5.5 The proposed monopole is comprised of galvanized steel and has the antenna located in a cylinder on the top of the pole. The monopole can be painted to blend into the site and the parking lot light would be re-installed at its former height. 5.6 No City owned property, poles or private multi-tenant poles exist in this area of the community, thus requiring Qwest to locate an appropriate site and receive approval of a CUP. The nearby Rosedale Towers (6 story) building could support additional antenna, but also requires a CUP. 5.7 A similar request was made in May of 2000 by Qwest for the Countryside Restaurant, 2851 Snelling Avenue, where a parking lot light pole was replaced with a 67 foot monopole and supportive equipment. This request was approved by the City Council. 5.8 The proposed location of the monopole and supporting equipment cabinets meet the required setback for accessory structures from a property line. 6.0 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REVIEW 6.1 Section 1013.0 1.D of the Roseville Zoning Ordinance lists the criteria reviewed when considering the issuance of a conditional use permit. The criteria are as follows: impact of parking; impact on parks, streets, and other public facilities; compatibility of site plan, internal traffic circulation, landscaping, and structures with contiguous properties; impact of the use on the market value of contiguous properties; impact on the general public health, safety, and welfare; compatibility with the City's Comprehensive Plan. 6.2 Staff has reviewed the development proposal with regard to the criteria in Section 1013.01.D of the Roseville Zoning Ordinance and concludes the following: A. The proposed monopole, antenna cylinder, and equipment cabinet will not create additional traffic nor the need for additional public facilities. B. The monopole cannot be screened due to the need of clear reception; however, it will blend slightly into its surroundings, upon being painted to match existing parking lot light poles. C. The equipment cabinets will require screening of landscaping, fence, or a combination thereof. The monopole, antenna, and equipment cabinets will not have an impact on surrounding property or values. D. There appears to be no impact on general health, safety, and public welfare. E. The project complies with the Comprehensive Plan designation (via the CUP process) as a Business use. 6.3 Conditions may be attached to the CUP that would mitigate the impact on adjacent properties including such items as increased setbacks from property lines, landscape screening, architectural color and design/materials details, drainage provisions, and limiting additional exterior storage.
