Crown Castle BU 823707 Conditional Use Permit Renewal 
22-UP-2003#5
Request to consider the following:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 13623 a Conditional Use Permit for an existing Type 4 Alternative 
Concealment Wireless Communication Facility (WCF) concealed within a 30-foot-tall 
artificial cactus located on a +/-26-acre site located at 39730 N. Cave Creek Road with Open 
Space, Environmentally Sensitive Lands District (Q-S ESL) zoning.
Goal/Purpose of Request
The applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the existing artificial 
Saguaro cactus wireless communication facility (WCF). The facility was originally approved by 
the City Council on October 20, 2003, under Case No. 22-UP-2003.
A Conditional Use Permit was required and approved in 2003 because the overall height of the 
faux Saguaro cactus WCF is 30 feet, which exceeds the maximum permitted height of 24 feet 
within the 0-S (Open Space) zoning district. Pursuant to the City’s zoning regulations, alternative 
concealment wireless communication facilities may succeed the maximum height of the 
underlying zoning district only with approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Had the faux Saguaro 
cactus facility been 24 feet or less in height, a Conditional Use Permit would not have been 
required, and the use would have been allowed by right. The subject parcel also contains a 
separate 24-foot-tall Verizon faux Saguaro cactus WCF, which complies with the O-S zoning 
district height limitations and is therefore permitted by right.
Conditional Use Permits for Wireless Communication Facilities are valid for a period of five (5) 
years from the date of City Council approval. The subject WCF has previously received renewal 
approvals under Case Nos. 22-UP-2003#2, 22-UP-2003#3, and 22-UP-2003#4. The most recent 
approval expired on January 19, 2026. No modifications to the existing WCF are proposed 
currently.
Action Taken .

IMPACT ANALYSIS
Land Use
The continued use of this wireless communication facility will not have any impact on the land 
use.
Conditional Use Permit
Conditional Use Permits, which may be revocable, conditional, or valid for a specified time 
period, may be granted only when expressly permitted after the Planning Commission has made 
a recommendation and City Council has found as follows:
A. That the granting of such Conditional Use Permit will not be materially detrimental to the 
public health, safety or welfare. In reaching this conclusion, the Planning Commission 
and the City Council’s consideration shall include, but not be limited to, the following 
factors:
1. Damage or nuisance arising from noise, smoke, odor, dust, vibration or illumination.
• There will not be damage or nuisance from noise, smoke, odor, dust, vibration 
or illumination.
2. Impact on surrounding areas resulting from an unusual volume or character of traffic.
• The WCF does not create any traffic besides the occasional service visit from 
technicians.
Page 3 of 6

City Council Report I Crown Castle BU 823707 Conditional Use Permit Renewal
B. The characteristics of the proposed conditional use are reasonably compatible with the
types of uses permitted in the surrounding areas.
o The use has been in existence on the property since 2003 and is reaspnably 
compatible with the types of uses permitted in the surrounding area.
C. The additional conditions specified in Section 1.403, as applicable, have been satisfied.
The proposal meets the provisions for Wireless Communication Facility (WCF) as
identified in Zoning Ordinance Section 1.403.V., including:
1. All wireless communication facility Conditional Use Permits shall be granted for a 
maximum of five (5) years from the date of City Council approval. The applicant shall 
be responsible for initiating a review of the approved wireless communication facility 
and shall derrionstrate that changes in technology that are economically feasible, 
have not eliminated the need for the Conditional Use Permit.
0 Changes in wireless technology have not eliminated the need for this wireless 
communication facility to operate. There is a need for additional wireless 
communication facilities in this area to serve the growing demand for wireless 
coverage and enhanced capacity or bandwidth.
2. To the degree a proposed WCF meets height requirements set forth in this Ordinance, 
no Conditional Use Permits shall be granted when the heights are found to be 
intrusive, obtrusive or out of character with the surrounding area.
• 
The height is only six (6): feet taller than what the O-S zoning district allows. 
The existing WCF blends into the surrounding environment and is not 
considered out of character.
3. Antennas and pole diameters shall be harmonious with the existing context and not 
be intrusive or obtrusive on the landscape or views.
• 
All antennas associated with this WCF will continue to be located inside of the 
faux Saguaro cactus and are not believed to be intrusive or obtrusive on the 
landscape or views. The nearest home is approximately 300-feet to the north.
4. The WCF shall blend into its setting and, to the extent that it is visible, not be obtrusive 
on the landscape.
• 
Although slightly taller and wider than a live saguaro cactus, this existing WCF 
is set in a desert setting and blends to a certain degree with the natural 
environment.
Public Safety
The facility benefits public safety communication needs.
Page 4 of 6

City Council Report | Crown Castle BU 823707 Conditional Use Permit Renewal 
Open Space
The facility has mininnum impact on open space.
Community Involvement
The City of Scottsdale promotes public participation in the development of the built environment 
and has used multiple public outreach methods. The applicant has also complied with the city’s 
suggested best practices for public outreach. No public comment has been received as of the 
drafting of this report.
Community Impact
There should be no negative community impact by extending the approval of this Wireless 
Communication Facility. This facility will continue to provide wireless communication service to 
an area of the community with WCF siting challenges due to varied terrain and few existing 
vertical structures. The nearest residence is over 300-feet to the north.
Policy Implications
Approval of this CUP will allow the facility to remain for at least another 5 years. Denial of this 
CUP will require the owner to remove the facility.
Other Boards and Commissions 
Planning Commission:
Planning Commission heard this case on March 25, 2026 and recommended approval with a 7-0 
vote.
Recommended Approach:
Staff recommended that the Planning Commission find that the Conditional Use Permit criteria 
have been met and make a recommendation to City Council for approval, per the attached 
stipulations.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Recommended Approach:
Adopt Resolution No. 13623 a Conditional Use Permit for an existing Type 4 Alternative 
Concealment Wireless Communication Facility (WCF) concealed within a 30-foot-tall artificial 
cactus located on a +/-26-acre site located at 39730 N. Cave Creek Road with Open Space, 
Environmentally Sensitive Lands District (O-S ESL) zoning.
