Access to the site will be provided by an existing driveway from SE Stallings Drive, with an access drive extending to the tower compound. The lease area will be enclosed by an 8-foot chain-link security fence and includes proposed landscape screening around the perimeter. Existing vegetation surrounding the site provides natural screening and further reduces the visual impact of the proposed tower from adjacent properties. Because commercial communication towers are not permitted by right within the R-1 zoning district, a Specific Use Permit is required to evaluate the appropriateness of the proposed use at this location, including its compatibility with surrounding properties, potential visual impacts, and compliance with the applicable development standards of the Zoning Ordinance.
Adjacent Land Use & Zoning| Direction | Comprehensive Plan | Zoning | Land Use |

Compatibility.\u00A0\u00A0The specific use will be compatible with and not injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity, nor significantly diminish or impair property values within the immediate vicinity;
The tower will be located on a 40.66-acre tract in an area consisting primarily by undeveloped land and low-intensity uses. McMichael Middle School is located immediately north of the subject property, while the properties to the south and east are largely undeveloped, with the city limits bordering the site along its eastern and southern boundaries. The tower will occupy only a small leased area within the larger tract and will be accessed by an existing driveway from SE Stallings Drive. Existing vegetation surrounding portions of the property and the proposed landscape screening will help reduce visual impacts. Staff finds that the size of the property, the location of the proposed tower, and the surrounding land use pattern minimize potential impacts on adjacent properties and support compatibility with the surrounding area.
Orderly growth and development.\u00A0\u00A0The establishment of the specific use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding vacant property;
The tower will occupy a small leased area near the front of the 40.66-acre tract, leaving the remainder of the property available for future development. The surrounding area consists primarily of undeveloped land, and the proposed facility is located near the front of the property with direct access from SE Stallings Drive. The subject property's location adjacent to the city limits and the limited footprint of the proposed facility allow for continued development of the surrounding area in a manner consistent with their intended use.
Supporting Facilities.\u00A0\u00A0Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage, and other necessary supporting facilities have been or will be provided;
The proposed communications tower is a low-intensity use that requires minimal supporting infrastructure. Access to the site will be provided from SE Stallings Drive via an existing driveway, with a proposed access drive extending to the telecommunications compound. The facility will be served by the utility services necessary for its operation. The project is not anticipated to place significant demand on public infrastructure or municipal services. Any required drainage, utility extensions, and site improvements will be addressed at the time of development in accordance with applicable City standards.
Drives and Parking.\u00A0\u00A0The design, location and arrangement of all driveways and parking spaces provides for the safe and convenient movement of vehicular and pedestrian traffic without adversely affecting the public or adjacent developments;
The proposed communication tower is a low-traffic use that does not generate regular vehicular or pedestrian activity. Access to the site will be provided from SE Stallings Drive and is intended primarily for periodic maintenance vehicles.
Nuisances.\u00A0 Adequate nuisance-prevention measures have been or will be taken to prevent or control offensive odor, fumes, dust, noise and vibration;
The proposed communication tower is a low-intensity use that does not typically generate offensive odors, fumes, dust, or vibration. Operations are limited to passive equipment housed onsite, with only occasional maintenance activity.
Lighting.\u00A0 Any lighting to be provided will be directional so as not to disturb or adversely affect neighboring properties;
The owner is not proposing any additional lighting.
Landscaping.\u00A0 Sufficient landscaping and screening to ensure harmony and compatibility with adjacent property exists or will be provided;
The submitted site plan includes landscape screening around the perimeter of the telecommunications compound, and existing vegetation surrounding much of the property will provide additional natural screening. Together, these measures will help minimize the visual impact of the proposed facility and promote compatibility with the surrounding area.
