City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for July 8, 2015 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2015\PC 15-014 - Verizon Wireless CUP - 2 Pine Tree Drive\Memos_Reports_15-014 Page 5 of 6 Conditional Use Permit Evaluation Criteria: 9. The proposed plan would not have any impact on traffic or parking conditions. 10. 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. 11. The proposed plan will not impact drainage. 12. The proposed plan will not impact population density. 13. The proposed antennas will likely only be visible from locations on the property and they are not anticipated to have an impact on land use compatibility with uses and structures on surrounding land or adjoining land values. 14. Park dedications are not applicable. 15. The proposed plan does not conflict with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Code or the Comprehensive Development Plan for the City. Staff Recommendation Staff anticipates that the proposed antennas will likely only be visible from locations on the property itself and not from residential properties to the east and south. The site is fairly wooded and has a rolling topography, which will provide screening of the antenna installation. Additionally, the equipment will be painted to match the color of the structure to which they will be attached further reducing their visibility. The proposed antennas are not expected to present any conflicts with land uses in the vicinity. Based on the submitted plans and findings of fact, staff recommends approval of Planning Case 15-014 for a Conditional Use Permit at 2 Pine Tree Drive. If the Planning Commission recommends approval of this request, staff is recommending the following four (4) conditions be included with the approval: 1. The project shall be completed in accordance with the plans submitted as amended by the conditions of approval. Any significant changes to these plans, as determined by the City Planner, shall require review and approval by the Planning Commission and City Council. 2. A building permit shall be obtained for all proposed antennas and associate equipment prior to installation. 3. A Conditional Use Permit drafted by the City Attorney shall be signed by the applicant and the property owner prior to the issuance of any building permits. 4. The antennas and equipment shall be painted to match the color of the structure to which they are attached.
