( . SPU SP�CITIC EVALUATION CRIT�RIA: The following findines and conclusions are based on the criteria established in Section 41.150.D.1.b. of the Zoning Code - Special Property Use Permits - Evaluation Criteria for Above Ground Utility and Communication Facilities: P'indinas: (1) Please refer to findings under Criteria No's 5 and 7 above regarding landscaping and screening of the proposed facility. The antennas shall be painted to match the color of the existing building exterior. (2) The proposed antennas would be located on a building rooftop and would not require the construction of a new support tower. The Zoning Code encourages use of existing or replacement structures, as opposed to installation of new support suvctures; (3) The project site is located in a B-2 zone and is within 200 feet of a gateway corridor (Lvergreen Way). The applicant indicated that other sites have been considered for locating the proposed antennas. These sites included: 1) replacement power pole at a Snohomish County PUD substation; 2) an existing communications tower to the east of the proposed facility. With regard to the first site, tlie Ciry was not supportive due to its location within a residential zone. Regarding the second si[e, the Applicant determined that coverage objectives for this site would not have been met. Coverage analysis maps were provided as part of the application. (4) This criterion is applicaUle to new tower structures. The instant proposal is to use an existing building. (5) This criterion is applicable to ground-mounted utility strucmres. The proposed equipment cabinet would be located on the �vest side of the ex�sung building, away from Evergreen Way. It would be screened from the street view by a fenced enclosure (G) The proposed antennas,would px[end to a height of approxima[ely 12 fee[ above the rooftop of the building and 3 feet above the top of the parapet wall, which would be about the same height as the existing antennas. The maximum building height in the B-2 zone is 35 feet, although antennas and building appurtenances are allowed ro exceed this limit. The highest point of [he antennas would be approximately 38'7" above ground level. (7) The ground-mounted equipment would comply with the setback standards in the zoning code. Note: there aze no required side and rear setbacks in the B-2 zone. (8) The provider will be required to notify the City in the event that the facility is abandoned for a period of more than 120 days. (9) The proposal is classified as a major above-ground utility structure and is therefore not exempt from the Special Property Use permit review process. (10) This criterion allows the City to require that facilities be designed to accommodate more than one wireless service provider at a given site. The subject site already contains avo existing �,vireless facilities and the proposed facility would be the third. The use of the existing building allows for shared tacilities and eliminates the need for a freestanding tower. (11) Not applicable--these types of faci]ities normally do not require safety lights for the FAA. �S
