Recommendation and Review
Consider a request from 865 East LLC with representative Stephen Waller, agent for Verizon, for a special use permit to allow a concealed wireless telecommunications facility in the R-5, High Density Residential District. A concealed wireless telecommunications facility is defined as “[a]ny wireless telecommunications facility that is integrated as an architectural feature of an existing structure or any new support structure designed so that the purpose of the facility or support structure for providing wireless telecommunications services is not readily apparent to a casual observer. Examples include but are not limited to: bell towers, clock towers, faux trees, flag poles, minarets, monuments, parapets, religious symbols, smoke stacks, steeples, or structures intended as art.” The subject property is located at 865 Port Republic Road. Planning Commission recommended to approve the special use permit per Section 10-3-55.4 (8) of the Zoning Ordinance with the condition listed below. The specified special use permit is further regulated by Article CC and, among other requirements, must meet the height, setback, screening or camouflaging, and lighting requirements within Section 10-3-196 (2) (a.) of the Zoning Ordinance. The 5.47 +/- acre site is zoned R-5C, High Density Residential District Conditional and is identified as tax map parcel 92-F-1.
