Community Development Department Pubfished October 24,2003, in the Vail Daily TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: MEMORANDUM Planning and Environmental Commission Community Development Departmenl October 27,2003 A requesl lor a conditional use permit, pursuant to Section 12-6H-3, Conditional Uses, Vail Town Gode, lo allow for a public utility and public services use, located at 501 North Frontage Road (Solar Vail Condominiums)/ Lol 8, Block 2, Vail Potato Patch 1"' Filing. Applicant: Nextel, represented by Glen KlockePlanner: Warren Camobell I. SUMMARY The applicant, Nextel, represented by Glen Klocke, is requesting a conditional use permit as outlined in Section 12-16-2, Conditional Use Permit, VailTown Code, located at 501 North Frontage Road/Lot 8, Block 2, Vail Potato Palch. The conditional use is requested to allow the applicant to replace and upgrade existing cellular equipment localed on the roof ol the Solar Vail building (Altachment A). Based upon Staff's review of the criteria in Section Vlll of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Departmenl recommends approval of this request subject to the findings and conditions noted in Section lX of this memorandum. II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST The subjecl property is zoned High Density Multiple-Family district which lists public utilities and public services as a conditional use under Section 12-6H-3, Conditional Uses, Vail Town Code. The applicant currently has an approved conditional use permit which was granted on August 28, 1995, for the OneComm Corporation which has since been bought by Nexlel. The applicant is proposing to remove all the existing equipment including the utility cabinet which is designed to resemble a chimney and the three whip antennas. In its place the applicant is proposing to install a 6-foot by 1OJoot utility cabinet on the roof with six new direclional antennas which will reduce the number of "dropped calls" within Vail on the Nextel system. In addition, a screen wall is proposed to hide the proposed cabinet from direct view in order to miligate the visual impacts. ln order to access the proposed new equipment the applicant is proposing to construct a ladder and enclosure on the rear of the building which would be accessed from the third floor walkway. A copy of the proposed plans for the replacement equipment and screen wall are attached for reference as well as photographic simulations of the proposed changes (Attachments B and C). On October 1, 2003, the applicant went before the Design Review Board for a conceptual review and which time lhe Board did not express any opposition to the proposal other than suggesting some changes to the ladder enclosure. Due to lhe proposed extent of the equipment replacement and upgrade it was determined that the existing conditional use permil would not apply to the changes and therefore a new application was required to be submitted. III. BACKGROUND o This property is zoned High Densily Multiple-Family district and was annexed into the Town by Ordinance 8 of 1969 which became effective on August 23, 1969.. On October 8, 1990, the Planning and Environmenlal Commission approved a conditional use permit for U.S. West to install satellite dishes on the east and west sides of the building which were hidden behind false chimneys on both sides running the height of the building and the construction of a mechanical building on the east side of the building. This approval allowed for the installation of the first cellular facilily on the building.. On May 11, 1992, the Planning and environmental Commission approved a conditional use permit and variances for U.S. West 10 expand its previously approved facility. The variances were granted to allow additional satellite dishes on the site and to allow for them to exceed lhe maximum height for mounting satellite dishes.. On August 28, 1995, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a conditional use permit to allow for a second cellular phone facility lo be located on the Solar Vail building roof which was operaled by OneComm Corporation. OneComm's equipment is located on the western end of the building and is now owned by Nextel. lt is this equipment Nextel is proposing to replace and upgrade.. On August 25, 1997, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a conditional use permit to allow for the installation of a third cellular facility on the Solar Vail site to Western Wireless PCS.. On October 1, 2003, the applicant, Nexlel, represented by Glen Klocke, went before the Design Review Board for conceptual review of the proposal to replace and upgrade the cellular equipment on the roof of Solar Vail. The Design Review Board was generally in supporl of the proposal and offered several commenls regarding the rear ladder access to the equipment on the roof. IV.

CRITERIA AND FINDINGS The review criteria for a request of this nature are established by the Town Code. The proposed use is located within the High Density Multiple-Family zone district. Therefore, this proposal is subject to the issuance of a conditional use permit in accordance wilh the provisions of Chapter 12-16, VailTown Gode. A. Consideration of Factors Reoardinq Conditional Use Permits: 1. Relationship and impact of the use on the development objectives of the Town. Staff believes that the proposed use is compalible with the existing condominium use, and is generally consistent with lhe purpose of this zone district as long as the cellular transmitting and receiving equipment is camouflaged. Staff feels that the screen wall should be painted to match the existing colors of the building as proposed. This should lessen the visual impacls of these relatively tall features. 2. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, ulilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities needs. Staff believes there will be no impact on the above-referenced issues. 3. Effect upon traffic with particular relerence to congestion, automotive and pedestrian salety and convenience, traffic flow and conlrol, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow lrom the street and parking areas. Staff believes there will be little to no impact on the criteria listed above based on the applicant's representation regarding maintenance requirements 4. Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses. Staff believes the proposed screening wall, which will enclose the receiving and transmitting equipment, has been designed in a way to complimenl the existing Solar Vail building. The proposed screen wall and equipment should have litlle or no effect on surrounding properties and uses. The Planning and Environmental Commission has required significant upgrades to the Solar Vail property with each previous condilional use permit request. Staff feels that this is appropriate. Staff feels that the applicant should replace all existing non-conforming light fixtures with a lixture which meet the lighting standards.
