Introduction Lexcom Development is submitting this application for a new wireless telecommunication facility on behalf of New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC (AT&T) and the property owner, Calvary Chapel of Eugene. The purpose of the proposed project is to fill a significant coverage gap in 4G LTE technology (700 MHz) and improve all AT&T service the area. The proposed facility would provide indoor, outdoor, and in-vehicle coverage within a geographic area not presently served by AT&T’s high band 4G LTE technology. The proposed project meets all of the City of Eugene’s criteria for siting a new wireless telecommunication facility, including height, setbacks and design. (AT&T requests a variance from the City’s requirement for underground ancillary equipment in light of the stealth design of the equipment shed.) As shown throughout this application, AT&T’s proposal is the least intrusive means of meeting AT&T’s coverage objectives. The proposed project also complies with the goals Site ID: EG46 Fox Hollow & Amazon RoadPage 1of 22 of the 2004 Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan (“Metro Plan”). AT&T respectfully requests that the City of Eugene approve the facility as proposed. 3. Proposal 3.1 Project Overview The proposed wireless telecommunication facility is located at the Calvary Chapel of Eugene at the corner of Fox Hollow Road and West Amazon Drive. The area is zoned Low Density Residential (R1). The proposedstructure is a 75-foot tall monopine, which is a “stealth” cell tower, designed to look like the pine trees native to the region and minimize negative visual impacts. The 70-foot antenna tip height is the minimum height necessary to fill the targeted high band 4G LTE coverage gap. The proposed ancillary equipment structure also uses a stealth designit is an extension of the existing chapel, designed to match the chapel’s architecture. See Attachment (Att.) 04: Site Plan & Att. 11: RF Coverage Maps. 3.2 Network Information & Site Selection AT&T is upgrading and expanding its wireless communications network throughout Oregon, including the installation of the latest high band 4G LTE technology at the proposed site. Upon completion of this update, AT&T will operate a state-of-the-art digital network of wireless communications facilities throughout the proposed coverage area as part of its nationwide wireless network. LTE stands for “Long Term Evolution.” This acronym refers to the ongoing process of improving wireless technology standards, with 4G bringing broadband speeds up to ten times faster than 3G. LTE technology is the next step in increasing broadband speeds to meet the demands of uses and the variety of content accessed over mobile networks. AT&T constructs wireless communication facilities at carefully selected locations. The need for service in this particular geographic area was determined by market demand, coverage requirements for a specific geographic area, and the need to provide continuous coverage from one site to another. For this project, AT&T considered the maps showing existing 4G LTE coverage in the area and determined there is a significant high band 4G LTE coverage gap in the area of Fox Hollow Road and West Amazon Drive. See Att. 11: RF Coverage Map, “Exhibit 1A-Existing 4G Service Coverage Map.” Once the need for additional coverage was established, AT&T’s RF engineers performed a study to determine the approximate site location and antenna height required to provide service in the desired coverage area. Using a computer modeling program that accounts for the terrain within the service area and other variables, such as proposed antenna height, available radio frequencies and wireless equipment characteristics, the engineers identified a “search ring,” Site ID: EG46 Fox Hollow & Amazon RoadPage 2of 22 wherein a site could be located to fill the coverage gap.See Att.13: Search Ring. The engineers took the following objectives into consideration when identifying the search ring: 1.Coverage. The antenna site must be located in an area where the radio frequency broadcasts will provide adequate coverage within the significant gap in coverage. The RF engineer must take into consideration the coverage objectives for the site as well as the terrain in and around the area to be covered. Since radio frequency broadcasts travel in a straight line and diminish as they travel further away from the antennas, it is generally best to place an antenna site near the center of the desired coverage area. However, in certain cases, the search ring may be located away from the center of the desired coverage area due to the existing coverage, the surrounding terrain, or other features which might affect the radio frequency broadcasts like buildings or sources of electrical interference. 2.Clutter. AT&T’s antennas must “clear the clutter” in the area. The radio frequencies used in AT&T’s systems are adversely affected by trees, buildings, and other natural and man- made obstacles. AT&T’s radio frequencies do not penetrate mountains, hills, rocks or metal, and its radio frequencies are diminished by trees, brick and wood walls, and other structures. Therefore, AT&T’s antennas must be installed above or close to the “clutter” in order to provide high quality communications services in the desired coverage areas. In addition, if the local code requires us to accommodate additional carriers on the structure, the structure must be even higher in order to allow the other carriers’ antennas to clear the clutter as well. 3.Call Handoff. The antenna site must be located in an area where the radio broadcasts from this site will allow seamless call handoff with adjacent sites. “Call handoff” is a feature of a wireless communications system which allows an ongoing telephone conversation to continue uninterrupted as the user travels from the coverage area of one antenna site into the coverage area of an adjacent antenna site. This requires coverage overlap for a sufficient distance and/or period of time to support the mechanism of the handoff. 4.Quality of Service. Users of wireless communications services want to use their services where they live, work, commute and play, including when they are indoors. AT&T’s coverage objectives include the ability to provide indoor coverage in areas where there are residences, businesses and indoor recreational facilities. 5.Radio Frequencies used by System. The designs of telecommunications systems will vary greatly based upon the radio frequencies that are used by the carrier. If the carrier uses radio frequencies that are in the 850 MHz to 950 MHz range, the radio signals will travel further and will penetrate buildings better than radio frequencies in the 1900 MHz band. 6.Land Use Classifications. AT&T’s ability to construct a cell site on any particular property is affected by Oregonstate law and Eugene city code. Site ID: EG46 Fox Hollow & Amazon RoadPage 3of 22 AT&T’s coverage propagation software systems use these and other factors (type of antenna, antenna tilt, etc.) to predict the coverage that will be provided by the proposed site. When this technical analysis was completed for this project, a search ring map was provided to AT&T’s site development specialists. The approximate search ring boundaries for this project are: th E. 38Avenue to the north; rd E. 43 Avenue to the south; University Street to the east; and Dillard Road to the west. See Att. 13: Search Ring. Usingthis information, AT&T ranked potential sites. Whenever feasible, AT&T strives to site its projects on property that is properly zoned and adjacent to compatible land uses. AT&T attempts to select a location and design that minimizes negative visual impacts to the greatest extent possible. Sites adjacent to existing tall power lines, antenna facilities, water treatment facilities, and on the tops of buildings are selected when they meet the technical requirements of the system. Rooftop and utility pole applications are favored where the design can be screened or incorporated into the existing structure and mechanical equipment can be placed out of view. New, freestanding towers and poles are amongthe last design options to be considered. After viewing the area, the locationsconsidered included various light poles and utility poles surrounding the Fox Hollow area and Amazon Drive area, in addition topotential new build sites. Sites were eliminated from consideration due to zoning ordinances prohibitingthe location, insufficient room for mechanical equipment, required setbacks that could not be achieved,or property where a lease could not be acquired. A table outlining the analyses of alternative sites considered is below (in the response to application submittal requirement EC 9.5750(6)(c)2). Three coverage maps are attached as Exhibits to Attachment 11: RF Coverage Maps. Exhibit 1A demonstrates the existing level of service. Exhibit 1B demonstrates the service that will be provided by the new location at a height of 75 feet (antenna tip height). Exhibit 1C demonstrates the service that would be provided from an alternative sitean existing light standard. The areas shaded in green on the maps indicate where an AT&T wireless device can be reliably used to make and receive telephone calls. The terrain, foliage, nearby structures, and telecommunication facility location are taken into account. The further the distance from the facility, or the more abundant the clutter (trees, buildings, etc.) between the facility and the wireless device, the weaker the signal will be. Other factors, not represented on the RF Coverage Maps, include the ability of the site to handle the required call capacity and to provide the extent of data and other services required by AT&T customers. The proposed site is designed to provide coverage consistent with these factors. AT&T’s RF engineers have determined that at the proposed location, a 70-foot antenna tip height Site ID: EG46 Fox Hollow & Amazon RoadPage 4of 22 (for a total 75-foot pole height) is the minimum necessary to achieve AT&T’s 4G LTE coverage objectives. The proposed monopole is designed to look like an evergreen treea monopine. AT&T chose this stealth design as the best option for integration with the natural landscapeof this primarily residential area, which is already surrounded by tall evergreen trees. This design will have the least intrusive visual impact. This proposed project would allow AT&T to provide high band 4GLTEcoverage where there is currently a significant 4G LTE coverage gap, and allow for uninterrupted wireless service with fewer dropped calls, improved call quality, and improved access to additional wireless services that the public now demands. This includes emergency 911 calls throughout the area. 5. Applicable Law Federal, state and local laws will apply to this application. Under the Telecommunications Act, the City of Eugene is prohibited from considering the environmental effects (including health effects) of the proposed site if the site will operate in compliance with federal regulations. 47 U.S.C. Section 332(c)(7)(B)(iv). AT&T has included with this application a report titled Non-Ionizing Electromagnetic Exposure Analysis prepared by Hatfield & Dawson as Attachment 06 that demonstrates the proposed facility will operate in accordance with the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) RF Emissions regulations. Therefore, this issue is preempted under federal law and any testimony or documents introduced relating to the environment or health effects of the proposed site should be disregarded in this proceeding. Additionally, the Telecommunications Act requires local jurisdictions to act upon applications for wireless communications sites within a ‘reasonable’ time. The FCC has issued a ‘Shot Clock’ rule to establish a deadline for the issuance of land use permits for wireless facilities. According to the FCC, a reasonable period of time for local government to act on wireless applications is 90-days for a co-location application and 150-days for all other applications. This time period includes all application notice and appeal periods. The reasonable period for the City of Eugene to review this application is 150-days. The applicable local laws are addressed below. 6.

Such points shall be chosen by the provider with review and approval by the planning director to ensure that various potential views are represented. Response: Photo simulations of the proposed site are at Attachment 10: Photo Simulations. 2. Documentation that alternative sites within a radius of at least 2000 feet have been considered and have been determined to be technologically unfeasible or unavailable. For site reviews, alternative sites zoned C-4, I-1, I-2, and I-3 must be considered. For conditional use permits, alternative sites zoned PL, C-2, C-3, C-4, I-1, I-2, I-3 and S- WS must be considered. Response: Based on an extensive RF design analysis, a search ring was issued to locate a site to fill asignificanthigh band 4G LTE coverage gap and improve service in an area targeting Fox Hollow and Amazon Drive. This area is zoned R-1. Significant deviation from this location would make any attempt to solve the 4G LTE coverage gap in the area ineffective.See above, “Site Selection,” for further explanation about AT&T’s alternative site analysis process. The table below outlines the analyses of sites considered. Property Type DescriptionSummary Existing 1)Existing Eugene Water and Per Jamie Breckenridge, Utility Joint Use Structures Electric Board (EWEB) poles Coordinator at EWEB, it is EWEB policy to allow within the search ring communication facilities only on poles with no live power lines. All EWEB poles in this area carry live power lines except the light pole noted below or one located on Amazon Road that, per an email on April 16, 2013, was not a viable location for EWEB purposes. 2) Existing 30’ Light Pole in Per guidelines developed between the City and ROW along Dillard & Fox utility providers, ‘Telecommunication Facilities in Hollow Roads. the Right-of-Way Policy Guidelines’, a utility pole may only be extended an additional 18’ in the right-of-way to accommodate wireless facilities. This would provide an overall height of 48’ AGL with a potential antenna tip height of 52’. At this limited height, coverage suffers significantly to the north, south and west, leaving a combined gap in coverage of approximately 1.5–2 miles. Site ID: EG46 Fox Hollow & Amazon RoadPage 10of 22 In addition, there were some development challenges to replace the existing pole and place the equipment. The space within the ROW is limited and there are City Storm & Sewer utility easements that appear to run through this location. See Atts. 11: RF Coverage Maps at Exhibit 1C. Raw Land 1)Kincaid City Park Initial conversations with Pam Berrian, Sites Telecommunications & Cable Program Manager, indicated that there is currently no process for leasing space to wireless carriers in city parks. Further, staff at the pre-application meeting indicated that this location would not be ideal as it would be more visually impactful than the site proposed. 2)Parker Elementary School Belongs to the 4J school district. The 4J School (adjacent to Kincaid Park) District was not interested in leasing space for wireless facilities on any of their properties. 3)Emerald Valley Assisted Property owners did not return our multiple calls Living Residence regarding leasing. (located just outside of search ring) 3. Evidence demonstrating collocation is impractical on existing tall buildings, light or utility poles, water towers, existing transmission towers, and existing tower facility sites for reasons of structural support capabilities, safety, available space, or failing to meet service coverage area needs. Response: There are no existing buildingsofsufficient heightthat will meet AT&T’s coverage goals.Existing light/utlity poles in the search ring are of insufficient height to meet service coverage needs at +/- 30’ (as discussed above in the alternative site review). There are no existing wireless tower facilities or water towers in the area on which to collocate. 4.A current overall system plan for the city, showing facilities presently constructed or approved and future expansion plans. Response: See the maps atAttachment12: Constructed and Approved Sites. The blue dots represent AT&T sites that are currently in operation and the green dots represent sites that have been approved for AT&T development. The approved sites are in various stages of development. Site ID: EG46 Fox Hollow & Amazon RoadPage 11of 22 5. A statement providing the reasons for the location, design and height of the proposed tower or antennas. Response: AT&T is experiencing a significant 4G LTE coverage gap in south Eugene. The installation of the proposed monopine at Fox Hollow Road and West Amazon Drive will fill this gap and, in conjunction with adjacent sites, provide adequate voice and data coverage to the south Eugene area. See above at Section IV: Site Selection for a detailed explanation of AT&T’s site and design selection process. See also Attachment 11: RF Coverage Maps. (7) Standards for Transmission Towers and Antennas. Installation, construction or modification of all transmission towers and antennas shall comply with the following standards, unless a variance is obtained pursuant to the provisions of subsection (9) of this section: (a)Separation betweenTransmission Towers. No transmission tower may be constructed within 2000 feet of any pre-existing transmission tower. Tower separation shall be measured by following a straight line from the portion of the base of the proposed tower which is closest to the base of any pre-existing tower. For purposes of this paragraph, a tower shall include any transmission tower for which the city has issued a development permit, or for which an application has been filed and not denied. Transmission towers constructed or approved prior to February 26, 1997 may be modified to accommodate additional providers consistent with provisions for collocation in this section. Response: There no registered towers within 2000 feet of the site proposed herein per a search completed on the FCC’s Antenna Structure Registration website at http://wireless.fcc.gov/antenna/index.htm?job=home. (b) Height Limitation: Transmission tower heights shall be governed by this section except as provided for below. No transmission tower shall exceed the maximum heights provided below. In no case shall a variance be granted from the limitations of subparagraphs (1) through (4) below. 1. In any zones, no transmission tower shall exceed the height limitations established for buildings and structures in the specified areas surrounding Skinner Butte contained in EC 9.6715 Height Limitation Areas of this land use code to protect views to and from Skinner Butte. 2. In any zone within the area east of Willagillespie Road, south of Cal Young Road, west of Oakway Road, and north of Southwood Lane and Country Club Road, no transmission tower shall exceed 75 feet in height to protect views to and from Gillespie Butte. Site ID: EG46 Fox Hollow & Amazon RoadPage 12of 22 3. If located within a PL, C-2, C-3, C-4, R-4, I-1, I-2, I-3 or S-WS zone, the height limitation for that zone shall apply. 4. If located within a C-1, S (other than S-WS) or GO zone, the maximum height of a transmission tower, including antennas, is 100 feet. 5. If located within an R-1 zone, the maximum height of a transmission tower, including antennas, is 75 feet, unless a variance is granted pursuant to the provisions of subsection (9) of this section. In no event shall a variance be granted to construct such a tower in excess of 100 feet. Response: The site does not fall into a viewshed for any of the above-mentioned Buttes and does not exceed the maximum height restriction of the underlying R-1 zoning designation of 75feet. (c) Collocation. New transmission towers shall be designed to accommodate collocation of additional providers: ******** 2. New transmission towers of a height of at least 60 feet and no more than 80 feet shall be designed to accommodate collocation of a minimum of 1 additional provider either outright or through future modification to the tower. Response: The proposed monopineis designed to accommodate twelve AT&T antennasat the top and can also accommodate twelve antennas belonging to a collocator(s). See Attachment 04: Site Plans, page A-3.0 and A-3.1 (d) Setback. The following setbacks from adjacent property lines and adjacent streets shall be required unless a variance is granted pursuantto the provisions of subsection (9) of this section: 2. If located within an R-1, C-1, or GO zone, the transmission tower shall be set back from adjacent property lines a minimum number of feet that is equal to the height of the transmission tower. 3. In the R-1, PL, C-1 and GO zones, transmission towers shall be set back from adjacent public street(s) a minimum number of feet that is equal to the height of the tower. In all other zones, the setback from adjacent public streets shall be a minimum of 25 feet. Response: The proposed project design has a setback from the adjacent property lines(at Fox Hollow Road and Amazon Drive) of at least 75 feet, which is equal to the total height of the proposed tower. See Att. 04: Site Plan. Site ID: EG46 Fox Hollow & Amazon RoadPage 13of 22 (e) Buffering. In all zones, existing vegetation shall be preserved to the maximum extent possible. In the C-4, I-1, I-2 and I-3 zones, no buffering is required beyond that required by this land use code. In all other zones, landscaping shall be placed completely around the transmission tower and ancillary facilities located at ground level except as required to access the facility. Such landscaping shall consist of evergreen vegetation with a minimum planted height of 6 feet placed densely so as to form a screen. Landscaping shall be compatible with other nearby landscaping and shall be kept healthy and well maintained. Response: Theproposed project is a stealth transmission tower designed to look like an evergreen tree (monopine) and surrounded by a 6-foot tall cedar fence. The equipment shed is designed to look like an extension of the chapel on the property. The mature trees and existing vegetation along the perimeter of the property will be preserved to buffer the view of the site from adjacent properties.The mature trees are detailed at Attachment 04: Site Plan, SV1, as submitted with this application. (f) Noise Reduction. In R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, C-1, and GO and in all other zones when the adjacent property is zoned for residential use or occupied by a dwelling, hospital, school, library, or nursing home, noise generating equipment shall be sound-buffered by means of baffling, barriers, or other suitable means to reduce sound level measured at the property line to 45 dBa. Response: Sound from the ancillary equipment for this project will be at or below 45 dBA, and thus meets this code requirement. Please see Attachment 07: Sound Study. (g) Status of Location. No permit may be issued for the location of a new telecommunications facility within an R-1 or C-1 zone unless the lot on which it is to be placed is vacant or developed with a non-residential use at the time the permit application is submitted. This restriction does not apply within other zones. Response: This proposal is located on a property zoned R-1 currently developed with a non- residential use, a Church. (h) Lighting. No lighting shall be permitted on transmission towers except that required by the Federal Aviation Administration. No high intensity white lights may be located on transmission towers in an R-1, C-1, or PRO zone. Response: No onsite lighting is required or proposed. (i)Color. The transmission tower and attached antennas shall be unpainted galvanized steel or painted neutral colors or such shades as are Site ID: EG46 Fox Hollow & Amazon RoadPage 14of 22 appropriate and compatible with the surrounding environment, as approved by the city. Response: The proposed project is for a monopole designed to mimic the look of an evergreen tree, typically referred to as a monopine. The antenna will be painted a neutralgreen to match the monopine “branches.” See Attachment 10: Photo Simulations. (j) Viewshed. The transmission tower shall be located down slope from the top of a ridgeline so that when viewed from any point along the northern right-of-way line of 18th Avenue, the tower does not interrupt the profile of the ridgeline or Spencer Butte. In addition, a transmission tower shall not interrupt the profile of Spencer Butte when viewed from any location in Amazon Park. Visual impacts to prominent views of Skinner Butte, Judkins Point, and Gillespie Butte shall be minimized to the greatest extent possible. Approval for location of a transmission tower in a prominent view of these Buttes shall be given only if location of the transmission tower on an alternative site is not possible as documented by application materials submitted by the applicant, and the transmission tower is limited in height to the minimum height necessary to provide the approximate coverage the tower is intended to provide. Response: The proposed facility is not within the viewshed of any of the above-mentioned Buttes, and is not on a ridgeline. (k) Display.No signs, striping, graphics or other attention getting devices are permitted on the transmission tower or ancillary facilities except for warning and safety signage with a surface area of no more than 3 square feet. Such signage shall be affixed to a fence or ancillary facility and the number of signs is limited to no more than 2. Response: No signs, striping, graphics or lighting is proposed for this site other than as required by Federal, state or local lawand shall be no greater than 3 x 3. (8) Standards for Ancillary Facilities. All ancillary facilities shall comply with the standards of subsections (7)(e) and (7)(f) of this section. In addition, all ancillary facilities within an R-1, PL, C-1, GO, and PRO zone must be located underground to the maximum extent technology allows, unless a variance is obtained pursuant to the provisions of subsection (9) of this section. This restriction does not apply within other zones. Response: AT&T seeks a variance to place the ancillary facilities for this project aboveground, pursuant to the specific variance criteria listed in subsection (9) below. The applicable criteria for the variance to the undergrounding requirement are contained in (9)(c), and subject to review as outlined in (9)(a) and (9)(e). (9) Variance. Site ID: EG46 Fox Hollow & Amazon RoadPage 15of 22 (a) Any variance to the requirements of this section shall be granted only pursuant to the following provisions. The criteria for granting a variance shall be limited to this section, and shall not include the standard variance criteria beginning at EC 9.8750 Purpose of Variances. ******** (c) The city may grant a variance to the setback and undergrounding requirements of subsections (7)(d) or (8) upon finding that stealth design, proposed landscaping, configuration of the site, or the presence of mature trees obviates the need for compliance. (e)If the proposed transmission tower or ancillary facility requires site review or a conditional use permit, the request for variance shall be considered as part of the site review or conditional use permit process. If the proposed transmission tower or ancillary facility is an outright permitted use, the request for a variance shall be processed pursuant to Type II application procedures beginning at EC 9.7200 General Overview of Type II Application Proceduresexcept that the decision shall be based on the criteria in this section. Response: AT&T requests a variance to the undergrounding requirement based on the design of the equipment enclosure. The proposed design will be a fully enclosed shed/storage room, which will look like, and double as, an accessory building to the existing property use. AT&T will construct the building so that part of it is allocated to the telecommunication facility, and the other part will function as a storage area for the property owner. The design and colors are designed to match those of the chapel. Because this project requires a conditional use permit, this variance request is considered a part of the conditional use permit process. (11) Application Review and Fees. The city manager shall retain one or more consultants to verify the accuracy of statements made in connection with an application for a building or land use permit for a telecommunications facility. Notwithstanding any other provision of this code, the city manager shall require the applicant to pay, as part of the application fees, an amount sufficient to recover all of the city’s costs in retaining the consultant(s). Response: Application fees have been included with this proposal sufficient to cover the Conditional Use Permit and the consultant fee to review the NIER report. Site ID: EG46 Fox Hollow & Amazon RoadPage 16of 22 9.8090 Conditional Use Permit Approval Criteria -General. A conditional use permit shall be granted only if the proposal conforms to all of the following criteria: (1)The proposal is consistent with applicable provisions of the Metro Planand applicable refinement plans. Response: The proposed project is within the Urban Growth Boundary as shown on the Metro Area General PlanPlan Diagram. Environmental Design Element: Policy E.4 of the Environmental Design Element says, “Public and private facilities shall be designed and located in a manner that preserves and enhances desirable features of local and neighborhood areas and promotes their sense of identity.” The proposed project forwards PolicyE.4 by enhancing a desirable featurereliable wireless servicewhile preserving the desirable features and identity of the neighborhood. The proposed telecommunication facility, a monopine, is designed to blend in with the otherevergreen trees in the area. The ancillary equipment shed will be an extension of the existing chapel on the property, and will match the existing architecture of that structure. Public Facilities and Services Element (Services Element): The statement of intent for the Services Element notes, As the population of the Eugene-Springfield area increases and land development patterns change over time, the demand for urban services also increases and changes. These changes require that service providers, both public and private, plan for the provision of services in a coordinated manner, using consistent assumptions and projections for population and land use. Goal 1 of the Services Element states, “Provide and maintain public facilities and services in an efficient and environmentally responsible manner.” The proposed project forwards the intent of the Services Element and its Goal 1 by providing reliable communications services to the community, and doing so in a manner that encourages future collocation of other providers. Collocation avoids the need for construction of additional telecommunication facilities, thus promoting the efficient and environmentally responsible provision of public services, as stated in Goal 1. The proposed project also forwards policies under the Services Element. Policy G1 states, Extend the minimum level and full range of key urban facilities and services in an orderly and efficient manner consistent with the growth and management policies in Chapter II-C, relevant policies in this chapter, and other Metro Plan policies. Wireless services are key to growing urban areaspeople rely on the ability to use their phones and other wireless devices at work and at home, both indoors and outdoors. The proposed project will extend wireless service to the surrounding community in an orderly and efficient manner as Site ID: EG46 Fox Hollow & Amazon RoadPage 17of 22 outlined in Eugene’s city code. (See above.) Policy G7 states, “Service providers shall coordinate the provision of facilities and services to areas targeted by the cities for higher densities, infill, mixed uses, and nodal development.” As noted above, the proposed monopine is sited within the UGB, and would accommodate at least two carriers, allowing the opportunity for service providers to coordinate collocation and serve a growing population. (2)The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposal are reasonably compatible with and have minimal impact on the livability or appropriate development of surrounding property, as they relate to the following factors: (a)The proposed building(s) mass and scale are physically suitable for the type and density of use being proposed. (b) The proposed structures, parking lots, outdoor use areas or other site improvements which could cause substantial off-site impacts such as noise, glare and odors are oriented away from nearby residential uses and/or are adequately mitigated through other design techniques, such as screening and increased setbacks. (c) If the proposal involves a residential use, the project is designed, sited and/or adequately buffered to minimize off-site impacts which could adversely affect the future residents of the subject property. Response: As described above, the proposed telecommunication facility is designed to have minimal impact on the surrounding property. The monopine is designed to look like other evergreen trees in the immediate area, and the ancillary equipment shed will look like (and function as, in part) an extension of the chapel already existing on the property. The project meets the noise and setback requirements of the EC. (3) The location, design, and related features of the proposal provides a convenient and functional living, working, shopping or civic environment, and is as attractive as the nature of the use and its location and setting warrant. Response: As described above, the proposed facility will look like other trees and structures in the neighborhood. Further, the enhanced wireless service provided by the proposed project would add convenience and functionality to the surrounding areas. (4) The proposal demonstrates adequate and safe circulation exists for the following: (a)Vehicular access to and from the proposed site, and on-site circulation and emergency response. Site ID: EG46 Fox Hollow & Amazon RoadPage 18of 22 (b) Pedestrian, bicycle and transit circulation, including related facilities, as needed among buildings and related uses on the development site, as well as to adjacent and nearby residential areas, transit stops, neighborhood activity centers, office parks, and industrial parks, provided the city makes findings to demonstrate consistency with constitutional requirements. “Nearby” means uses within 1/4 mile that can reasonably be expected to be used by pedestrians, and uses within 2 miles that can reasonably be expected to be used by bicyclists. Response: The proposed project will have no impact on the existing vehicular access to and from the proposed site, or to pedestrian, bicycle and transit circulation. (5) The proposal is designed and sited to minimize impacts to the natural environment by addressing the following: (a) Protection of Natural Features. 1.For areas not included on the city’s acknowledged Goal 5 inventory, the preservation of significant natural features to the greatest degree attainable or feasible, including: a. Significant on-site vegetation, including rare plants (those that are proposed for listing or are listed under state or federal law), and native plant communities. b. All documented habitat for all rare animal species (those that are proposed for listing or are listed under state or federal law). c. Prominent topographic features, such as ridgelines and rock outcrops. d. Wetlands, intermittent and perennial stream corridors and riparian areas. e. Natural resource areas designated in the Metro Plandiagram as “Natural Resource” and areas identified in any city-adopted natural resource inventory. 2. For areas included on the city’s acknowledged Goal 5 inventory, the preservation of natural features shall be consistent with the acknowledged level of preservation provided for the area. (b) Tree Preservation. The proposed project shall be designed and sited to preserve significant trees to the greatest degree attainable or feasible, with trees having the following characteristics given the highest priority for preservation: Site ID: EG46 Fox Hollow & Amazon RoadPage 19of 22 1. Healthy trees that have a reasonable chance of survival considering the base zone or special area zone designation and other applicable approval criteria 2. Trees located within vegetated corridors and stands rather than individual isolated trees subject to windthrow. 3. Trees that fulfill a screening function, provide relief from glare, or shade expansive areas of pavement. 4. Trees that provide a buffer between potentially incompatible land uses. 5. Trees located along the perimeter of the lot(s) and within building setback areas. 6. Trees and stands of trees located along ridgelines and within view corridors. 7. Trees with significant habitat value 8. Trees adjacent to public parks, open space and streets. 9. Trees along water features. 10. Heritage trees. (c) Restoration or Replacement. 1. For areas not included on the city’s acknowledged Goal 5 inventory, the proposal mitigates, to the greatest degree attainable or feasible, the loss of significant natural features described in criteria (a) and (b) above, through the restoration or replacement of natural features such as: a. Planting of replacement trees within common areas; or b.Re-vegetation of slopes, ridgelines, and streamcorridors; or c. Restoration of fish and wildlife habitat, native plant habitat, wetland areas, and riparian vegetation. To the extent applicable, restoration or replacement shall be in compliance with the planting and replacement standards of EC 6.320. Site ID: EG46 Fox Hollow & Amazon RoadPage 20of 22 2. For areas included on the city’s acknowledged Goal 5 inventory, any loss of natural features shall be consistent with the acknowledged level of preservation provided for the resource. (d) Street Trees. If the proposal includes removal of any street tree(s), removal of those street tree(s) has been approved, or approved with conditions according to the process at EC 6.305 of this code. Response: The proposed project will have minimal impact on the natural environment. Trees and landscaping in the area will remain intact. (6) The proposal provides adequate public facilities and services including, but not limited to utilities, streets, and other infrastructure. Response: The proposed project would not create a need for additional public facilities or services. The proposed project would add to enhanced wireless service to the existing public services in the area. (7) The proposal does not create any significant risk to public health and safety, including but not limited to soil erosion and flood hazard, or an impediment to emergency response. Response: The proposed facility will notcreate any significant risk to public health and safety. The proposed project may enhance emergency communications. (8) The proposal complies with all applicable standards, including but not limited to: (a)EC 9.2000 through 9.3915 regarding lot dimensions, solar standards, and density requirements for the subject zone; (b) EC 9.6500 through EC 9.6505 Public Improvement Standards; (c) EC 9.6735 Public Access Required.

For purposes of calculating “net density,” the acreage of land considered shall include the entire development site and exclude public property, such as public streets, parks, and other public facilities. In considering whether to grant a modification to the density requirements, the hearings official shall evaluate the following factors: 1. The availability of the development site for residential use on August 1, 2001. The term “availability” in this section shall include consideration of whether the site was already developed with non- residential uses or had other site constraints impacting its suitability for residential use. 2. The necessity of the development site to be developed with residential uses to be able to achieve the minimum residential density for the area designated on the Metro Plan Land Use Diagram for either medium- or high-density residential use. 3. Adopted plan policies indicate the suitability and appropriateness of the site for non-residential use. An approved adjustment to a standard pursuant to the provisions beginning at EC 9.8015 of this land use code constitutes compliance with the standard. Additional criteria may also be required based on the applicability of other sections of this land use code. Response: As described above, the project complies with all applicable standards in the EC. (9) The proposal complies with the Traffic Impact Analysis Review provisions of EC 9.8650 through 9.8680 where applicable. Response: The proposed project will have no impact on traffic. 7.

February 11, 2014 Danielle Page Lexcom Development 615 8th Avenue South Seattle, WA 98104 Re: Acoustical Report AT&T EG46 Fox Hollow Road & Amazon Road Site: 4060 W. Amazon Drive, Eugene, OR 97405 Dear Danielle, This report presents a property line noise study for the proposed AT&T telecommunications facility at 4060 West Amazon Drive in Eugene, Oregon. This noise study extends from the proposed equipment to the nearest receiving properties. The purpose of this report is to document the existing conditions and the impacts of the acoustical changes due to the proposed equipment. This report contains data on the existing and predicted noise environments, impact criteria and an evaluation of the predicted sound levels as they relate to the criteria. Ambient Conditions Existing ambient noise levels were measured on site with a Larson-Davis 820 sound level meter on February 6, 2014. Measurements were conducted as close to the receiving property lines nearest the proposed location as possible in accordance with Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) 340-35-035 subsection (3)(b). The average ambient noise level was 49 dB(A), primarily due to local traffic on Amazon Road. The weather during the measurements was cloudy and the roads were snowy. Code Requirements The site is located within the City of Eugene Zoning jurisdiction on property with an R-1 (Residential) zoning designation. All of the receiving properties are also zoned Residential. The proposed new equipment consists of equipment support cabinets, which are expected to run intermittently 24 hours a day. Eugene City Code Chapter 9.5750.7.f limits noise being received by an R-1 or other residential property to 45 dBA. 222 Etruria Street, Suite 100 Seattle, WA 98109 206.839.0819 P // 206.839.0824 F AT&T EG46 Fox Hollow Road & Amazon Road Page 2 Predicted Equipment Sound Levels 24-Hour Operation Equipment The equipment will be located in an equipment room served by two Marviar air conditioning units. According to manufacturer data, the Marvair AVP36 air-conditioning which each produce 70 dB(A) at 5 feet. The combined noise level from both units is 73 dBA at 5 feet. To predict equipment noise levels at the receiving properties, this survey uses the methods established by ASHRAE and AHRI Standard 275-2010. Application factors such as location, height, and reflective surfaces, and noise reduction from intervening elements are accounted for in predicting the sound level at the receiving properties. The nearest receiving property line is approximately 113 feet West of the equipment and 129 feet South of the equipment. The predicted sound level at the nearest property line is shown in the table below. Table 1 Application Factors and Predicted Noise Levels Proposed New Equipment Line Application Factor W S Equipment Sound Pressure Level at 5 ft., L 73 1 73 PS Building Edge Reduction 2 -5 Distance Factor (DF) -27 -28 3 DF = 20 log(D/D) (113 ft) (129 ft) 1012 4 New Equipment Sound Pressure Level at Receiver, L 41 45 PR As shown in the table, the predicted sound pressure level from the proposed equipment at the nearest receiving properties will meet the 45 dBA code limit.
