CITY STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PROJECT RECEIVED BY THE
CITY ON 1/16/26 AND WE OFFER THE FOLLOWING STIPULATIONS. THESE

Planning Review
1. Provide proposed monopole exhibits that have been signed and sealed by appropriate
licensed professional(s). The applicant has indicated that professionally sealed
plans will be provided at permit stage.
2. The proposed monopole does not allow for additional providers which is a requirement
under Ord. 480, Section 45.7.d.2.b. The applicant has requested a variance to the
co-location requirement.
3. Provide a detailed landscape plan. Under the Zoning Ordinance No. 480, Section
45.7.d.8, the proposed tower facility is located on property that abuts residential property
to the west and north. A landscape buffer of plant materials around the facility is
Resolution No. 26-006
required. Since the facility is approximately 388 feet from the nearest residential property
line, the applicant is requesting relief from this requirement. The applicant has
requested a variance to the landscaping requirement.
4. Under Zoning Ordinance No. 480, Section 45.7.d.7.c, the tower facility must be located
such that if the structure should fall along its longest dimension, it will remain within the
property boundaries and avoid a habitable structure, public streets utilities and other
communication towers. The proposed tower facility compound area and screen wall is
situated approximately 10 feet from the proposed property line and the tower will be
approximately 40 feet from the boundary line. As such, the proposed 115-foot-tall
monopole tower facility will not be located in such a manner that if the structure should
fall along its longest dimension, it will remain within the property boundaries and avoid
adjacent structures. The applicant has requested a variance setback requirement.
Tree Conservation/Landscape Review
1. On the Concept Drawing the is a Project Staging Area designated where existing
protected trees are located. If the area is to be used for staging for future construction, a
Tree Protection Permit is required, and all tree protection measures must be installed
and inspected.
