Present Land Use
The +\-19,000 sf parcel is developed with an existing 24' high 1/2 million gallon water tank for community services needs. The fire department and community service districts' radio antennas are currently on the top of his water tank. This height is unacceptable in terms of maximizing distances and line-of-site communications for both facilities. The adjacent small parcel to the orth is also developed with a pump house and booster tank which are associated with the water tank on the subject parcel.
GPD: Residential Low Density (RL). Eureka Community Plan (ECP). Density 1-6 units per acre.
Z: Residential Single Family - 6,000 sf minimum parcel size (R-1*).
Document Description
The development of a 100' tall triangular lattice radio tower (96"at base and will taper to 48" at top). The tower will be shared by Humboldt #1 Fire and Humboldt CSD for their radio/communications needs only. The parcel is 18,975 sf in size and is currently developed with a 24' tall 1/2 million gallon water tank for community water service needs and 117 sf equipment shed. The two existing trees will remain; one is a +/- 54' tall cypress, in an effort to buffer the visual effects of the tower from neighboring properties. The tower will use existing utilities at the site and not require new sewer or water facilities. According to the plot plan submitted by the fire district, the nearest residence is +\- 100' to the NW of the proposed radio tower. The SP is for an exception to exceed the 35' height limit of the R-1 zone.
