Attachment # 1
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF FILE NO. PLN 2002-60
SITE ADDRESS: 1901 South Bascom Avenue
APPLICANT: Aetherframe, LLC.
DATE: June 12, 2002
Findings for Approval of a Site and Architectural Permit to allow the installation of a wireless
telecommunications facility.
The Community Development Director finds as follows with regard to File No. PLN 2002-60:
1. Wireless telecommunications facilities are permitted in the C-2-O Zoning District
subject to the approval of a Site and Architectural Permit.
2. The equipment will be enclosed within the existing office building and penthouse
with the exception of cables and antennas installed in a stealth manner.
3. The six antennas will be placed vertically on the lower portion of the safety railing
and painted to match the railing.
4. The location of the antennas attached to an existing railing is a preferred location
and mounting technique under the Wireless Telecommunications Facilities
Ordinance.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Community Development Director further finds
and concludes that:
The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the use will not be detrimental to
the public health, safety, peace, morals, comfort or general welfare of persons
residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use, or be detrimental or
injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood or to the general
welfare of the City.
The proposed site is of adequate shape and size to accommodate the screening,
landscaping, and other features required in order to integrate the wireless
telecommunications facility with uses in the surrounding area.
The establishment will not significantly disturb the peace and enjoyment of the
nearby neighborhood.
There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the
Conditions of Approval and the impacts of the project.
