1 BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS RESOLUTION NO RZ RESOLUTION CONSTITUTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AUTHORIZING THE USE OF PROPERTY DESCRIBED IN CONDITIONAL USE APPLICATION NO. CU17-26 FOR A 145- FOOT ABOVE GROUND LEVEL MONOPOLE WIRELESS FACILITY (WF) IN A C-2 GENERAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT. WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Pasco County on August 29, 2017, held a public hearing, after due public notice, on Conditional Use Application No. CU17-26; and WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners has heard the presentation of the applicant and individuals in opposition to and in favor of the application; and WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners has reviewed the report and recommendations of the Planning Commission and the recommendations of County staff; and the following findings of fact: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The subject site contains a recreational vehicle and boat storage facility consisting of covered and open storage. 2. The applicant, together with the co-applicant and anchor tenant T-Mobile, propose a 145-foot AGL, monopole WF (140 foot monopole with a 5 foot lightning rod), suitable for the colocation of two additional carriers (total of three carriers), located within a proposed 3,600-square-foot fenced compound area (lease parcel). 3. Access to the overall site is from Shoppers Way, a privately-maintained road. Access to the WF compound/lease area is proposed through a 20-foot-wide access easement, located off of Shoppers Way. The subject site is located in Flood Zone "AE" and development is subject to the requirements of the Land Development Code (LDC), Section 1104, Flood Damage Prevention. 4. The surrounding area is characterized by commercial uses. 5. The subject area has been designated ROR (Retail/Office/Residential) under the Comprehensive Plan.

2 6. On May 9, 2017, the subject proposed use was found exempt from a Timing and Phasing Analysis and ANALYSIS: Substandard Road Review (T&P17-52); once constructed the WF will generate approximately one vehicle trip per month per carrier collocated on the WF. Roads providing access to the WF are understood to meet the minimum standards of the LDC Section No further analysis is required. 7. In accordance with the LDC, Sections Tier Three, Development Standards and Submittal Requirements, the applicants have submitted the required documentation for a Tier Three, 145-foot AGL, monopole WF including, but not limited to the following: a. Overall Narrative. Eco-Site respectfully requests a Tier Three Conditional Use for 9411 Shoppers Way, Port Richey to allow the construction of a 145 AGL Monopole Wireless Facility and related fenced compound and power meter/telco rack. The 2.65 acre parcel currently hosts covered and uncovered open storage. Eco-Site s leased area consists of 3,600 square feet. The parent parcel currently carries a Retail/Office/Residential Future Land Use Designation and a General Commercial (C-2) Zoning Designation. The monopole will be tucked away in the northwest corner of the parent parcel, near existing off-site big box stores. Additionally, existing mature vegetation is located off-site to the north and east of the proposed monopole. Therefore, the monopole s visibility from normal views is minimized. The 145 AGL monopole is the minimum height necessary for T-Mobile to achieve its RF objective. The monopole will additionally minimize its visibility by employing simplified T- Arm headframes instead of normal bulkier designs, which employ catwalks. Eco-Site proposes to route the cabling for the monopole s antennas within the monopole itself. This will allow the monopole to appear a slim dull grey structure, which will better blend into the background of the sky. Eco-Site respectfully requests to use the currently existing, established, 10 wide landscape buffer that currently surrounds the parent parcel in lieu of a buffer provided at the compound Page 2 of 6 C:\Program Files (x86)\neevia.com\docconverterpro\temp\nvdc\30385ab7-6f e48-668ad0f0ef8f\62777.docx

3 fence. The established landscape buffer has a 2-year head start on any buffer that would be planted at the compound fence. Additionally, a buffer on the east and south sides of the compound would only buffer the compound from the internal storage yard on the parent parcel as the existing parent buffer, which is closer to the right-of-way, will appear larger relative to the tower and provide better screening than a buffer located at the compound fence would. b. A site-specific evaluation (EmbassyFL0067) was conducted for surfaces identified in Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 77 and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules Part 17 by SiteSafe RF Compliance Experts. In accordance with site evaluation results notice to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is not required. SiteSafe does not consider this site to be a Hazard to Air Navigation as specified in FAR Part 77. c. Documentation of location and site-selection process, including search ring, location and siting criteria, opportunity sites in the area, location, and site-selection methodology. The applicants have provided the following information: No approved or unbuilt towers currently exist within 1,500 feet of the proposed monopole. No other suitable towers or tall structures are available to T-Mobile within the search ring. The 145 AGL monopole is the minimum height necessary for T-Mobile to achieve its RF objective. T-Mobile plans to provide wireless coverage and capacity to the commercial areas along Regency Park Boulevard and Embassy Boulevard. This location is needed for capacity to offload from other sites and allow better customer connectivity. The proposed monopole will improve the quality of life of the immediate neighborhood by providing improved wireless coverage in the area.

4 d. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Aviation and Spaceports Office correspondence in which it has cited no concerns with the proposed structure. A permit from the FDOT Aviation and Spaceports Office is not required as it has confirmed that the proposed construction does not exceed federal obstruction standards. 14. On May 20, 2017, the owner/applicant held a neighborhood meeting, in accordance with the provisions of the LDC Section 305. The neighborhood meeting summary package is attached and incorporated herein. 15. According to the Pasco County Geographic Information System s WF layer, there are no WF within one mile of the subject request 16. Per review of public-use airports in the area, staff has noted that the request does not fall within ten nautical-mile radius of the geographical center of a publicly owned and operated airport, military airport, or an airport licensed by the state for public use (FS (1)). 17. The following technical review comments were received from Arthur K. Peters, P.E., Pasco County s WF consulting engineer: I have read the petitioner s request and have analyzed its contents with reference to the Pasco County LDC, Section 1002, Wireless Facilities. Verification of the petitioner s technical statements was performed. Studied items included tower separation distances, antenna heights and radiated powers with respect to surrounding cells, estimated non-ionizing radiation levels for the initial T-Mobile build and available alternative structures. Verification of applicant s estimates of service area improvement were also studied. Technical and radio engineering aspects of this petition were studied with regard to conclusions stated in the application. This includes assignment to Tier Three, the need for the service and adherence to County technical requirements. Based upon technical data provided by petitioner, it is my opinion that this petition meets the technical requirements of Section 1002 of the LDC.
