SEPA Determination with conditions 2 Staff Report to the L97 -0055 Planning Commission Western Wireless/Lewis & Clark Theater FINDINGS Vicinity /Site Information Project Description The applicant is requesting Conditional Use Permit approval to install a Personal Communication Services (PCS) base station, comprised of a 100 footmonopole ;supporting anJ I 'array'containing three antenna sectors with three panel antennas in each sector for a total iof nme:antenriae. Each antennae will measure approximately 5 feet in height, 8 inches in width fci ar,,lee-and 3 inches deep. The ground equipment and monopole will be located in a 15 foot by 35 foot fenced area. Ground cabinets will be used for processing signals, to transfer power from utilities to operate radio equipment and for increased capacity. A back -up gas - powered generator will also be provided. The ground equipment cabinets will be approximately 52 inches high, 32 inches in depth and 7 feet 7 inches long. They cabinets will be located on a 150 square foot concrete pad. Attachment A is the site plan for the proposed development and Attachment B is the enlarged site plan and elevations. Existing Development The building site is located in the parking area of the Lewis and Clark Theater. Surrounding Land Uses The site and surrounding area are zoned Regional Commercial (RC). BACKGROUND 0 u•* "1 This, area of the RC. zone also has a Building Height Exceptions overlay, under TMC 18.50.030, allowing: development of up to ten (10) stories: As there is no building code standard to determine the height of a story for monopoles, staff determined that the proposed 100 foot height for the monopole is within the 10 story height limitation based on allowed construction types in the RC zone. CONDITIONAL USE CRITERIA The proposed project must conform with criteria detailed in TMC 18.64.050, (1 -5), concerning Conditional Use Permits: 3 Staff Report to the L97 -0055 Planning Commission Western Wireless /Lewis & Clark Theater (1) The proposed use will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vlciniry of the proposed use or in the district in which the subject property is located. . Pr The applicant has included computer generated photographs (Attachment C) showing the a ° "V proposed location of the monopole and antennae in relation to the site, as well as view of the P project from surrounding parcels. However, these photos do not include proposed equipment cabinets or surrounding fenced area. The project is adjacent to and partially screened from SR 51.8 by.mature coniferous trees and a large billboard. <.The'applicant has indicated to staff that a 100 foot monopole is required to help complete their •� network for this area, established by previous Conditional Use Permit approvals for this carrier at theCenterplex (L97- 0061), Bonsai Northwest (L97 -0050) and Econolodge (L97 -0045) buildings. The applicant has also indicated that a reduction in the height of the monopole may reduce the ability to provide co- location for other providers and may require additional monopoles in this area brought by Western Wireless and other carriers along SR 518.. The proposed antennae and related equipment are telecommunications equipment that fall within the safety parameters set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). All operating equipment will be enclosed by a locked and gated enclosure. .0 fr' r 10.0N (2) The proposed use shall meet or exceed the performance standards that are required in the district it will occupy. As referenced, staff has determined, for the purposes of this application only, that the 100 foot, monopole is within the 10 story maximum pursuant to the building height exception area in TMC 18.50. The project meets the. 10 foot setback requirement for this zone. No other development standards apply to this project. (3) The proposed development shall be compatible generally with the sarroundirrg land uses in terms of traffic and pedestrian circulation, building and site design. As with similar uses, the PCS system will generate trips during the construction period and, following the completion of construction, up to 1 trip per month for maintenance, No impacts to pedestrian or transportation movements are anticipated. The facility is sited at the rear of the parcel away from other development. The proposed project is adjacent to and on an existing parking area and will be partially screened by a existing fauna and an existing billboard. The applicant has proposed enclosing the operating equipment area in a locked enclosure. (4) The proposed use shall be in keeping with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan This project must comply with the following Comprehensive Plan policies and meet Zoning Code regulations. 12.1.34. Actively coordinate project implementation with individual utilities based upon Tukwila's Comprehensive Plan and development regulations.

Encourage utilities to consolidate facilities and minimize visual impacts of facilities where technically feasible. Implementation strategies for this policy include the use of shared infrastructure and use of existing structures. No other carrier is currently proposed for the monopole. As indicated in the SEPA determination for the project (Attachment D), the applicant is required to design the, . monopole and supporting infrastructure to accommodate at least one extra telephone provider. To minimize visual impacts associated with this project, the applicant has located the development in a corner of the existing parking area, adjacent to an existing billboard and to existing mature trees. The area surrounding the ground equipment will have a fence. 5) All measures have been taken to minimize fire possible adverse impacts which the proposed use may have on the area in which it is located. The applicant has proposed the location of the monopole at the outside corner of the parking area at an existing commercial use. This location minimizes pedestrian and traffic impacts of the development. The existing vegetative screen and proposed fence equipped with wooden privacy slats will mitigate adverse visual impacts of the project. The project was also reviewed under Geezrl.ry SEPA. (t)(kO' eg CONCLUSIONS The Planning Commission, pursuant to Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) Section 18.108.040, hereby makes the following findings and conclusions under the city's Conditional Use Permit criteria (TMC 18.64.050) (1) The proposed use will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare... Potentially hazardous operating equipment is inaccessible to the public. The associated technology is within federal safety guidelines. The antennae will be placed in an area away from existing development. Reduced height of the monopole may result in additional monopoles due to lack of co- location opportunity and coverage requirements in SR 518 corridor. The project will be screened by existing vegetation and proposed fencing. (2) The proposed criteria shall meet or exceed the performance standards... The project in within height limitations in the RC zone. There are no other applicable standards for the project. z w ac 2: ,U.0' U O. • w=, J �.

The proposed use will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity of the proposed use or in the district in which the subject property is situated. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the public welfare. Actually, wireless communications have shown to be very beneficial in times of emergency. All materials used will be of the highest quality available for construction. Due to careful siting and the relative physical size of this installation, it will have very little impact on properties in the vicinity. z • F- w_ ; •o 0; Na • w= J � co u_ According to the Consumer Electronics Manufactures Association (1996) the most important w 0 reasons customers cited for purchasing a wireless phone were as follows: 2 Able to communicate in an emergency 46% g n Be more available away from home or office 28% v P.

Western Wireless will operate its system, per the license, within all applicable Federal safety standards. 2. The proposed use shall meet or exceed the performance standards that are required in the district it will occupy. The proposed use will meet all applicable performance standards. The one - hundred foot (100') height is requested pursuant to TMC Section 18.50.030 Special height exception areas, which allows heights up to ten (10) stories. All work will be completed by properly licensed local contractors, who are familiar with local codes and standards. 3. The proposed development shall be compatible generally with the surrounding land uses in terms of traffic and pedestrian circulation, building and site plan. The proposed facility on this commercially zoned property will be compatible with surrounding land uses, would create minimal vehicular traffic, and no additional pedestrian traffic. Access to the site will be achieved using existing roadways such as Pacific Highway South. Minimal traffic would be generated during construction. After construction is complete, there would be approximately one visit per month to the unstaffed facility for routine maintenance. The unstaffed site will not generate any pedestrian traffic. The monopole and antennas will be painted a non - glare color to complement the existing building. The ground mounted radio equipment will be adequately screened. Western Wireless Corporation, SE3511 a Econolodge • 4. The proposed use shall be keeping with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan. The proposed use is intended to provide wireless communications services for the citizens and businesses of Tukwila. This proposal is harmonious with the Comprehensive Plan's intent to Encourage utilities to consolidate facilities and minimize visual impacts of facilities where technically feasible. Section 12.1.36. As a matter of company policy Western Wireless always seeks to collocate our antenna on existing infrastructure first. That is not possible in this case. However, Western is proposing to build a collocatable structure and we will entertain request from all interested parties. The slender monopole design proposed will minimize the visual impact of the site to the greatest extent possible. 5. All measures shall be taken to minimize the possible adverse impacts which the proposed use may have on the area in which it is located. Western has taken every step possible to minimize any adverse impacts of the proposed use. The antenna facility is proposed on the northern portion of the Lewis and Clark Theater parking lot. The proposed site is more than nine hundred feet (900') from the nearest residence. The site chosen is surrounded on two of three sides by existing trees approximately thirty feet (30') in height. An opaque fence will be placed immediately around the facility. Additionally, the slender monopole and antenna array will be painted a non -glare color to further minimize any adverse impacts. A list of any permits or decisions applicable to the development process that have been obtained prior to filing this application, or that are pending before the City or any other governmental entity.

Western proposes to install three (3) antenna arrays atop a one - hundred foot (100') monopole. The required radio support equipment will be located at the base of the pole and screened from adjacent views. Greater detail of the proposal may be reviewed in the attached site plan. The location of this site is ideal because it allows digital wireless coverage for the citizens of Tukwila in the immediate area, as well as major thoroughfares; Pacific Highway South and State Road 518. The area consist of commercial uses along the highway, backed by residential properties. Western has gone to great extremes to create a site that has the lowest possible impact on the neighborhood. Views from adjoining land uses would be minimally obstructed, if at all. Below is the information required for submittal of a Conditional Use Permit: 1. Master Application (12 copies) 2. Site Plan and Building Elevations (12 copies) 3. Landscaping Plan - Western Wireless asks for a waiver of this requirement.
