DISCUSSION <br />The Original Proposal <br />The proposed location for a wireless telecommunication facility is ideal for cellular coverage. <br />The height of the existing tower would allow only 25% of the coverage that T- Mobile wishes to <br />provide in the area due to impacted line -of- sight. As such, a design review application was <br />submitted in July 2007 to increase the height of the existing tower by nearly 11 feet, bringing the <br />existing tower to a new height of 46' -9 The proposed location would provide full coverage <br />and capacity. <br />In consideration of the site's high visibility and its gateway location to the City, staff did not <br />support the originally proposed tower height increase because it would add unnecessary <br />emphasis on the southeast corner of the building, be out of scale, and not complement to the <br />Mission/Spanish Revival style. <br />The Revised Plan Approved by the Zoning Administrator <br />o.0 1111 ...1.c0,,..,11.11 <br />The revised proposal dated "Received August 25, 2008" was a result of several discussions with <br />Planning staff and the Director of Planning and Community Development. This plan shows a <br />redesigned tower that has a less dominant visual presence and is in better proportion with the <br />existing building. <br />PAP 126 (PDRW 6) Planning Commission <br />Page 3 of 6 <br />
