Phoenix Tower WCF 2022-WC-0001, 2022-CU-0001. 2024-SEPA-0003, US-WA-1010

Description of the Proposal:

Replace existing 42-foot high monopole wireless communication facility with a 90-foot high mono-pine, along with associated access drive and supporting equipment.

The existing 42-foot monopole was originally approved administratively in 2006 as a Wireless Communication Facilities (WCF) application (File# 05-01), SEPA Review (File #05-06), and Building Permit (File# B05-1470).

The proposed design will simulate a conifer tree to reduce aesthetic impacts. The lease area will increase to accommodate additional carriers. A conditional use permit review is required due to the proposed height in a residential zone and the fact that the facility doesn’t qualify as a “microcell” or “minor facility” per LFPMC 18.68.020.
