Applicant: Sprint PCS
Following the public hearing on this matter, Council discussion ensued.
Councilmember Bist noted that the proposed mono -pole is located
approximately 68 feet north of the multi -family development on Central and
this is not consistent with the City's siting guideline of 140 feet. She further
noted that this distance represents more that a 50% variance from the
guideline and that she could not support approval of the Conditional Use
Permit. Councilmember Solorio asked the Sprint representative if other
sites were evaluated. Councilmember Franklin suggested that future
Conditional Use Permits for this purpose include the requirement for
removal of obsolete equipment. Mayor Pulido requested that, at a future
work study session, changes in city policy be considered including the
requirement for a bond
Motion: Continue matter two weeks and instruct the City Attorney to prepare a
resolution denying the Conditional Use Permit.
