ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – April 7, 2010 6 3.B. Planning Case 09-023; Conditional Use Permit Amendment and Zoning Code Amendment; 1296 County Road F; Estate of George J. Reiling – Public Hearing (continued) 7.The current configuration of 30 antennas exceeds the number of antennas approved in the 1972 Conditional Use Permit. On the Zoning Code Amendment: 8.The proposed Zoning Code amendment would support the City’s goal of reducing the potential need for additional antennas in the City. 9.The proposed Zoning Code amendment does not conflict with the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. On the Conditional Use Permit Evaluation Criteria: 10.The proposed plan would not have any impact on traffic or parking conditions. 11.The proposed plan will not produce any permanent noise, glare, odors, vibration, smoke, dust, air pollution, heat, liquid, or solid waste, and other nuisance characteristics. 12.The proposed plan will not impact drainage. 13.The proposed plan will not impact population density. 14.The proposed plan is not expected to increase the visual impact since the tower is already in place and the additional antennas would add minimal bulk to the structure. Additional antennas or changing antenna locations should not impact the surrounding property values. 15.Park dedications are not applicable. 16.The proposed CUP amendment does not conflict with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Code or the Comprehensive Development Plan for the City.
