Based on the incorporated findings, the proposal is found to be consistent with the Metro Plan, <br />and Willakenzie Area Plan (WAP) as required. <br />EC 9.8090(2): The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposal <br />are reasonably compatible with and have minimal impact on the livability or <br />appropriate development of surrounding property, as they relate to the following <br />factors: <br />(a) The proposed building(s) mass and scale are physically suitable for the type <br />and density of use being proposed. <br />This subsection addresses compatibility and livability issues by ensuring that proposed buildings <br />are sized appropriately for their use. In this case the proposed use is for a cell tower not a <br />building as that term is defined in EC 9.0500 and used in subsection (a). <br />(b) The proposed structures, parking lots, outdoor use areas or other site <br />improvements which could cause substantial off-site impacts such as noise, <br />glare and odors are oriented away from nearby residential uses and/or are <br />adequately mitigated through other design techniques, such as screening and <br />increased setbacks. <br />This criterion addresses site improvements that could cause substantial off-site impacts such as <br />noise, glare, and odors: The subject site is surrounded by low-density and medium density <br />residential development to the east, west and north and the golf course to the south. Off-site <br />impacts could come from four apparent sources: noise from the ancillary facilities, glare from <br />lighting, electromagnetic exposure and visual impacts from the ancillary facilities and tower. <br />Noise -The findings and conclusions in response to EC 9.5750(7)(f) are incorporated here by <br />reference. <br />Glare - No tower lighting is proposed. Security, lighting will be required to meet outdoor lighting <br />requirements at EC 9.6725, which require cutoff and shielding as necessary to direct light within <br />the boundary of the development site. Given these standards, glare from the lights will be <br />adequately mitigated. <br />Electromagnetic Radiation (NIER) emissions -Telecommunications standards at EC 9.5750 <br />require the applicant to submit documentation demonstrating compliance with non-ionizing <br />electromagnetic radiation (NIER) emissions standards as set forth by the Federal <br />Communications Commission (FCC). <br />The applicant provided a report as Exhibit O, which includes the documentation demonstrating <br />compliance with non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation (NIER) emission standards as set forth <br />by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). This report was subsequently reviewed by <br />Hearing Official Decision (PDT 10-2, CU 11-1) 45 <br />
