FINDINGS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE USE PERMIT PA-2300248 PONDA ROCHA LAND CO LP/SAC WIRELESS 1. The proposed use is consistent with the goals, policies, standards, and maps of the General Plan, any applicable Master Plan, Special Purpose Plan, Specific Plan, and Planned Development zone; and any other applicable plan adopted by the County. • This finding can be made because the proposed Telecommunications Tower and ancillary equipment may be conditionally permitted in the AG-40 (General Agriculture, 40-acre minimum) zone with an approved Administrative Use Permit application. The project site has a General Plan designation of A/G (Agriculture General), and the AG-40 zone is an implementing zone for this designation.Therefore,the proposed Telecommunication Tower is consistent with the goals, policies, standards and maps of the General Plan, and there are no Master Plans, Specific Plans, and/or Special Purpose Plans in the project vicinity. 2. Adequate utilities, roadway improvements, sanitation, water supply, drainage, and other necessary facilities have been provided, and the proposed improvements are properly related to existing and proposed roadways. • This finding can be made because there are no new utility or roadway improvements required. A Telecommunications Tower is an unmanned facility and will not impact existing public utilities. This project will not require the use of public water, or a septic system and all storm water will be retained on site. The proposed project will be accessed from Lone Tree Road. The Department of Public Works has provided Conditions of Approval that will ensure the proposed use is adequately served by highways and streets. There may be a slight increase in road traffic during the construction of the tower, but the facility is unmanned and will only require periodic maintenance visits after its construction. 3. The site is physically suitable for the type of development and for the intensity of development. • This finding can be made because the 333.13-acre project site is of adequate size to accommodate the proposed use and the Site Plan shows that all setbacks, and other requirements of the Development Title can be met. According to the Federal Aviation Administration section§77.9,the only time the construction or alteration of a tower requires notice, is when it has an above ground level (AGL) measurement over 200 feet at its site. According to the Federal Communications Commission section § 1.61, there is no absolute limit for the height of antenna towers. However, the erection of an antenna structure exceeding 1, 000 feet in height must be accompanied by a statement from the Federal Aviation Administration that the proposed structure will not constitute a menace to air navigation.The proposed communication tower will not exceed 105 feet, which is below the height where a statement is needed for the Federal Aviation Administration. 4. The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use will be compatible with and will not adversely affect the livability or appropriate development of abutting properties and the surrounding neighborhood. • This finding can be made because the proposed Telecommunications Tower encompasses a small area and is exempt from environmental review.The proposed project is a compatible use in the AG-40 zone and is not anticipated to adversely affect the livability or appropriate development of abutting properties and the surrounding neighborhood. 5. The proposed use will not create any nuisances arising from the emission of odor, dust, gas, noise, vibration, smoke, heat, or glare at a level exceeding ambient conditions. PA-2300248— Findings 1
