29 (A) The Board declares that the general landscaping and screening provisions of LRO 18,173
30 should be met whenever possible, particularly in residential areas, but that strict compliance for
31 WCF tower permits granted prior to the effective date LRO 18,173 is not always appropriate under
32 existing circumstances. For example, it may not be possible to purchase or lease additional property
33 around the existing WCF site to meet the landscape and buffer requirements. Or, while the
34 applicant is willing to fulfill the City's stated preference of tower collocation, it is unable to do so and
(Page 6 of 8]
I meet landscaping requirements because a particular WCF tower is located 'in an area that, regardless
2 of its zoning classification, is really commercial or industrial in nature, and not only would
3 landscaping be of minimal value, it might in fact draw attention to the tower location and invite
4 theft, vandalism, and be 'in derogation of the goals and purposes of LRO 18,173.
5 (B) Under such circumstances, and others not set forth herein, it is appropriate to grant a
6 waiver from the strict requirements of LRO 18,173, provided that if in the future a major*changQ in
7 circumstances occurs, the City may modify the waivers granted herein in accordance with
8 Subsection (C) below.
9 (C) For purposes of this ordinance, "a major change in circumstance" means that the.
10 area within 200 feet of the boundaries of the WCF tower site has developed to the point that there is
11 a virtually unobstructed view of the tower from any adjoining residences located in an area zoned R-
12 1, R-2, or R-3; AND
13 (a) The City has received a complaint
14 from the owner of such a residence located
15 within 200 feet of the tower site that the site
16 has no landscaping or screening in place; and
17 (b) The City has requested that the parties
18 resolve the issue by agreeing to certain
19 screening or landscaping requirements
20 consistent with LRO 18,173, which can be
21 granted administratively by the Director of
22 Planning and Development, but no agreement
23 has been reached; or
24 (2) The tower site permittee has leased sufficient
25 additional space to meet the landscaping, setback and
26 screening requirements or LRO 18,173, subject to any right of
27 review set forth in that ordinance, as may be amended.
28 (D) Once a year, for any matters impacted by this provision, the Board will receive a
29 report from the Department of Planning and Development, to be made a part of the records on file
30 with the City Clerk, which identifies the tower sites that have previously received waivers but,
31 pursuant to fl-iis provision or any similar applicable provisions, has been the subject of modification.
32 In addition, these modifications shall be noted on the City's geographic information system map.

Section 13. Emergency- The City appreciates the fact that the federal government has taken

within the City. Such development is essential to protect the public health, safety and welfare. An
emergency is, therefore, declared to exist, and this ordinance shall be in full force and effect from
and after the date of its passage.

SYNOPSIS
SpectraSite Communications, [tic., owner of certain existing
Wireless Communication Facilities (WCF) previously owned by
Southwestern Bell Mobile Communications, is requesting a
waiver of the Landscaping and Screening requirements of Section
36-593(c) for a WCF located at 7400 Loretto Lane due to the
nature and location of this particular site. The property is zoned
R-2, Single Family.
FISCAL IMPACT
None
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of the Ordinance granting the waiver.
CITIZEN
All owners of property located within 200 feet of the site were
PARTICIPATION
notified of the September 6, 1994 Planning Commission hearing at
which a the Conditional Use Permit request to allow the 250 foot
tall tower was considered. No additional citizen notification has
been documented or required since that time. The Town Country
Estates Neighborhood Association and SWLR United for Progress
have been notified of this request.
BACKGROUND
On December 20, 1999, the Little Rock Board of Directors passed
Ordinance No. 18,173, which amended Section 36-593 and
created new landscaping and screening standards for Wireless
Communication facilities. All existing WCF were to be
landscaped and screened to meet the standards within two (2)
years of December 20, 1999. The standards include the
requirement of an eight (8) foot tall opaque fence to be constructed
around the primary use area and a six (6) foot wide landscape strip
It V k I
BACKGROUND to be placed around the primary use area, outside of the opaque
CONTINUED fence. Waivers or deferrals of the standards may only be granted
by the Board of Directors.
SpectraSite Communications, Inc. has acquired several WCF that
were constructed by and previously owned by Southwestern Bell
Mobile Communications. These sites were constructed prior to
the new landscaping and screening standards. SpectraSite is now
requesting a waiver of the standards for these existing sites.
The SpectraSite Communications, Inc. site located at 7400 Loretto
Lane is comprised of a 250 foot tall, self-supporting, lattice tower
and an equipment shelter within a 75 foot by 75 foot lease area.
The lease area is enclosed by a 6 foot tall chain-link fence. A
larger area around the lease area has been cleared and is itself
enclosed by an 8 foot tall chain-link fence. The site is within a 10
acre tract located on the west side of Loretto Lane, north of
Mabelvale Pike. The property north, south and west of the lease
area is undeveloped and heavily wooded. Hindman Park is
located north of the site. One single family residence is located to
the southeast, across Loretto Lane.
The tower site was approved by the Planning Commission on
September 6, 1994.
The applicant is requesting a waiver of the landscaping
requirement on all four sides and on the screening requirement on
the north, south and west sides. An 8 foot tall, wood privacy fence
will be installed along the east perimeter to screen the site from
Loretto Lane. Due to the nature and location of this site, staff is
supportive of the requested waiver. Loretto Lane is a dead-end
street, endingjust past this site. The 75 foot by 75 foot lease area
is within a larger, 10 acre tract. The larger tract extends north,
south and west of the lease area. Those areas of the parent tract
around the lease area are undeveloped and heavily wooded.
Additional, heavily wooded property, including Hindman Park, is
located further to the north. One, single-family residence is
located on the east side of Loretto Lane, approximately 400 feet
southeast of the WCF site. The dense tree line provides screening
from all sides other than directly at the front of the WCF site. The
proposed 8 foot tal I wood privacy fence wil I screen the small
portion of the WCF lease area that might be visible from the single
family residential property. The WCF site is located some 75 feet
off of Loretto Lane, within a larger area that is itself enclosed by
an 8 foot tall, chain-link fence. No purpose will be served by
requiring the landscaping around the site or by requiring screening
on any side other than on the east perimeter.

SUBJECT: LORETTO LANE SPECTRASITEWIRELESS
COMMUNICATION FACILITY
DATE: NOVEMBER 30, 2001
The staff of the Department of Planning and Development conducted further review
of the SpectraSite Wireless Communication Facility (WCF) located at 7400 Loretto
Lane. A concern was voiced at the November 27, 2001 Board Agenda meeting that
the site might be visible to residents living on "Wrape Street".
The site was restudied from all angles, including from two un -named, private streets
west of the site. It is still staff s opinion that the base of the WCF site is not visible
from any residential properties other than from the one home located on the east side
of Loretto Lane, south of the WCF. Consequently, staff is recommending screening
only across the Loretto Lane perimeter of the WCF. The property north, south and
west of the WCF is undeveloped and heavily wooded. The tower itself is visible
from some distance.
If you have questions or need additional information, please call.
