HISTORY:
In October of 2002, City Council approved a Site Plan
request to allow a 1,558 square foot expansion to the
existing 29,500 square foot church facility. In addition, 24
new parking spaces were added to accommodate the
enlarged building. The overall approved development
package included a porte cochere, a new rotunda. a
breezeway connecting the main church building to an
existing 11 ,000 square foot building to its rear, and
colonnade walls provided for architectural interest. The
breezeway has yet to be constructed.
TRANSPORTATION:
Heartz Road in a C2U, two-lane undivided roadway built to
standard in a 50 foot right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North-Single family residential; PD-166-SF-7
South -Single family residential; SF-7
East -Single family residential; SF-7
West -Single family residential; SF-7
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan, as amended, shows the property
as suitable for a variety of institutional uses including the
church and ancillary uses.
DISCUSSION:
This is a request to allow T-Mobile to locate three cell tower
antennas inside a 70 foot tall church bell tower and place
appropriate radio equipment cabinets at its base. The tower
is being constructed in order to provide a stealth facility for
the antenna request.
The base is proposed to be a 20 foot square area with a 9
foot tall masonry screening wall to hide the equipment. The
wall will be constructed out of the same material as the
building, painted in the same colors, thereby being
compatible with the existing structure. The applicant has
provided simulation photos showing what the tower (and
construction materials to be used) will look like when
competed.
Placed inside the bell tower, the antennas will be hidden
from public view, thereby eliminating any possible visual
distraction to the surrounding neighborhood. There will be
three antennas, each 6 feet tall. 7 inches wide, and 3 inches

thick. They will be located 67 feet above grade to ensure
proper service is provided to customers. The bell tower itself
will be non-operational with no ringing of bells.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
staff is recommending APPROVAL of this request subject to the following
condition:
1. Delineate the dimensions of the planting area and number of wax
myrtles being located on the east side of the building (to replace landscaping
removed by this proposal).
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend approval of the request
2. Recommend disapproval of the request
3. Recommend modification of the request
4. Take under advisement for reconsideration at a later date
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Overall Site Plan (Sheet C-2)
2. Enlarged Tower Plan (Sheet C-3)
3. Tower Elevation (Sheet C-4)
4. Photo Simulation of Proposed Tower (3 photos)
