The Community Development Director is the final review authority. Page 2 of 2 SUMMARY: The applicant requests approval to upgrade existing wireless telecommunications equipment located on the roof of the St Regis Hotel. The proposal would replace four (4) antennas and four (4) radios. All equipment upgrades would occur in an area of the roof that currently contains wireless telecommunication equipment. Although new equipment is proposed, all proposed equipment will be confined to the existing wireless telecommunication equipment area. The proposed equipment does not extend beyond the top of the existing penthouse walls in which the equipment is mounted. All equipment will be shielded by a parapet wall or painted to camouflage the equipment. All proposed equipment complies with the applicable review criteria in the code. STAFF EVALUATION: Pursuant to Section 26.575.130, Wireless telecommunications service facilities and equipment must comply with a number of review standards. The proposed upgrades to the existing telecommunication equipment comply with all applicable review criteria of the Land Use Code. The equipment is in a view plane, but meets the exemption criteria in Section 26.435.050.D. The proposed upgrades to existing wireless equipment will continue to use an area of the roof that has traditionally been used for wireless telecommunication equipment and does not significantly increase the visual impact of said equipment. Therefore, staff finds that the proposed antennas and equipment, painted to match the existing antennas and building, meet the criteria for administrative review. Staff finds that the proposed equipment upgrades meet the criteria for approval. DECISION: The Community Development Director finds the Administrative Application for Wireless Telecommunication Equipment to be consistent with the review criteria (Exhibit B) and thereby APPROVES the request: APPROVED BY: ______________________________ Jessica Garrow Date Community Development Director Attachments: Exhibit A – Approved plans (recorded) Exhibit B – Review Criteria (not recorded) Exhibit C – Application (not recorded)
