Project Description: (Summary of the intended use or project purpose)
The applicant, Actualize LLC on behalf of Verizon Wireless, is requesting an Environmental (SEPA) Review, a Shoreline
Substantial Development Permit (SSDP), and a minor revision to an approved Administrative Conditional Use Permit to
install a concealed wireless communications facility (WCF) on the rooftop of an existing two-story commercial office
building located at 2003 Maple Valley Hwy (Parcel #1723059103). The project was originally approved in 2018 (LUA17-
000869) and, at that time, the equipment cabinets were proposed to be located inside the existing building. After
approval of the SSDP and Administrative Conditional Use Permit, additional investigations by the applicant found that
installing the equipment inside of the building was not structurally feasible. Therefore, the applicant has proposed
locating the equipment cabinet in a new enclosure on the west side of the existing building. Due to the new proposal to
locate the equipment within 200 feet of the Cedar River Shoreline ordinary high water mark (OHWM), the applicant is
requesting a new SSDP, new SEPA threshold determination, and a minor revision to the approved Administrative
Conditional Use Permit. The new proposal includes the installation of four panel antennas on the rooftop, as was
approved as part of the original project. The four antennas would be screened by two 24 square foot RF-porous
enclosures approximately eight (8) feet in height (two panels per enclosure). The proposal also includes the installation
of an equipment cabinet approximately 150 sq. ft. in size that would be affixed to the west side of the existing building.
Cabling contained within a covered exterior chase painted to match the façade would connect the equipment to the
antennas on the roof of the building. A utility connection would be utilized to bring power to the equipment enclosure. A
six (6) foot tall stucco flex fence would be installed around the enclosure, as well as nine (9) new shrubs. The subject
parcel is 1.87 acres in size and has a zoning designation of COR, Commercial-Office-Residential, as well as an Urban
Design District C Overlay. The parcel has a Comprehensive Plan Land Use designation of Commercial-Office-
Residential. Critical areas mapped on-site include a high seismic hazard, protected slopes, a special flood hazard area,
Channel Migration Zone (severe), and a Wellhead Protection Area Zone 1. The site is located within the Cedar River
Reach C Regulated Shoreline area with a designation of Shoreline High Intensity. The applicant has proposed
approximately 150 sq. ft. of new impervious surface in addition to minor vegetation removal. No trees are proposed for
removal. The applicant submitted a SEPA checklist and General Habitat Area Review report with the application.
