Purpose of Request 
 
T-Mobile is committed to improving coverage and expanding network capacity to 
meet customer demand throughout the City of Chandler. T-Mobile in cooperation 
with Crown Castle is proposing a new Wireless Communication Facility (WCF) to 
be located at 2055 S Stearman Drive, Chandler.  
 
The proposed WCF will provide residents, visitors and businesses with improved 
high quality reliable wireless service for both personal & business, in addition to 
enhancing emergency services in the area. 
 
Details of Request 
 
T-Mobile is trying to address a GAP in coverage in the vicinity of the subject 
property. The first choice from a cost/speed to market perspective is always to 
co-locate. Unfortunately, there are no suitable co-location options in the 
immediate area where the GAP in coverage exists.  
 
T-Mobile has no option but to pursue a new WCF to address the network issues. 
The proposed site will be disguised as an 80’ Broadleaf Tree, and designed to 
accommodate multiple carriers.  
 
There are other carriers that have expressed interested in co-locating on the 
proposed WCF. It’s fair to assume that accommodating multiple carriers on a 
single WCF is more appealing from a jurisdiction perspective, as opposed to 
promoting the proliferation of additional sites in the immediate area.  
 
We believe that the proposed site type/height is practical for this location (far 
removed from the nearest residential), and should eliminate the need for any 
new WCF’s in the immediate area going forward.  
 
The FAA has approved 80’ at the proposed location. Please let me know if you 
need any additional information. 
 
Sincerely,
