� SECTION II: FINDINGS FOR EXCEPTION
IWHEREAS, in order to provide height flexibility in situations when collocation of personal
wireless service antennas is desirable from a design and visual standpoint, an applicant for
development may file an exception request to seek approval to deviate from the standards; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds the following with regards to the Height Exception
for this application:
1. That the siting and visual screening of the treepole are inadequate and create obtrusive visual
impacts that are aggravated by the extra height of the treepole proposed under this height
exception.
2. That the proposed project will be injurious to property or improvements in the area and be
materially detrimental to the public welfare in that the treepole is inadequately screened in
accordance with the siting and design guidelines of the City's Wireless Facilities Master
Plan, and would degrade the visual environment of the area.
3. The proposed development will not create a hazardous condition for pedestrian or vehicular
� traffic because it is not sited within the travel ways or sight lines of pedestrian or vehicular
traffic.
