proposed use is located, in that the community benefits of wireless communicatio
include improved telecommunications service for emergency services a1
individuals; the use is within an existing light industrial building and requires :
significant changes to the site design or function, and the site’s Planned Industr
land use designation does not preclude the provision of quasi-public utility uses.
2. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use,
that the proposed improvements will be within the existing industrial building whi
conforms to the development standards of the Planned Industrial zone without t.
