EXPLANATION:
DEPARTMENT: :pi
APPROVED BY:
The project site is Sweetwater Heights Park, which is located on the south side of Cagle Street, near its
terminus at Plaza Bonita Center Way, in the Open Space zone. There are three existing wireless facilities
located on two artificial trees at the park — a palm and a pine. The applicant proposes to install 45-foot tall
artificial pine tree and a 408 square -foot, partially underground equipment shelter. The tree would be located
near to the artificial palm, with the equipment shelter tucked into the east corner of the park.
Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on March 3, 2014. Commissioners expressed concerns
regarding the footprint of the facility, the already existing cell towers, and the use of public park space for
private use. The Planning Commission voted to deny the Conditional Use Permit based on findings
contained in the attached Resolution, which was adopted on March 17, 2014.
The attached Planning Commission staff report describes the proposal in detail.
