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.
Page 3 of 6
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
Site Tjrpe: Steeple Concealment Structure
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
