BACKGROUND
Site characteristics
The project site is located at the northeast corner of East 18th Street and Euclid Avenue.
The property is developed with a 2,800 square -foot retail commercial building and a 21-
space parking lot. The building has two suites, one of which is a Laundromat, the other
currently vacant. There is an existing wireless facility on the same property. This facility
was approved in 2002 and is comprised of three parking lot lights with antennas
incorporated into the support poles. The commercial property is flanked by former
residentiai-zoned properties (since rezoned to mixed use). Ali adjacent residential
buildings are single story in nature (approximately 10-15 feet high).
Proiect proposal
The applicant proposes a new wireless telecommunications facility with a 40-foot tall,
artificial broadleaf tree that includes 12 panel antennas and a microwave dish. The
facility proposes two separate enclosures, one for the telecommunications equipment
(217 square -foot prefabricated enclosure) and one for a backup generator (194 square -
foot concrete block enclosure). The facility is proposed in the rear of the parking lot,
approximately seven feet from the east property line. No landscaping or irrigation is
proposed.
Analysis
The proposal is generally a good example of a stealth facility, consistent with City
policy. The antennas are proposed to project approximately three feet from the tree
trunk but will be obscured by the branches and leaves. Wiring between the tree and
shelter would be placed underground. The generator enclosure is proposed to be
painted concrete block, consistent with the concrete building on site. However, the
equipment shelter is proposed as a prefabricated unit. This is not consistent with City
policy, which requires standard construction for equipment shelters. A Condition of
Approval has been added to require a design consistent with the generator enclosure
and the commercial building (No. 13). If the structures are not consistent with nearby
development, the facility would have an adverse aesthetic effect upon the subject
property, as well as adjacent or abutting properties, since it would not blend in
appropriately.
The proposed equipment shelters are roughly 17 feet by 11 feet (telecom equipment)
and 15 feet square (generator) respectively. Both structures are around 10 feet high.
Given the footprint of the facility, it would need to be located on the east side of lot in
order to avoid the removal of too many parking spaces. The proposed design would
remove four spaces. A 2,800 square -foot commercial building requires at least 12
spaces; removing four spaces would leave 17, in excess of what is required.
There are two different fences at the east property line, a six -toot chain link fence on
the north portion of the boundary and a four -foot tall lattice fence to the south. The
north and south property lines in this location have six-foot tall wood fences. As a result
of the tall equipment enclosures involved, the height may appear looming from adjacent
properties. In order to soften the impact of such large structures, it would be appropriate
to have a taller and less opaque fencing material constructed. A Condition of Approval
(No. 14) has been added to require a minimum six-foot tall fence or wall along the east
property line to obscure the facility. In addition, the condition includes a caveat that a
block wall may be required in the future should noise from operating equipment become
an issue. Without additional fencing, the height and bulk of the facility could potentially
affect surrounding uses (e.g., light, air, circulation). However, the facility is set back seven
feet from the property line, which would soften the aesthetic impact somewhat.
To be further consistent with City policy, co -location with existing facilities was
researched. Based on the `search ring', the applicant has stated that there was no
ability to locate on the existing facility, but was able to locate the proposed facility
adjacent to an existing facility on the same site. One other site (Bible Baptist Church at
2432 East 18th Street) was also considered, but was ultimately not viable due to site
constraints.
The facility would provide coverage to the north, south, and east. Based on the
attached Coverage Map, the area currently has limited or weak service. With the
proposed antenna height (32 feet to the center of the antenna) being above all buildings
adjacent to the area, the antennas would have clear reception and transmission in
those directions. As previously stated, nearby land uses in these directions are single-
family residential in nature. However, it should be mentioned that, per the 1996
Telecommunications Act, "no State or local government or instrumentality thereof may
regulate the placement, construction, and modification of personal wireless service
facilities on the basis of the environmental effects of radio frequency emissions to the
extent that such facilities comply with the Commission's regulations concerning such
emissions."
If approved by a local jurisdiction, a!! wireless communications facilities must obtain all
required state and federal permits in order to operate. A Condition of Approval (No. 11)
is included requiring these permits. The facility is expected to generate only one to two
vehicle trips per month for maintenance staff and is unlikely to have any impacts on
local traffic patterns.
Comments were received from the Building and Fire Departments and require
compliance with current and new 2014 codes. Standard Conditions of Approval for
wireless facilities are also included, requiring compliance with local, state, and federal
codes, and that any external equipment is painted to match the surface on which it is
mounted.
Summary
The proposed project is consistent with the Land Use Code in that it meets all
applicable design requirements for wireless communication facilities based on
compliance with added Conditions of Approval (design, fencing). The project is
considered `stealth' and would generally blend in with existing facilities and nearby
development (as conditioned). if approved, conditions will ensure that the facility does
not have an adverse impact on adjacent properties caused by the scale and bulk of the
project, and would ensure consistency between existing and proposed structures. The
new facility will help to provide coverage in an area with limited service and provide
additional reception for Verizon Wireless customers.

RECOMMENDED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL
2013-25 CUP — 2415 East 18th Street
1. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape. since the facility,
including the faux broadleaf tree and equipment shelters, can be accommodated
on the 0.23 acre site without reducing parking beyond the minimum requirement.
2. That the site has sufficient access to streets and highways that are adequate in
width and pavement type to carry the volume and type of traffic generated by the
proposed use, since the unmanned wireless communications facility requires only
one to two visits each month for routine maintenance, which will have a negligible
effect on the adjacent developed streets.
3. That the proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting
properties, since the 40-foot faux broadleaf tree will adequately screen the twelve
panel antennas, and since additional fencing will provide adequate screening of
the equipment shelter from adjacent properties.
4. That the proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public
convenience and welfare, since it will improve the performance of the Verizon
Wireless communications network, resulting in enhanced service for its customers.
RECOMMENDED FINDINGS FOR DENIAL
2013-25 CUP — 2415 East 18th Street
1 That the site for the proposed use is not adequate in size and shape, since the lot
can only accommodate the facility adjacent to the property line, where the height
and bulk of the facility would affect surrounding uses.
2. That the proposed use will have an adverse aesthetic effect upon adjacent or
abutting properties, since it will not blend in appropriately with surrounding
development.
