(Z -6609-A) FISCAL IMPACT RECOMMENDATION CITIZEN PARTICIPATION BACKGROUND Action Required I Submitted By 4Ordinance Resolution Approval Information Report Cy Carney City Managt This request is coming to the Board to ask for a waiver of new landscaping requirements for a Wireless Communication Facility (WCF) located at 1429 Merrill Drive due to the lack of space, and the nature and the location of this particular site. The property is zoned C-3, General Commercial. I None Passage of the ordinance approving the waiver. I None. Cricket Communications, Inc., one of the cell phone service providers in this area, is continuing their system build -out to provide service. Their plan is to collocate where ever possible. Cricket is proposing to collocate on this existing 80 foot Telecorp WCF tower. The final height of the new antenna would be 83 feet. Equipment cabinets would be added near the tower base. The applicant cannot meet the new landscaping requirements at this collocation site, but would install the required 8 foot high wooden screening fence. BACKGROUND CONTINUE The existing Wireless Communication Facility originally was approved on Dec 28, 1998 with a 150 foot high tower through administrative Staff approval under the ordinance requirements at that time. Now additional landscaping and screening requirements exist which must be met at the time of collocation or by January 20, 2001. The applicant exceeds all siting requirements except for the new landscaping. For this particular site, the applicant is requesting a waiver of the landscaping requirements on all four sides due to the existing surrounding pavement, closeness of the nearby building, and the surrounding uses. This existing leased area is bordered on the north by asphalt and the Power House Gym building, to the east and south by a paved parking area, and to the west by an 11 foot grass area and then the property line. There physically isn't room for six feet of landscaping on the north, south and east sides due to the surrounding pavement and closeness of the building. The west side contains an underground utility easement and so planting trees and shrubs is prohibited. A 6 foot wood fence currently exists around the entire lease area. It would need to be raised to the required 8 feet. To install landscaping around this site would require digging up existing asphalt and putting in dirt, eliminating needed parking, and it would provide minimal benefit based on the nature of the surrounding area. The site is behind the large Power House Gym building in an area which is all paved with asphalt. The surrounding uses consist of commercial and office buildings. The zoning is C- 3 to the east and west, C-4 to the north, and 0-3 to the south. This site is in the rear of all those facilities and the area is used for parking. Staff believes that added landscaping would eliminate needed parking spaces and provide little benefit. The added antenna and equipment would all be on or within the existing WCF and would probably hardly be noticed. Staff believes the waiver request for the landscaping on all four sides is justified. The 8 foot wood fence should provide adequate screening and not eliminate any more parking. I 2 ORDINANCE NO. 18,429 3 AN ORDINANCE TO GRANT CRICKET COMMUNICATIONS A 4 WAIVER OF THE REQUIREMENTS TO COMPLY AT THIS TIME 5 WITH CERTAIN LANDSCAPE AND SCREENING PROVISIONS 6 OF LITTLE ROCK, ARK. ORDINANCE NO. 18,173 (DECEMBER 7 20, 1999) FOR TWO (2) WIRELESS COMMUNICATION TOWERS 8 IN EXISTENCE ON THE DATE OF THE ORDINANCE; TO SET 9 CERTAIN CONDITIONS FOR THESE SITES; TO DECLARE AN 10 EMERGENCY; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. 11 12 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors passed certain standards for landscaping and 13 buffering of wireless communication facilities (the "WCF") in Little Rock, Ark., 14 Ordinance No. 18,173 (December 20, 1999), as may be amended ("LRO 18,173"), 15 which were to apply to all future applications for WCF permits, and 16 WHEREAS, Section 2(c)(6) included a requirement that WCFs in existence on 17 the date of the ordinance, but not in compliance with the provisions of the ordinance, 18 were required to come into compliance within a two year period of time unless the 19 Board granted a waiver, or a deferral, of the various provisions, and 20 WHEREAS, Cricket Communications has applied for waivers of two sites it 21 desires to co -locate its facilities on towers which were in existence when LRO 18,173 22 was passed, and 23 WHEREAS, as set forth below, the Board believes the requests are appropriate 24 under the current circumstances. 25 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF 26 DIRECTORS OF THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS: 27 SECTION 1. The following WCF permits are granted waivers of strict 28 compliance with the landscaping or screening and buffering provisions, or both as set 29 forth below, of LRO 18,173 as follows: I (A) 8126 Scott Hamilton Drive. Because this site is within and behind 2 a large office and industrial warehouse building in an area which is all 3 paved with asphalt and surrounded by industrial zoning and uses, and the 4 fact that applicant will install a screening fence on two sides of the site, the 5 following waiver from strict compliance with LRO 18,173, under the 6 current circumstances, is granted: 7 (1) Landscaping requirements on all four sides of the structure 8 are waived. 9 (2) Screening requirements on the north and east sides of the 10 structure are waived. 11 For these reasons, strict compliance with LRO 18,173 is waived until such time 12 as a major change in circumstances make it necessary to impose landscaping or 13 screening requirements in order to meet the goals set forth in the ordinance. 14 (B) 1429 Merrill Drive. Because the existing WCF tower at this location is 15 within an area zoned C-3, Commercial, and is bordered on the north by asphalt 16 parking lot and a commercial building, on the east and south by paved parking 17 area, and on the west by a narrow strip of ground between the site and the 18 property line, and because the applicant will construct an 8 foot wood screening 19 fence around the site, as well as meeting all other siting requirements, the 20 following waiver from strict compliance with LRO 18,173, under the current 21 circumstances, is granted: 22 (1) Landscaping requirements on all four sides of the structure 23 are waived. 24 For this reason, strict compliance with LRO 18,173 is waived until such time as 25 a major change in circumstances make it necessary to impose landscaping or screening 26 requirements in order to meet the goals set forth in the ordinance. 27 FA:3 -2- I , Section 1. Findings. 2 (A) The Board declares that the general landscaping and screening provisions of 3 LRO 18,173 should be met whenever possible, particularly in residential areas, but that 4 strict compliance for WCF tower permits granted prior to the effective date LRO 18,173 5 is not always appropriate under existing circumstances. For example, it may not be 6 possible to purchase or lease additional property around the existing WCF site to meet 7 the landscape and buffer requirements. Or, while the applicant is willing to fulfill the 8 City's stated preference of tower collocation, it is unable to do so and meet landscaping 9 requirements because a particular WCF tower is located in an area that, regardless of 10 its zoning classification, is really commercial or industrial in nature, and not only would 11 landscaping be of minimal value, it might in fact draw attention to the tower location 12 and invite theft, vandalism, and be in derogation of the goals and purposes of LRO 13 18,173. 14 (B) Under such circumstances, and others not set forth herein, it is appropriate 15 to grant waivers from the strict requirements of LRO 18,173, provided that if in the 16 future a major change in circumstances occurs, the City may modify the waivers granted 17 to any subsection of this ordinance in accordance with Subsection (C) below. 18 (C) For purposes of this ordinance, "a major change in circumstance" means 19 that the area within 200 feet of the boundaries of the WCF tower site has developed to 20 the point that there is a virtually unobstructed view of the tower from any adjoining 21 residences located in an area zoned R-1, R-2; or R-3, and 22 (1) (a) The City has received a complaint from the 23 owner of such a residence located within 200 24 feet of the tower site that the site has no 25 landscaping or screening in place; and 26 (b) The City has requested that the parties resolve 27 the issue by agreeing to certain screening or 28 landscaping requirements consistent with LRO -3- 1 , 18,173, which can be granted administratively 2 by the Director of Planning and Development, 3 but no agreement has been reached. 4 Once a year, for any matters impacted by this provision, the Board will 5 receive a report from the Department of Planning and Development, to be 6 made a part of the Board records on file with the City Clerk, which 7 identifies the tower sites that have previously received waivers but, 8 pursuant to this provision or any similar applicable provisions, has been 9 the subject of modifications. In addition, these modifications shall be 10 noted on the City's geographic information system map; OR 11 (2) The tower site permittee has leased sufficient 12 additional space to meet the landscaping setback, setback 13 and screening requirements or LRO 18,173, subject to any 14 right of review set forth in that ordinance, as may be 15 amended. 16 (D) Pursuant to the provisions of subsection (C) above, before any modification 17 of a waiver is required, the City shall demonstrate that a major change in circumstances 18 from the date of the original permit grant, or from the date of any waiver or deferral, has 19 occurred. 20 Section 3. Severability. In the event any section, subsection, subdivision, 21 paragraph, item, sentence, clause, phrase, or word of this ordinance is declared or 22 adjudged to be invalid or unconstitutional, such declaration or adjudication shall not 23 affect the remaining portions of the ordinance which shall remain in full force and effect 24 as if the portion so declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional was not originally 25 a part of the ordinance. 26 Section 4. Repealer. All laws, ordinances, resolutions, or parts of the same, that 27 are inconsistent with the provisions of this ordinance are hereby repealed to the extent 28 of such inconsistency. M 1, 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 Section 5. Emergency. The City appreciate the fact that the federal government has taken steps to encourage the advancement of telecommunications technology, and understands that it is incumbent upon the City to encourage additional carriers to enter into the telecommunications field and to be able to have some certainty about the requirements and conditions for tower permits 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.

Dear Mr. Connell, Cricket Communications, Inc. (Cricket) is one of several telecommunications companies licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to provide wireless communications services within Pulaski County, Arkansas. Cricket is constructing its wireless network within Pulaski County and has contracted with our company, SiteExcell, LLC, to provide real estate site acquisition services. In granting the license to Cricket, the FCC mandates that Cricket provide adequate wireless coverage to the public. In order to do this, Cricket must construct a network of wireless communications facilities throughout the Pulaski County metropolitan area. Because Cricket is so sensitive to community concerns, it has attempted (whenever criteria allows) to target existing structures or to select sites that have a minimal impact on surrounding properties. The above referenced property is zoned C-2 with a monopole belonging to Telecorp Realty, LLC already in place. Cricket will sublease a small portion of Telecorp's leased parcel for their equipment cabinet. Cricket has filed the attached Wireless Communication Facility (WCF) Application to grant them the ability to collocate on this tower. As per the application, Cricket antennas will not exceed 83'. This monopole is located behind Jim Bottin's Fitness Center in the parking lot. The compound is surrounded by an 8' wooden privacy fence. All of the surrounding land uses are commercial. It is for these reasons that Cricket would like to request a landscape waiver from the Board of Directors at the February 6th public hearing. Cricket and SiteExcell, LLC respectfully request that your office approve this application which will allow Cricket to provide adequate service to its customers as required by its license from the FCC and to better serve the community as a whole.
