STAFF REPORT
Compliance with General Plan:
The 2020 General Plan identifies this area as part of the Commerce/Industry
Park Planning Area and is compatible with the land use plan. 
City Zoning/Land Use
The collocation of wireless communication equipment on an existing
monopole tower requires a conditional use permit approval by the City for
the applicant to continue with the submittal of construction plans for review. 
ARS 28-8481 Land Use
Compatibility
The site is located within the 65 ldn of the Luke Air Force Base Noise
Contour Zone. Since the wireless communication equipment is being
installed on an existing tower, a Luke AFB review for land use compatibility
was not required.    
Considerations:
The applicant is requesting the approval of a conditional use permit to be
able to collocate wireless communication equipment on an existing
communication facility located on private property. The tower is owned by
Crown Castle and the land is owned by Kevin's Landscaping. The City will
not be receiving any additional revenue since the tower is on private land. 
The collocation of the new equipment will not increase the height or the
ground area of the existing communication facility. Section 6409 mandates
that state and local governments must approve any eligible facilities request
for the modification of an existing wireless tower or base station that does
not substantially change the physical dimensions of such tower or base
station and requires the application to be reviewed and approved within 60
days. 
City Staff Review
No concerns or objections
Stipulations:
Applicant shall consent to and address the TAC Review Comments
mentioned in the March 25, 2022, Memorandum with the submittal of
construction design plans. 
Planning Commission
Staff will seek a recommendation at the April 12, 2022, Public Hearing.
Council
Staff will seek final action at the April 19, 2022, Public Hearing
