DESCRIPTION OF APPLICANT'S REQUEST
The applicant, Daniel Jameson, requests Certificate of Zoning Compliance (CZC) and
Administrative Design Review (DES) approval of a new telecommunications utility building
and a 50’ monopole receiver tower on .662 acres of land in the I-L zoning district.
The site is located at 1050 N. Hickory Avenue.
DECISION
The applicant's request for Certificate of Zoning Compliance and Administrative Design
Review is approved with the conditions listed in this report.
Note: This is not a building permit. Please contact Building Services at (208) 887-2211 to
verify if you need a building permit and/or inspection. If you do need a building permit, you
must complete that process before you commence the use or construction. Please contact
Building Services for additional details about building permits and inspections.
ANALYSIS
The applicant has chosen to heavily screen the site due to the nature of the proposed telecom
utility building being a precast concrete building. Without the screening, this building would
not meet our design review standards. Staff has reviewed the fencing detail as well as the
landscape plans and approve this method of screening and design.
Site Conditions of Approval
1. The applicant shall construct all proposed fencing and/or any fencing required by the
UDC, consistent with the standards as set forth in UDC 11-3A-7 and 11-3A-6B.
2. The proposed driveway to N. Hickory Avenue does not meet ACHD policy on curb-cut
separations on collector roadways. However, ACHD staff recommends a modification
to the policy due to the low number of vehicle trip generations that will occur at this
site. The applicant shall construct the driveway as a curb return type driveway with a
20-foot wide curb cut located 30-feet north of the southern property line, per the ACHD
comment letter.
Process Conditions of Approval
1. No signs are approved with this application. Prior to installing any signs on the property,
the applicant shall submit a sign permit application consistent with the standards in
UDC Chapter 3 Article D and receive approval for such signs.
