The tower is sited in such a manner that the setbacks 111 of 300' cannot be met (setbacks equal tower height). Consitency with the Comprehensive Plan The City's Comprehensive Plan does not specifically locate tower locations within the plan. It does, however, acknowledge that rezonings to the Antenna Overlay district are appropriate to protect the health and safety of the general public. The request, therefore, is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. Conditional Use Permit: Allow Construction of 20' x 35' Building Analysis Under the Antenna Overlay District requirements, towers and support equipment are conditional use permits. The applicant is proposing to remove two existing structures (8' x 8' and 8' x 16') and replace them with a structure measuring 20' x 35'. Also proposed is a new security fence for the perimeter surrounding the support structure. Setbacks • The proposed structure meets the setback requirements of the district. Parking and Access No changes to the current access drive or turn around/parking area is proposed. The site is only accessed when equipment maintenance is necessary. Building Materials The building will be constructed of masonary materials, either rock face concrete block or concrete panels with a rock/pebble finish. The roof will be gable in style and covered in standing seam metal. The ends of the gables will be covered with aluminum siding. The materials meet the requirements of the zoning code. The building should meet the requirements of the building code and the City Building Official. Recommendation Zone Change The request for a zone change to Antenna Overlay district meets the three criteria established in the ordinance. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission • recommend approval of the request, ZC 99-5 to the City Council.
