner to <br />minimize potential adverse impacts on neighborhoods. The attachment of the <br />antennas flush with the pole would not significantly deter this consistency and <br />would allow for compatibility with other properties. (exhibit 1) <br />14. The proposal would comply with all provisions of the zoning code, as well a� <br />other state and federal laws. (exhibit 1) <br />15. The proposed facility is unmanned and any issues relating to public transit are <br />not applicable to this proposal. (exhibit 1) <br />16. In addition to the General Evaluation criteria, Specific Evaluation criteria must be <br />satisfied for this project. Those criteria, which are set forth in EMC <br />19.41.150.D.1.b, are as follows: <br />
