APPLICANT’S PROPOSAL
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.
• 
The WCF produces no damage or nuisance from noise, smoke, dUst, vibration 
or illumination. The WCF contains air conditioning units to cool the radio 
equipment, but the noise should be blocked by the screen wall, be minimal 
and not have an impact on any adjacent properties.
2. Impacton surrounding areas resulting from an unusual volume or character of traffic.
• 
The WCF use will not create an unusual volume or character of traffic on the 
adjacent streets.
B. The characteristics of the proposed conditional use are reasonably compatible with the 
types of uses permitted in the surrounding areas.
• 
The WCF is concealed within a church steeple^ The nearest single-family 
residential properties are located approximately 115 feet to the west, 130 feet 
to the north, 180 feet to the south and 375 feet to the east of the WCF.
C. The additional conditions specified in Section 1.403, as applicable, have been satisfied. 
The proposal meets the provisions for Wireless Communication Facility (WCF) Type 4 as 
identified in Zbnihg Ordinance Section 1.403.X., including:
1. All wireless communication facility use permits shall be granted for a maximum of five 
(5) years frpm the date of City Council approval. The applicant shall be responsible 
for initiating a review of the approved wireless communication facility and shall 
demonstrate that changes in technology, that are economically feasible, have not 
eliminated the need for the Use Permit.
• Changes in wireless technology have not eliminated the need for this wireless 
communlication 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. The facility is required to 
operate within the requirements set by the Federal Communications 
Commission.

City Council Report | Vertical Bridge - US-AZ-7008 T-Mobile PH30920A Granite Reef Church
2. To the degree a proposed WCF meets height requirements set forth in this Ordinance, 
no use permits shall be granted when heights are found to be intrusive, obtrusive or 
out of character with the area.
• Although taller than the church, the steeple design is mid-century modern, 
which architecturally blends with the property. Section 7.102 of the Zoning 
Ordinance does allow church steeples to extend to a height of one hundred 
(100) feet.
3. Antenna and pole diameters shall be harmonious with the existing context and not be 
intrusive or obtrusive on the landscape and views.
• 
Antennas, cables and associated radio equipment are completed concealed 
within the top of the steeple structure, and not visible to the public.
4. The WCF shall blend into its setting and, to the extent that it is visible, not be intrusive 
on the landscape or obtrusive on views.
• 
Although taller than the church, the architectural design is compatible with 
the church and it should not be considered intrusive on the landscape or 
obtrusive on views.
Public Safety
The facility benefits public safety communication needs.
Open Space
The facility has a minimum impact on open space.
Community Involvement
December 4'^ 2025: Applicant mails notification letters to property owners within 750 feet of the 
subject WCF letting residents know of their intent to request renewal of the Conditional Use 
Permit. Staff received one email in support of the request.
Community Impact
Approval of this Conditional Use Permit will allow Verizon to continue to provide wireless and 
data coverage to residents, businesses and people traveling through this busy portion of 
Scottsdale. Denial of this Conditional Use Permit would require Verizon to find another location 
in this general area to construct a new facility.
Other Boards and Commissions 
Planning Commission:
Planning Commission heard this case on March 25, 2026 and recommended approval with a 7-0 
vote.

Scottsdale Revised Code Section 1.403
V. Wireless communications facility (WCF) Type 4.
1. All 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 facility and shall demonstrate that changes in technology, 
that are economically feasible, have not eliminated the need for the use permit. If 
a new use permit is not granted, the applicant shall be responsible for the 
removal of the facility. When a use permit is granted for a co-location on a facility 
with an existing use permit, the action of granting the new use permit shall 
extend the existing use permit so that they will expire simultaneously.
2. To the degree a proposed WCF meets height requirements set forth in this 
ordinance, no use permit shall be granted when heights are found to be intrusive, 
obtrusive or out of character with the surrounding area.
3. Antennas and pole diameters shall be harmonious with the existing context and 
not be intrusive or obtrusive on the landscape or views.
4. The shape of the WCF shall blend with other similar vertical objects and not be 
intrusive in its setting or obtrusive to views.
5. The WCF shall blend into its setting and, to the extent that it is visible, not be 
intrusive on the landscape or obtrusive on views.

Narrative for WCF CUP Renewal
Date: November 9, 2025 
Project No: 878-PA-2025
Project Name: CUP Renewal - Site ID US-AZ-7008 (PH30920A)
Site Name: Granite Reef Church
Address: 4425 N. Granite Reef Rd., Scottsdale, AZ 85251 
Applicant: Isabel Chavez, Network Connex 
Carrier: T-Mobile

Jurisdiction: City of Scottsdale
Project Description
Vertical Bridge REIT, LLC is requesting a renewal of the Conditional Use Permit for 
continued operation of an existing Wireless Communication Facility (WCF) located at 
the above address. The facility consists of a concealed monopalm structure housing six 
panel antennas, six radios, one microwave dish, and associated ground equipment 
including cabinets, battery backup, and utility connections.
Compliance with Section 1.403 - Conditional Use Criteria for WCFs
1. Compatibility with Surrounding Area
The WCF is designed as a monopalm concealment structure, blending with the 
surrounding residential and church property. It is located within a church parcel and 
does not negatively impact adjacent residential uses. The concealment design includes 
realistic fronds and bark texture, and the equipment area is screened with a CMU wall 
and landscaping.
2. Conformance with General Plan
The facility supports the Cit/s General Plan goals by enhancing wireless infrastructure 
and connectivity. No changes to land use, density, or building footprint are proposed.
3. Traffic and Access
The site is unmanned and does not generate traffic. Access is limited to periodic 
maintenance visits, which do not interfere with surrounding traffic patterns or parking 
availability.
ATTACHMENT 3

4. Noise and Lighting
The facility operates silently. Two service lights are installed for maintenance purposes and 
are shielded to minimize light spill. No additional lighting is proposed.
5. Public Health and Safety
The facility complies with FCC regulations for radio frequency emissions. An updated RF-EME 
study is included in the submittal to demonstrate compliance with safety standards.
6. Community Notification
All property owners within 750 feet of the site have been notified in accordance with city 
requirements. Documentation of the mailing list, notification letter, and mailing date is 
included.
7. Design and Screening
The concealment structure is painted and textured to match the existing building. RF-friendly 
panels are in good condition. Ground equipment is enclosed within a CMU wall and screened 
from public view.
8. Duration and Renewal
This application seeks to renew the CUP for continued operation of the existing facility. No 
modifications to the structure or equiprnent are proposed.

Isabel Chavez
