Explanation
Rezoning Application Z16-006
APPLICANT: SBA Towers IX, LLC; c/o Stephen V. Cheatham, Atty.; Buckley King; 600 Superior Avenue East; Suite 1400; Cleveland, OH 44114.
PROPOSED USE: Monopole telecommunications antenna.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on June 9, 2016.
GREATER SOUTH EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single undeveloped parcel zoned in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will allow the construction of a monopole telecommunications antenna that is not permitted by the existing CPD District. The proposed CPD text includes appropriate use restrictions and commitments for setbacks, site access, buffering and landscaping, site and elevation plans, and building materials. A variance to reduce the required setback of the antenna from the adjacent residentially-zoned property is included in the request. This variance is supported because the placement of the antenna almost anywhere on this property would require a setback variance, and the applicant worked with staff on finding a suitable location on the site that was least impactful to the adjacent residential developments. The site is located within the planning area of the Brice-Tussing Area Plan (1990), which recommends commercial and parks/open space land uses at this location. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District is compatible with the commercial development pattern along Gender Road while allowing for the additional use of a monopole telecommunication antenna with appropriate development standards.
