Vertical Bridge LLC is applying to construct a 165-foot cell tower on a vacant 10-acre parcel in the R5 zoning district, which requires a Type 3 preliminary site plan review and a concurrent conditional use permit. The development review evaluated the project's compliance with minimum setback requirements, landscape screening, and the applicant's justification for building a new structure rather than co-locating on existing wireless facilities. Additionally, the applicant and development engineers debated a proposed condition of approval that would require the offsite rural access road to be widened to a 20-foot pavement standard.
