PUBLIC HEARING
1. PDR10-0005; 14091 Quito Road (403-22-004); T-Mobile (Sutro Consulting) / PGE - The applicant is
requesting Design Review approval for a wireless telecommunication antenna on a wood utility pole. An
existing 29.7’ pole would be replaced with a 45’ 5” pole. The pole would be similar in height to other poles
in the vicinity. The facility is considered a “micro site” because the antennas and associated equipment are
smaller in size than a standard wireless facility. The antennas would be placed at the top of the pole and the
associated equipment would be placed on the ground. City Code Section 15-12.020 states any antenna
facilities operated by a public utility for transmitting and receiving cellular telephone and other wireless
communications, is subject to design review under Article 15-46. The proposed wireless facility therefore
requires Planning Commission review. (Cynthia McCormick) (Approved, 7:0)
