Title
To receive public comment and consider an application for a Specific Use Permit for a proposed Verizon Wireless Telecommunications Facility in the Urban Center Level 4 (CL4) zoning district on an approximate 4 acre-tract of land generally located east of Old Austin Hutto Rd and north of Sweet William Lane; to be known as Verizon at Heritage Park SUP (SUP2103-01)
Summary
The subject property is located just north of Heritage Park, east of Old Austin Hutto Rd, north of Sweet William Lane in the Bohls Place Subdivision. The subject property is currently owned by the City of Pflugerville and a lease agreement has been issued to the applicant for the purpose of constructing a wireless telecommunication facility (WTF) contingent upon site development approvals as well as this SUP. The property is zoned Urban Level 4 (CL4). Subchapter 4.8C of the UDC allows for a monopole to extend up to 150 feet so long as it is setback from any adjacent single-family residential property 3 times (3x) the height of the tower with a variation from this requirement permitted through Specific Use Permit (SUP). The applicant is requesting an SUP for a monopole tower to extend to a height of 100 feet (with a 10-foot antenna on top), setback 153 feet from the adjacent single-family neighborhood. This is a setback distance equal to roughly 1.5 times (1.5x) the height of the tower.
The monopole and site (see the conceptual site plan) have been proposed to meet the required conditions stated in Subchapter 4.8 of the Unified Development Code (UDC). This includes but is not limited to, the masonry wall, the capacity for collocation on the monopole, and the pursuit of this SUP. Furthermore, the monopole has been designed to allow for collocation per Subchapter 4.8, to allow for multiple carriers to utilize the pole thereby limiting the overall number of monopole towers constructed. The site will be reviewed at time of site development and will be required to meet all the conditions stated...
