This moratorium is set to expire on March 8, 1997. The Planning Commission held a special session on October 23, 1996 to discuss this topic at which meeting industry • representatives were present to give short presentations and to answer questions. Staff presented the Commission with a draft ordinance for review on December 4, 1996, which generated additional comments and suggestions. These changes have been incorporated into a revised draft ordinance. Recommendation Staff recommends that the Planning Commission review the attached revised draft of the wireless telecommunications ordinance and make suggestions and or comments as to its content and provisions. If the Planning Commission considers the ordinance acceptable, staff recommends ordinance to the City Council. Analysis A number of changes have been made to the proposed ordinance. Any language that has been added since the December 4, 1996 meeting is shaded. Some language has been deleted as a result of the that meeting and suggestions made by City Attorney Bob Long. Format for Section on Districts Allowing Telecommunications Facilities: The revised ordinance places the text in section 1126.03, Subd. 2 relating to conditional uses into a table that • enhances readability and comprehension. Planning Commission Planning Case No. SP-001-96: Telecommunications Ordinance December 12, 1996 • Page 2 Accessory Buildings: Also in Section 1126.03, Subd. 2, the requirement for CUPs for accessory buildings in the PF and CRP districts was deleted. In a subsequent section of the ordinance, text was added that amends the PF and CRP districts to allow accessory equipment structures only when associated with a CWTS tower and/or antenna as a permitted accessory use. Also regarding accessory equipment structures, text was added to the co-location requirements section that addresses how new buildings would be treated in relation to existing buildings. Landscaping& Screening: Added to the ordinance is a section that makes explicit the landscaping and screening requirements. Basically, a tree-screen of evergreens and ornamental deciduous trees is required to be planted around the fence so that at least 50% of the accessory structure and/or tower base is screened from view. Because some sites may not need landscaping either because existing foliage is sufficient or because the site might be in the middle of an industrial site parking lot, the screening and landscaping requirement can be waived. Procedural Requirements: The other major change to the ordinance from its previous version is the addition of a list of submittal requirements for CUPs, similar to what had been listed under building permit requirements. Those requirements were moved under the CUP heading because the information would be needed in order to approve a CUP. If no CUP is required, then the same information would be required to be submitted with the building permit application. Also in • the procedural section, a clarification was made to the proof of insurance requirement and an abandoned tower clause was added. Co-location: We have removed the requirement for a"letter of intent" which would have required all new towers to allow for co-location. This change was primarily made due to legal considerations. The provision would not be workable anyway, because it was the Planning Commission's desire that an applicant have a signed leased agreement, or other such document, for the second user before they received the height bonus for co-location. If the applicant had a lease in hand, a letter of intent is not necessary. The other changes are minor and can be addressed during the Planning Commission meeting on December 18, 1996, if the Commissioners have any questions.
