BackgroundInformation
Condition AssessmentlFAA 648017 Evaluation MLB ATCT - Melbourne FL
2211 AIR TRAFFIC - CHAPTER 6 - FAA ORDER 648017
FAA Order 648017 sets forth procedures for analyzing existing FAA-operated terminal air traffic control facilities relative to the scope of modernization work required or establishing justification for facility replacement Most of the existing FAA terminal air traffic control facilities and supporting space has surpassed their 20-year life span The need for major modification or replacement of these facilities must be determined in order to ensure the success of the FAA mission
The following is a summary of the ATCT Air Traffic Evaluation Worksheet (Chapter 6) which provides information to support in-depth evaluation of air traffic control functions from an operational point of view The complete Chapter 6 evaluation for FAA Order 648017 can be found in Appendix 5 (pages 8 to 25)
Some of the more significant operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The ATCT Cab height is too low It is extremely difficult to differentiate between taxiways and runways from the Cab and hence to determine the location of the aircraft The runways layout and length when the ATCT was originally built were quite different than the current arrangement Thus the increased distance to the far end of some runways and taxiways creates a considerable depth perception problem with the Cabs low height The problem is particularly acute at night
bull The lCSS system needs to be replacedupgraded
Some of the more significant non-operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The temperature for the 4th Floor varies considerably
bull There are on-going leak issues with the Cab roof and the roof beneath the Catwalk This issue has been addressed periodically with the most recent fix being done in the past few months Moisture is getting into the building and creating mold and mildew issues
bull The slot windows at the comers of the ATCT are experiencing leak issues much like to aforementioned roof problems The recent experience with Tropical Storm Fay resulted in considerable moisture getting into the facility from these windows A project to reseal the windows is planned for the near future
bull All the moisture created from the aforementioned leaks has created a mold mildew and corrosion problem throughout the facility The corrosion problem is partiCUlarly acute in the unconditioned spaces on the First Floor In addition in the unconditioned space there is a considerable amount of flaking paint (assumed lead-based) from the structural steel and other painted metal surfaces
A diagram of the airport showing the ATCT location on the airport property as well as the runway and taxiway configurations is provided at the end of Appendix 7

This email is in response to your letter received October 15 2015 regarding potential environmental issues associated with the air traffic control tower replacement at Melbourne International Airport Based on drawings attached to your letter it does not appear that jurisdictional waters of the United States would be affected by the proposed project If that is indeed the case the US Army Corps of Engineers has no jurisdiction over the project area If there are federally listed species in the project area you will need to contact the United States Fish and Wildlife Service directly
If the project location changes such that there are questions concerning jurisdictional waters of the United States please feel free to give me a call

RE Consultation - Environmental Assessment Air Traffic Control Tower Replacement Melbourne International Airport
The Melbourne Airport Authority is proposing to construct a new Air Traffic Control Tower (ATeT) facility at the Melbourne International Airport (MLB) to replace the aging FAA ATCT To comply with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations and policies regarding the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) the Airport Authority is preparing an Environmental Assessment (EA) to document the potential environmental impacts associated with the development of the Dew ATCT project The EA report will be submitted to the FAA for review for acceptance with a determination as a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) or evidence for preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
The proposed project consists of the construction ofa 138-foottall precast concrete air traffic control tower immediatelyadjacent to the existing Tower The project anticipates using the existing access road parking lot and utilities Construction will occur primarily on a lot previously disturbed by airport development
Quadrex Aviation LLC is serving as an authorized agent of the Airport Authority for preparing the draft EA report and coordinating the consultation with concerned agencies We are sending you this preliminary notification for

RE Conditional Use Request (CU-2016-07) with Site Plan Approval (SP-2016-05) Melbourne Airport Authority Air Traffic Control Tower Replacement
DATE April 21 2016
OwnerApplicantRepresentative Melbourne Airport Authority OwnerApplicant Brian Pendleton Airport Engineering Co Inc Representative
Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the
Melbourne International Airport on a 16plusmn acre airport site
Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan

Land Use Industrial
Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code
6 The Conditional Use must meet the r~quirements of City Code and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area public facilities and private commercial andor service facilities available within the area More specifically the proposed changes should not cause depreciation of property values or reduce the safety light and general convenience of neighboring developments
a The appearance and function of the surrounding area will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed Conditional Use since the subject site is located on property owned by the Melbourne International Airport The proposed height of the tower is governed by the FAA
b The application does not appear to impact the preservation of any City state or federally designated historic scenic archaeological or cultural resources
c The proposed project should not change the general character of the area since a variety of industrial and ayiation related uses are located in the vicinity of the subject property The proposed development is compatible with other development at the Melbourne international Airport and the building style and scale are proportionate and consistent to Airport area uses
d The application will not have significant adverse impacts on the livability and usability of nearby land due to noise dust fumes smoke glare from lights late-night operations odors truck and other delivery trips the amount location and nature of any outside displays storage or activities potential for increased litter and privacy and safety issues
e The proposed air traffic control tower is not located in proximity to any residential areas
7 Adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject property The site has direct access to NASA Boulevard The proposed use does not have a detrimental impact on the transportamiddot~on system since adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject site
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 15
8 The proposed Conditional Use is in compliance with the standards outlined in City Code Appendix B Article V Section 2 (use and dimensional standards table) and Appendix B Article IX Section 5 (Conditional Uses)
9 The applicant shall demonstrate prior to construction plan approval the financial and technical capacity to complete any improvements and the mitigation necessitated by the development as proposed and has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision of such improvements and mitigation
tbull
10 The proposed use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the particular provision of these regulations authorizing such use and by all other applicable requirements of the regulations of the City including but not limited to Article IX Section 6 site plan review standards
Recommendation Based on the findings presented above for the project located on 16plusmn acres located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road (aka 911 Tower Access Road) the Community Development Department recommends
A Approval of CU-2016-07 to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn feet of height) for the new air traffic control tower at the Melbourne International Airport) and
B Approval of SP-2016-05 to construct a 10758plusmn-foot tall air traffic control tower on 16plusmn acres at the Melbourne International Airport zoned M-1 on a 3-sheet site plan prepared by Airport Engineering Co Inc of Rockledge Florida Project Number 1412 with a signed and sealed date of April 13 2016 with the following conditions

BackgroundInformation
Condition AssessmentlFAA 648017 Evaluation MLB ATCT - Melbourne FL
2211 AIR TRAFFIC - CHAPTER 6 - FAA ORDER 648017
FAA Order 648017 sets forth procedures for analyzing existing FAA-operated terminal air traffic control facilities relative to the scope of modernization work required or establishing justification for facility replacement Most of the existing FAA terminal air traffic control facilities and supporting space has surpassed their 20-year life span The need for major modification or replacement of these facilities must be determined in order to ensure the success of the FAA mission
The following is a summary of the ATCT Air Traffic Evaluation Worksheet (Chapter 6) which provides information to support in-depth evaluation of air traffic control functions from an operational point of view The complete Chapter 6 evaluation for FAA Order 648017 can be found in Appendix 5 (pages 8 to 25)
Some of the more significant operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The ATCT Cab height is too low It is extremely difficult to differentiate between taxiways and runways from the Cab and hence to determine the location of the aircraft The runways layout and length when the ATCT was originally built were quite different than the current arrangement Thus the increased distance to the far end of some runways and taxiways creates a considerable depth perception problem with the Cabs low height The problem is particularly acute at night
bull The lCSS system needs to be replacedupgraded
Some of the more significant non-operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The temperature for the 4th Floor varies considerably
bull There are on-going leak issues with the Cab roof and the roof beneath the Catwalk This issue has been addressed periodically with the most recent fix being done in the past few months Moisture is getting into the building and creating mold and mildew issues
bull The slot windows at the comers of the ATCT are experiencing leak issues much like to aforementioned roof problems The recent experience with Tropical Storm Fay resulted in considerable moisture getting into the facility from these windows A project to reseal the windows is planned for the near future
bull All the moisture created from the aforementioned leaks has created a mold mildew and corrosion problem throughout the facility The corrosion problem is partiCUlarly acute in the unconditioned spaces on the First Floor In addition in the unconditioned space there is a considerable amount of flaking paint (assumed lead-based) from the structural steel and other painted metal surfaces
A diagram of the airport showing the ATCT location on the airport property as well as the runway and taxiway configurations is provided at the end of Appendix 7

RE Conditional Use Request (CU-2016-07) with Site Plan Approval (SP-2016-05) Melbourne Airport Authority Air Traffic Control Tower Replacement
DATE April 21 2016
OwnerApplicantRepresentative Melbourne Airport Authority OwnerApplicant Brian Pendleton Airport Engineering Co Inc Representative
Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the
Melbourne International Airport on a 16plusmn acre airport site
Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan

Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code
6 The Conditional Use must meet the r~quirements of City Code and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area public facilities and private commercial andor service facilities available within the area More specifically the proposed changes should not cause depreciation of property values or reduce the safety light and general convenience of neighboring developments
a The appearance and function of the surrounding area will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed Conditional Use since the subject site is located on property owned by the Melbourne International Airport The proposed height of the tower is governed by the FAA
b The application does not appear to impact the preservation of any City state or federally designated historic scenic archaeological or cultural resources
c The proposed project should not change the general character of the area since a variety of industrial and ayiation related uses are located in the vicinity of the subject property The proposed development is compatible with other development at the Melbourne international Airport and the building style and scale are proportionate and consistent to Airport area uses
d The application will not have significant adverse impacts on the livability and usability of nearby land due to noise dust fumes smoke glare from lights late-night operations odors truck and other delivery trips the amount location and nature of any outside displays storage or activities potential for increased litter and privacy and safety issues
e The proposed air traffic control tower is not located in proximity to any residential areas
7 Adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject property The site has direct access to NASA Boulevard The proposed use does not have a detrimental impact on the transportamiddot~on system since adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject site
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 15
8 The proposed Conditional Use is in compliance with the standards outlined in City Code Appendix B Article V Section 2 (use and dimensional standards table) and Appendix B Article IX Section 5 (Conditional Uses)
9 The applicant shall demonstrate prior to construction plan approval the financial and technical capacity to complete any improvements and the mitigation necessitated by the development as proposed and has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision of such improvements and mitigation
tbull
10 The proposed use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the particular provision of these regulations authorizing such use and by all other applicable requirements of the regulations of the City including but not limited to Article IX Section 6 site plan review standards
Recommendation Based on the findings presented above for the project located on 16plusmn acres located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road (aka 911 Tower Access Road) the Community Development Department recommends

BackgroundInformation
Condition AssessmentlFAA 648017 Evaluation MLB ATCT - Melbourne FL
2211 AIR TRAFFIC - CHAPTER 6 - FAA ORDER 648017
FAA Order 648017 sets forth procedures for analyzing existing FAA-operated terminal air traffic control facilities relative to the scope of modernization work required or establishing justification for facility replacement Most of the existing FAA terminal air traffic control facilities and supporting space has surpassed their 20-year life span The need for major modification or replacement of these facilities must be determined in order to ensure the success of the FAA mission
The following is a summary of the ATCT Air Traffic Evaluation Worksheet (Chapter 6) which provides information to support in-depth evaluation of air traffic control functions from an operational point of view The complete Chapter 6 evaluation for FAA Order 648017 can be found in Appendix 5 (pages 8 to 25)
Some of the more significant operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The ATCT Cab height is too low It is extremely difficult to differentiate between taxiways and runways from the Cab and hence to determine the location of the aircraft The runways layout and length when the ATCT was originally built were quite different than the current arrangement Thus the increased distance to the far end of some runways and taxiways creates a considerable depth perception problem with the Cabs low height The problem is particularly acute at night
bull The lCSS system needs to be replacedupgraded
Some of the more significant non-operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The temperature for the 4th Floor varies considerably
bull There are on-going leak issues with the Cab roof and the roof beneath the Catwalk This issue has been addressed periodically with the most recent fix being done in the past few months Moisture is getting into the building and creating mold and mildew issues
bull The slot windows at the comers of the ATCT are experiencing leak issues much like to aforementioned roof problems The recent experience with Tropical Storm Fay resulted in considerable moisture getting into the facility from these windows A project to reseal the windows is planned for the near future
bull All the moisture created from the aforementioned leaks has created a mold mildew and corrosion problem throughout the facility The corrosion problem is partiCUlarly acute in the unconditioned spaces on the First Floor In addition in the unconditioned space there is a considerable amount of flaking paint (assumed lead-based) from the structural steel and other painted metal surfaces
A diagram of the airport showing the ATCT location on the airport property as well as the runway and taxiway configurations is provided at the end of Appendix 7

This email is in response to your letter received October 15 2015 regarding potential environmental issues associated with the air traffic control tower replacement at Melbourne International Airport Based on drawings attached to your letter it does not appear that jurisdictional waters of the United States would be affected by the proposed project If that is indeed the case the US Army Corps of Engineers has no jurisdiction over the project area If there are federally listed species in the project area you will need to contact the United States Fish and Wildlife Service directly
If the project location changes such that there are questions concerning jurisdictional waters of the United States please feel free to give me a call

Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code
6 The Conditional Use must meet the r~quirements of City Code and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area public facilities and private commercial andor service facilities available within the area More specifically the proposed changes should not cause depreciation of property values or reduce the safety light and general convenience of neighboring developments
a The appearance and function of the surrounding area will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed Conditional Use since the subject site is located on property owned by the Melbourne International Airport The proposed height of the tower is governed by the FAA
b The application does not appear to impact the preservation of any City state or federally designated historic scenic archaeological or cultural resources
c The proposed project should not change the general character of the area since a variety of industrial and ayiation related uses are located in the vicinity of the subject property The proposed development is compatible with other development at the Melbourne international Airport and the building style and scale are proportionate and consistent to Airport area uses
d The application will not have significant adverse impacts on the livability and usability of nearby land due to noise dust fumes smoke glare from lights late-night operations odors truck and other delivery trips the amount location and nature of any outside displays storage or activities potential for increased litter and privacy and safety issues
e The proposed air traffic control tower is not located in proximity to any residential areas
7 Adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject property The site has direct access to NASA Boulevard The proposed use does not have a detrimental impact on the transportamiddot~on system since adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject site
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 15
8 The proposed Conditional Use is in compliance with the standards outlined in City Code Appendix B Article V Section 2 (use and dimensional standards table) and Appendix B Article IX Section 5 (Conditional Uses)
9 The applicant shall demonstrate prior to construction plan approval the financial and technical capacity to complete any improvements and the mitigation necessitated by the development as proposed and has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision of such improvements and mitigation
tbull
10 The proposed use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the particular provision of these regulations authorizing such use and by all other applicable requirements of the regulations of the City including but not limited to Article IX Section 6 site plan review standards
Recommendation Based on the findings presented above for the project located on 16plusmn acres located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road (aka 911 Tower Access Road) the Community Development Department recommends

BackgroundInformation
Condition AssessmentlFAA 648017 Evaluation MLB ATCT - Melbourne FL
2211 AIR TRAFFIC - CHAPTER 6 - FAA ORDER 648017
FAA Order 648017 sets forth procedures for analyzing existing FAA-operated terminal air traffic control facilities relative to the scope of modernization work required or establishing justification for facility replacement Most of the existing FAA terminal air traffic control facilities and supporting space has surpassed their 20-year life span The need for major modification or replacement of these facilities must be determined in order to ensure the success of the FAA mission
The following is a summary of the ATCT Air Traffic Evaluation Worksheet (Chapter 6) which provides information to support in-depth evaluation of air traffic control functions from an operational point of view The complete Chapter 6 evaluation for FAA Order 648017 can be found in Appendix 5 (pages 8 to 25)
Some of the more significant operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The ATCT Cab height is too low It is extremely difficult to differentiate between taxiways and runways from the Cab and hence to determine the location of the aircraft The runways layout and length when the ATCT was originally built were quite different than the current arrangement Thus the increased distance to the far end of some runways and taxiways creates a considerable depth perception problem with the Cabs low height The problem is particularly acute at night
bull The lCSS system needs to be replacedupgraded
Some of the more significant non-operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The temperature for the 4th Floor varies considerably
bull There are on-going leak issues with the Cab roof and the roof beneath the Catwalk This issue has been addressed periodically with the most recent fix being done in the past few months Moisture is getting into the building and creating mold and mildew issues
bull The slot windows at the comers of the ATCT are experiencing leak issues much like to aforementioned roof problems The recent experience with Tropical Storm Fay resulted in considerable moisture getting into the facility from these windows A project to reseal the windows is planned for the near future
bull All the moisture created from the aforementioned leaks has created a mold mildew and corrosion problem throughout the facility The corrosion problem is partiCUlarly acute in the unconditioned spaces on the First Floor In addition in the unconditioned space there is a considerable amount of flaking paint (assumed lead-based) from the structural steel and other painted metal surfaces
A diagram of the airport showing the ATCT location on the airport property as well as the runway and taxiway configurations is provided at the end of Appendix 7

RE Conditional Use Request (CU-2016-07) with Site Plan Approval (SP-2016-05) Melbourne Airport Authority Air Traffic Control Tower Replacement
DATE April 21 2016
OwnerApplicantRepresentative Melbourne Airport Authority OwnerApplicant Brian Pendleton Airport Engineering Co Inc Representative
Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the
Melbourne International Airport on a 16plusmn acre airport site
Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan

Land Use Industrial
Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code
6 The Conditional Use must meet the r~quirements of City Code and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area public facilities and private commercial andor service facilities available within the area More specifically the proposed changes should not cause depreciation of property values or reduce the safety light and general convenience of neighboring developments
a The appearance and function of the surrounding area will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed Conditional Use since the subject site is located on property owned by the Melbourne International Airport The proposed height of the tower is governed by the FAA
b The application does not appear to impact the preservation of any City state or federally designated historic scenic archaeological or cultural resources
c The proposed project should not change the general character of the area since a variety of industrial and ayiation related uses are located in the vicinity of the subject property The proposed development is compatible with other development at the Melbourne international Airport and the building style and scale are proportionate and consistent to Airport area uses
d The application will not have significant adverse impacts on the livability and usability of nearby land due to noise dust fumes smoke glare from lights late-night operations odors truck and other delivery trips the amount location and nature of any outside displays storage or activities potential for increased litter and privacy and safety issues
e The proposed air traffic control tower is not located in proximity to any residential areas
7 Adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject property The site has direct access to NASA Boulevard The proposed use does not have a detrimental impact on the transportamiddot~on system since adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject site
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 15
8 The proposed Conditional Use is in compliance with the standards outlined in City Code Appendix B Article V Section 2 (use and dimensional standards table) and Appendix B Article IX Section 5 (Conditional Uses)
9 The applicant shall demonstrate prior to construction plan approval the financial and technical capacity to complete any improvements and the mitigation necessitated by the development as proposed and has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision of such improvements and mitigation
tbull
10 The proposed use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the particular provision of these regulations authorizing such use and by all other applicable requirements of the regulations of the City including but not limited to Article IX Section 6 site plan review standards
Recommendation Based on the findings presented above for the project located on 16plusmn acres located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road (aka 911 Tower Access Road) the Community Development Department recommends

BackgroundInformation
Condition AssessmentlFAA 648017 Evaluation MLB ATCT - Melbourne FL
2211 AIR TRAFFIC - CHAPTER 6 - FAA ORDER 648017
FAA Order 648017 sets forth procedures for analyzing existing FAA-operated terminal air traffic control facilities relative to the scope of modernization work required or establishing justification for facility replacement Most of the existing FAA terminal air traffic control facilities and supporting space has surpassed their 20-year life span The need for major modification or replacement of these facilities must be determined in order to ensure the success of the FAA mission
The following is a summary of the ATCT Air Traffic Evaluation Worksheet (Chapter 6) which provides information to support in-depth evaluation of air traffic control functions from an operational point of view The complete Chapter 6 evaluation for FAA Order 648017 can be found in Appendix 5 (pages 8 to 25)
Some of the more significant operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The ATCT Cab height is too low It is extremely difficult to differentiate between taxiways and runways from the Cab and hence to determine the location of the aircraft The runways layout and length when the ATCT was originally built were quite different than the current arrangement Thus the increased distance to the far end of some runways and taxiways creates a considerable depth perception problem with the Cabs low height The problem is particularly acute at night
bull The lCSS system needs to be replacedupgraded
Some of the more significant non-operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The temperature for the 4th Floor varies considerably
bull There are on-going leak issues with the Cab roof and the roof beneath the Catwalk This issue has been addressed periodically with the most recent fix being done in the past few months Moisture is getting into the building and creating mold and mildew issues
bull The slot windows at the comers of the ATCT are experiencing leak issues much like to aforementioned roof problems The recent experience with Tropical Storm Fay resulted in considerable moisture getting into the facility from these windows A project to reseal the windows is planned for the near future
bull All the moisture created from the aforementioned leaks has created a mold mildew and corrosion problem throughout the facility The corrosion problem is partiCUlarly acute in the unconditioned spaces on the First Floor In addition in the unconditioned space there is a considerable amount of flaking paint (assumed lead-based) from the structural steel and other painted metal surfaces
A diagram of the airport showing the ATCT location on the airport property as well as the runway and taxiway configurations is provided at the end of Appendix 7

This email is in response to your letter received October 15 2015 regarding potential environmental issues associated with the air traffic control tower replacement at Melbourne International Airport Based on drawings attached to your letter it does not appear that jurisdictional waters of the United States would be affected by the proposed project If that is indeed the case the US Army Corps of Engineers has no jurisdiction over the project area If there are federally listed species in the project area you will need to contact the United States Fish and Wildlife Service directly
If the project location changes such that there are questions concerning jurisdictional waters of the United States please feel free to give me a call

RE Conditional Use Request (CU-2016-07) with Site Plan Approval (SP-2016-05) Melbourne Airport Authority Air Traffic Control Tower Replacement
DATE April 21 2016
OwnerApplicantRepresentative Melbourne Airport Authority OwnerApplicant Brian Pendleton Airport Engineering Co Inc Representative
Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the
Melbourne International Airport on a 16plusmn acre airport site
Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan

Land Use Industrial
Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code
6 The Conditional Use must meet the r~quirements of City Code and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area public facilities and private commercial andor service facilities available within the area More specifically the proposed changes should not cause depreciation of property values or reduce the safety light and general convenience of neighboring developments
a The appearance and function of the surrounding area will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed Conditional Use since the subject site is located on property owned by the Melbourne International Airport The proposed height of the tower is governed by the FAA
b The application does not appear to impact the preservation of any City state or federally designated historic scenic archaeological or cultural resources
c The proposed project should not change the general character of the area since a variety of industrial and ayiation related uses are located in the vicinity of the subject property The proposed development is compatible with other development at the Melbourne international Airport and the building style and scale are proportionate and consistent to Airport area uses
d The application will not have significant adverse impacts on the livability and usability of nearby land due to noise dust fumes smoke glare from lights late-night operations odors truck and other delivery trips the amount location and nature of any outside displays storage or activities potential for increased litter and privacy and safety issues
e The proposed air traffic control tower is not located in proximity to any residential areas
7 Adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject property The site has direct access to NASA Boulevard The proposed use does not have a detrimental impact on the transportamiddot~on system since adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject site
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 15
8 The proposed Conditional Use is in compliance with the standards outlined in City Code Appendix B Article V Section 2 (use and dimensional standards table) and Appendix B Article IX Section 5 (Conditional Uses)
9 The applicant shall demonstrate prior to construction plan approval the financial and technical capacity to complete any improvements and the mitigation necessitated by the development as proposed and has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision of such improvements and mitigation
tbull
10 The proposed use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the particular provision of these regulations authorizing such use and by all other applicable requirements of the regulations of the City including but not limited to Article IX Section 6 site plan review standards
Recommendation Based on the findings presented above for the project located on 16plusmn acres located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road (aka 911 Tower Access Road) the Community Development Department recommends

BackgroundInformation
Condition AssessmentlFAA 648017 Evaluation MLB ATCT - Melbourne FL
2211 AIR TRAFFIC - CHAPTER 6 - FAA ORDER 648017
FAA Order 648017 sets forth procedures for analyzing existing FAA-operated terminal air traffic control facilities relative to the scope of modernization work required or establishing justification for facility replacement Most of the existing FAA terminal air traffic control facilities and supporting space has surpassed their 20-year life span The need for major modification or replacement of these facilities must be determined in order to ensure the success of the FAA mission
The following is a summary of the ATCT Air Traffic Evaluation Worksheet (Chapter 6) which provides information to support in-depth evaluation of air traffic control functions from an operational point of view The complete Chapter 6 evaluation for FAA Order 648017 can be found in Appendix 5 (pages 8 to 25)
Some of the more significant operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The ATCT Cab height is too low It is extremely difficult to differentiate between taxiways and runways from the Cab and hence to determine the location of the aircraft The runways layout and length when the ATCT was originally built were quite different than the current arrangement Thus the increased distance to the far end of some runways and taxiways creates a considerable depth perception problem with the Cabs low height The problem is particularly acute at night
bull The lCSS system needs to be replacedupgraded
Some of the more significant non-operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The temperature for the 4th Floor varies considerably
bull There are on-going leak issues with the Cab roof and the roof beneath the Catwalk This issue has been addressed periodically with the most recent fix being done in the past few months Moisture is getting into the building and creating mold and mildew issues
bull The slot windows at the comers of the ATCT are experiencing leak issues much like to aforementioned roof problems The recent experience with Tropical Storm Fay resulted in considerable moisture getting into the facility from these windows A project to reseal the windows is planned for the near future
bull All the moisture created from the aforementioned leaks has created a mold mildew and corrosion problem throughout the facility The corrosion problem is partiCUlarly acute in the unconditioned spaces on the First Floor In addition in the unconditioned space there is a considerable amount of flaking paint (assumed lead-based) from the structural steel and other painted metal surfaces
A diagram of the airport showing the ATCT location on the airport property as well as the runway and taxiway configurations is provided at the end of Appendix 7

This email is in response to your letter received October 15 2015 regarding potential environmental issues associated with the air traffic control tower replacement at Melbourne International Airport Based on drawings attached to your letter it does not appear that jurisdictional waters of the United States would be affected by the proposed project If that is indeed the case the US Army Corps of Engineers has no jurisdiction over the project area If there are federally listed species in the project area you will need to contact the United States Fish and Wildlife Service directly
If the project location changes such that there are questions concerning jurisdictional waters of the United States please feel free to give me a call

RE Conditional Use Request (CU-2016-07) with Site Plan Approval (SP-2016-05) Melbourne Airport Authority Air Traffic Control Tower Replacement
DATE April 21 2016
OwnerApplicantRepresentative Melbourne Airport Authority OwnerApplicant Brian Pendleton Airport Engineering Co Inc Representative
Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the
Melbourne International Airport on a 16plusmn acre airport site
Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan
History The existing air traffic control tower was constructed in the mid-1960s

To the South Melbourne Airport property currently leased to Northrop Grumman Zoning M-1
Land Use Industrial
Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code
6 The Conditional Use must meet the r~quirements of City Code and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area public facilities and private commercial andor service facilities available within the area More specifically the proposed changes should not cause depreciation of property values or reduce the safety light and general convenience of neighboring developments
a The appearance and function of the surrounding area will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed Conditional Use since the subject site is located on property owned by the Melbourne International Airport The proposed height of the tower is governed by the FAA
b The application does not appear to impact the preservation of any City state or federally designated historic scenic archaeological or cultural resources
c The proposed project should not change the general character of the area since a variety of industrial and ayiation related uses are located in the vicinity of the subject property The proposed development is compatible with other development at the Melbourne international Airport and the building style and scale are proportionate and consistent to Airport area uses
d The application will not have significant adverse impacts on the livability and usability of nearby land due to noise dust fumes smoke glare from lights late-night operations odors truck and other delivery trips the amount location and nature of any outside displays storage or activities potential for increased litter and privacy and safety issues
e The proposed air traffic control tower is not located in proximity to any residential areas
7 Adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject property The site has direct access to NASA Boulevard The proposed use does not have a detrimental impact on the transportamiddot~on system since adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject site
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 15
8 The proposed Conditional Use is in compliance with the standards outlined in City Code Appendix B Article V Section 2 (use and dimensional standards table) and Appendix B Article IX Section 5 (Conditional Uses)
9 The applicant shall demonstrate prior to construction plan approval the financial and technical capacity to complete any improvements and the mitigation necessitated by the development as proposed and has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision of such improvements and mitigation
tbull
10 The proposed use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the particular provision of these regulations authorizing such use and by all other applicable requirements of the regulations of the City including but not limited to Article IX Section 6 site plan review standards
Recommendation Based on the findings presented above for the project located on 16plusmn acres located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road (aka 911 Tower Access Road) the Community Development Department recommends
A Approval of CU-2016-07 to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn feet of height) for the new air traffic control tower at the Melbourne International Airport) and
B Approval of SP-2016-05 to construct a 10758plusmn-foot tall air traffic control tower on 16plusmn acres at the Melbourne International Airport zoned M-1 on a 3-sheet site plan prepared by Airport Engineering Co Inc of Rockledge Florida Project Number 1412 with a signed and sealed date of April 13 2016 with the following conditions
a Any change to the Site Plan will require reevaluation by the City Engineering Department and Planning and Economic Development Department
Any substantial change to the Site Plan as outlined in Appendix B Article IX Section 6 (E) will require review and approval by City staff the Planning and Zoning Board Local Planning Agency andor the City Council
b Prior to construction plan approval the applicant shall provide the necessary requirementsapprovals set forth by the FAA regarding the requested 107 58plusmn-foot tall structure and as~ociated improvements
c All hardwood trees and scrub oaks located outside of the building footprint and parking driveway aisles shall be preserved and buildings and parkingdrive aisles shall be shifted when possible to preserve hardwood trees or scrub oaks as determined during construction plan review
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 16
d The proposed building shall be substantially consistent with the rendering submitted by the applicant
e A specific public benefit improvement is not required for this particular request since the request for additional height does not increase the density or intensity

BackgroundInformation
Condition AssessmentlFAA 648017 Evaluation MLB ATCT - Melbourne FL
2211 AIR TRAFFIC - CHAPTER 6 - FAA ORDER 648017
FAA Order 648017 sets forth procedures for analyzing existing FAA-operated terminal air traffic control facilities relative to the scope of modernization work required or establishing justification for facility replacement Most of the existing FAA terminal air traffic control facilities and supporting space has surpassed their 20-year life span The need for major modification or replacement of these facilities must be determined in order to ensure the success of the FAA mission
The following is a summary of the ATCT Air Traffic Evaluation Worksheet (Chapter 6) which provides information to support in-depth evaluation of air traffic control functions from an operational point of view The complete Chapter 6 evaluation for FAA Order 648017 can be found in Appendix 5 (pages 8 to 25)
Some of the more significant operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The ATCT Cab height is too low It is extremely difficult to differentiate between taxiways and runways from the Cab and hence to determine the location of the aircraft The runways layout and length when the ATCT was originally built were quite different than the current arrangement Thus the increased distance to the far end of some runways and taxiways creates a considerable depth perception problem with the Cabs low height The problem is particularly acute at night
bull The lCSS system needs to be replacedupgraded
Some of the more significant non-operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The temperature for the 4th Floor varies considerably
bull There are on-going leak issues with the Cab roof and the roof beneath the Catwalk This issue has been addressed periodically with the most recent fix being done in the past few months Moisture is getting into the building and creating mold and mildew issues
bull The slot windows at the comers of the ATCT are experiencing leak issues much like to aforementioned roof problems The recent experience with Tropical Storm Fay resulted in considerable moisture getting into the facility from these windows A project to reseal the windows is planned for the near future
bull All the moisture created from the aforementioned leaks has created a mold mildew and corrosion problem throughout the facility The corrosion problem is partiCUlarly acute in the unconditioned spaces on the First Floor In addition in the unconditioned space there is a considerable amount of flaking paint (assumed lead-based) from the structural steel and other painted metal surfaces
A diagram of the airport showing the ATCT location on the airport property as well as the runway and taxiway configurations is provided at the end of Appendix 7

This email is in response to your letter received October 15 2015 regarding potential environmental issues associated with the air traffic control tower replacement at Melbourne International Airport Based on drawings attached to your letter it does not appear that jurisdictional waters of the United States would be affected by the proposed project If that is indeed the case the US Army Corps of Engineers has no jurisdiction over the project area If there are federally listed species in the project area you will need to contact the United States Fish and Wildlife Service directly
If the project location changes such that there are questions concerning jurisdictional waters of the United States please feel free to give me a call

RE Conditional Use Request (CU-2016-07) with Site Plan Approval (SP-2016-05) Melbourne Airport Authority Air Traffic Control Tower Replacement
DATE April 21 2016
OwnerApplicantRepresentative Melbourne Airport Authority OwnerApplicant Brian Pendleton Airport Engineering Co Inc Representative
Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the
Melbourne International Airport on a 16plusmn acre airport site
Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan

Land Use Industrial
Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code
6 The Conditional Use must meet the r~quirements of City Code and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area public facilities and private commercial andor service facilities available within the area More specifically the proposed changes should not cause depreciation of property values or reduce the safety light and general convenience of neighboring developments
a The appearance and function of the surrounding area will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed Conditional Use since the subject site is located on property owned by the Melbourne International Airport The proposed height of the tower is governed by the FAA
b The application does not appear to impact the preservation of any City state or federally designated historic scenic archaeological or cultural resources
c The proposed project should not change the general character of the area since a variety of industrial and ayiation related uses are located in the vicinity of the subject property The proposed development is compatible with other development at the Melbourne international Airport and the building style and scale are proportionate and consistent to Airport area uses
d The application will not have significant adverse impacts on the livability and usability of nearby land due to noise dust fumes smoke glare from lights late-night operations odors truck and other delivery trips the amount location and nature of any outside displays storage or activities potential for increased litter and privacy and safety issues
e The proposed air traffic control tower is not located in proximity to any residential areas
7 Adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject property The site has direct access to NASA Boulevard The proposed use does not have a detrimental impact on the transportamiddot~on system since adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject site
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 15
8 The proposed Conditional Use is in compliance with the standards outlined in City Code Appendix B Article V Section 2 (use and dimensional standards table) and Appendix B Article IX Section 5 (Conditional Uses)
9 The applicant shall demonstrate prior to construction plan approval the financial and technical capacity to complete any improvements and the mitigation necessitated by the development as proposed and has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision of such improvements and mitigation
tbull
10 The proposed use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the particular provision of these regulations authorizing such use and by all other applicable requirements of the regulations of the City including but not limited to Article IX Section 6 site plan review standards
Recommendation Based on the findings presented above for the project located on 16plusmn acres located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road (aka 911 Tower Access Road) the Community Development Department recommends
A Approval of CU-2016-07 to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn feet of height) for the new air traffic control tower at the Melbourne International Airport) and
B Approval of SP-2016-05 to construct a 10758plusmn-foot tall air traffic control tower on 16plusmn acres at the Melbourne International Airport zoned M-1 on a 3-sheet site plan prepared by Airport Engineering Co Inc of Rockledge Florida Project Number 1412 with a signed and sealed date of April 13 2016 with the following conditions

BackgroundInformation
Condition AssessmentlFAA 648017 Evaluation MLB ATCT - Melbourne FL
2211 AIR TRAFFIC - CHAPTER 6 - FAA ORDER 648017
FAA Order 648017 sets forth procedures for analyzing existing FAA-operated terminal air traffic control facilities relative to the scope of modernization work required or establishing justification for facility replacement Most of the existing FAA terminal air traffic control facilities and supporting space has surpassed their 20-year life span The need for major modification or replacement of these facilities must be determined in order to ensure the success of the FAA mission
The following is a summary of the ATCT Air Traffic Evaluation Worksheet (Chapter 6) which provides information to support in-depth evaluation of air traffic control functions from an operational point of view The complete Chapter 6 evaluation for FAA Order 648017 can be found in Appendix 5 (pages 8 to 25)
Some of the more significant operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The ATCT Cab height is too low It is extremely difficult to differentiate between taxiways and runways from the Cab and hence to determine the location of the aircraft The runways layout and length when the ATCT was originally built were quite different than the current arrangement Thus the increased distance to the far end of some runways and taxiways creates a considerable depth perception problem with the Cabs low height The problem is particularly acute at night
bull The lCSS system needs to be replacedupgraded
Some of the more significant non-operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The temperature for the 4th Floor varies considerably
bull There are on-going leak issues with the Cab roof and the roof beneath the Catwalk This issue has been addressed periodically with the most recent fix being done in the past few months Moisture is getting into the building and creating mold and mildew issues
bull The slot windows at the comers of the ATCT are experiencing leak issues much like to aforementioned roof problems The recent experience with Tropical Storm Fay resulted in considerable moisture getting into the facility from these windows A project to reseal the windows is planned for the near future
bull All the moisture created from the aforementioned leaks has created a mold mildew and corrosion problem throughout the facility The corrosion problem is partiCUlarly acute in the unconditioned spaces on the First Floor In addition in the unconditioned space there is a considerable amount of flaking paint (assumed lead-based) from the structural steel and other painted metal surfaces
A diagram of the airport showing the ATCT location on the airport property as well as the runway and taxiway configurations is provided at the end of Appendix 7

This email is in response to your letter received October 15 2015 regarding potential environmental issues associated with the air traffic control tower replacement at Melbourne International Airport Based on drawings attached to your letter it does not appear that jurisdictional waters of the United States would be affected by the proposed project If that is indeed the case the US Army Corps of Engineers has no jurisdiction over the project area If there are federally listed species in the project area you will need to contact the United States Fish and Wildlife Service directly
If the project location changes such that there are questions concerning jurisdictional waters of the United States please feel free to give me a call

Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code
6 The Conditional Use must meet the r~quirements of City Code and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area public facilities and private commercial andor service facilities available within the area More specifically the proposed changes should not cause depreciation of property values or reduce the safety light and general convenience of neighboring developments
a The appearance and function of the surrounding area will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed Conditional Use since the subject site is located on property owned by the Melbourne International Airport The proposed height of the tower is governed by the FAA
b The application does not appear to impact the preservation of any City state or federally designated historic scenic archaeological or cultural resources
c The proposed project should not change the general character of the area since a variety of industrial and ayiation related uses are located in the vicinity of the subject property The proposed development is compatible with other development at the Melbourne international Airport and the building style and scale are proportionate and consistent to Airport area uses
d The application will not have significant adverse impacts on the livability and usability of nearby land due to noise dust fumes smoke glare from lights late-night operations odors truck and other delivery trips the amount location and nature of any outside displays storage or activities potential for increased litter and privacy and safety issues
e The proposed air traffic control tower is not located in proximity to any residential areas
7 Adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject property The site has direct access to NASA Boulevard The proposed use does not have a detrimental impact on the transportamiddot~on system since adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject site
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 15
8 The proposed Conditional Use is in compliance with the standards outlined in City Code Appendix B Article V Section 2 (use and dimensional standards table) and Appendix B Article IX Section 5 (Conditional Uses)
9 The applicant shall demonstrate prior to construction plan approval the financial and technical capacity to complete any improvements and the mitigation necessitated by the development as proposed and has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision of such improvements and mitigation
tbull
10 The proposed use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the particular provision of these regulations authorizing such use and by all other applicable requirements of the regulations of the City including but not limited to Article IX Section 6 site plan review standards

BackgroundInformation
Condition AssessmentlFAA 648017 Evaluation MLB ATCT - Melbourne FL
2211 AIR TRAFFIC - CHAPTER 6 - FAA ORDER 648017
FAA Order 648017 sets forth procedures for analyzing existing FAA-operated terminal air traffic control facilities relative to the scope of modernization work required or establishing justification for facility replacement Most of the existing FAA terminal air traffic control facilities and supporting space has surpassed their 20-year life span The need for major modification or replacement of these facilities must be determined in order to ensure the success of the FAA mission
The following is a summary of the ATCT Air Traffic Evaluation Worksheet (Chapter 6) which provides information to support in-depth evaluation of air traffic control functions from an operational point of view The complete Chapter 6 evaluation for FAA Order 648017 can be found in Appendix 5 (pages 8 to 25)
Some of the more significant operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The ATCT Cab height is too low It is extremely difficult to differentiate between taxiways and runways from the Cab and hence to determine the location of the aircraft The runways layout and length when the ATCT was originally built were quite different than the current arrangement Thus the increased distance to the far end of some runways and taxiways creates a considerable depth perception problem with the Cabs low height The problem is particularly acute at night
bull The lCSS system needs to be replacedupgraded
Some of the more significant non-operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The temperature for the 4th Floor varies considerably
bull There are on-going leak issues with the Cab roof and the roof beneath the Catwalk This issue has been addressed periodically with the most recent fix being done in the past few months Moisture is getting into the building and creating mold and mildew issues
bull The slot windows at the comers of the ATCT are experiencing leak issues much like to aforementioned roof problems The recent experience with Tropical Storm Fay resulted in considerable moisture getting into the facility from these windows A project to reseal the windows is planned for the near future
bull All the moisture created from the aforementioned leaks has created a mold mildew and corrosion problem throughout the facility The corrosion problem is partiCUlarly acute in the unconditioned spaces on the First Floor In addition in the unconditioned space there is a considerable amount of flaking paint (assumed lead-based) from the structural steel and other painted metal surfaces
A diagram of the airport showing the ATCT location on the airport property as well as the runway and taxiway configurations is provided at the end of Appendix 7

This email is in response to your letter received October 15 2015 regarding potential environmental issues associated with the air traffic control tower replacement at Melbourne International Airport Based on drawings attached to your letter it does not appear that jurisdictional waters of the United States would be affected by the proposed project If that is indeed the case the US Army Corps of Engineers has no jurisdiction over the project area If there are federally listed species in the project area you will need to contact the United States Fish and Wildlife Service directly
If the project location changes such that there are questions concerning jurisdictional waters of the United States please feel free to give me a call

RE Conditional Use Request (CU-2016-07) with Site Plan Approval (SP-2016-05) Melbourne Airport Authority Air Traffic Control Tower Replacement
DATE April 21 2016
OwnerApplicantRepresentative Melbourne Airport Authority OwnerApplicant Brian Pendleton Airport Engineering Co Inc Representative
Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the
Melbourne International Airport on a 16plusmn acre airport site
Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan

Land Use Industrial
Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code
6 The Conditional Use must meet the r~quirements of City Code and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area public facilities and private commercial andor service facilities available within the area More specifically the proposed changes should not cause depreciation of property values or reduce the safety light and general convenience of neighboring developments
a The appearance and function of the surrounding area will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed Conditional Use since the subject site is located on property owned by the Melbourne International Airport The proposed height of the tower is governed by the FAA
b The application does not appear to impact the preservation of any City state or federally designated historic scenic archaeological or cultural resources
c The proposed project should not change the general character of the area since a variety of industrial and ayiation related uses are located in the vicinity of the subject property The proposed development is compatible with other development at the Melbourne international Airport and the building style and scale are proportionate and consistent to Airport area uses
d The application will not have significant adverse impacts on the livability and usability of nearby land due to noise dust fumes smoke glare from lights late-night operations odors truck and other delivery trips the amount location and nature of any outside displays storage or activities potential for increased litter and privacy and safety issues
e The proposed air traffic control tower is not located in proximity to any residential areas
7 Adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject property The site has direct access to NASA Boulevard The proposed use does not have a detrimental impact on the transportamiddot~on system since adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject site
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 15
8 The proposed Conditional Use is in compliance with the standards outlined in City Code Appendix B Article V Section 2 (use and dimensional standards table) and Appendix B Article IX Section 5 (Conditional Uses)
9 The applicant shall demonstrate prior to construction plan approval the financial and technical capacity to complete any improvements and the mitigation necessitated by the development as proposed and has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision of such improvements and mitigation
tbull
10 The proposed use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the particular provision of these regulations authorizing such use and by all other applicable requirements of the regulations of the City including but not limited to Article IX Section 6 site plan review standards
Recommendation Based on the findings presented above for the project located on 16plusmn acres located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road (aka 911 Tower Access Road) the Community Development Department recommends

BackgroundInformation
Condition AssessmentlFAA 648017 Evaluation MLB ATCT - Melbourne FL
2211 AIR TRAFFIC - CHAPTER 6 - FAA ORDER 648017
FAA Order 648017 sets forth procedures for analyzing existing FAA-operated terminal air traffic control facilities relative to the scope of modernization work required or establishing justification for facility replacement Most of the existing FAA terminal air traffic control facilities and supporting space has surpassed their 20-year life span The need for major modification or replacement of these facilities must be determined in order to ensure the success of the FAA mission
The following is a summary of the ATCT Air Traffic Evaluation Worksheet (Chapter 6) which provides information to support in-depth evaluation of air traffic control functions from an operational point of view The complete Chapter 6 evaluation for FAA Order 648017 can be found in Appendix 5 (pages 8 to 25)
Some of the more significant operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The ATCT Cab height is too low It is extremely difficult to differentiate between taxiways and runways from the Cab and hence to determine the location of the aircraft The runways layout and length when the ATCT was originally built were quite different than the current arrangement Thus the increased distance to the far end of some runways and taxiways creates a considerable depth perception problem with the Cabs low height The problem is particularly acute at night
bull The lCSS system needs to be replacedupgraded
Some of the more significant non-operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The temperature for the 4th Floor varies considerably
bull There are on-going leak issues with the Cab roof and the roof beneath the Catwalk This issue has been addressed periodically with the most recent fix being done in the past few months Moisture is getting into the building and creating mold and mildew issues
bull The slot windows at the comers of the ATCT are experiencing leak issues much like to aforementioned roof problems The recent experience with Tropical Storm Fay resulted in considerable moisture getting into the facility from these windows A project to reseal the windows is planned for the near future
bull All the moisture created from the aforementioned leaks has created a mold mildew and corrosion problem throughout the facility The corrosion problem is partiCUlarly acute in the unconditioned spaces on the First Floor In addition in the unconditioned space there is a considerable amount of flaking paint (assumed lead-based) from the structural steel and other painted metal surfaces
A diagram of the airport showing the ATCT location on the airport property as well as the runway and taxiway configurations is provided at the end of Appendix 7

This email is in response to your letter received October 15 2015 regarding potential environmental issues associated with the air traffic control tower replacement at Melbourne International Airport Based on drawings attached to your letter it does not appear that jurisdictional waters of the United States would be affected by the proposed project If that is indeed the case the US Army Corps of Engineers has no jurisdiction over the project area If there are federally listed species in the project area you will need to contact the United States Fish and Wildlife Service directly
If the project location changes such that there are questions concerning jurisdictional waters of the United States please feel free to give me a call

RE Conditional Use Request (CU-2016-07) with Site Plan Approval (SP-2016-05) Melbourne Airport Authority Air Traffic Control Tower Replacement
DATE April 21 2016
OwnerApplicantRepresentative Melbourne Airport Authority OwnerApplicant Brian Pendleton Airport Engineering Co Inc Representative
Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the
Melbourne International Airport on a 16plusmn acre airport site
Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan

To the South Melbourne Airport property currently leased to Northrop Grumman Zoning M-1
Land Use Industrial
Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code
6 The Conditional Use must meet the r~quirements of City Code and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area public facilities and private commercial andor service facilities available within the area More specifically the proposed changes should not cause depreciation of property values or reduce the safety light and general convenience of neighboring developments
a The appearance and function of the surrounding area will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed Conditional Use since the subject site is located on property owned by the Melbourne International Airport The proposed height of the tower is governed by the FAA
b The application does not appear to impact the preservation of any City state or federally designated historic scenic archaeological or cultural resources
c The proposed project should not change the general character of the area since a variety of industrial and ayiation related uses are located in the vicinity of the subject property The proposed development is compatible with other development at the Melbourne international Airport and the building style and scale are proportionate and consistent to Airport area uses
d The application will not have significant adverse impacts on the livability and usability of nearby land due to noise dust fumes smoke glare from lights late-night operations odors truck and other delivery trips the amount location and nature of any outside displays storage or activities potential for increased litter and privacy and safety issues
e The proposed air traffic control tower is not located in proximity to any residential areas
7 Adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject property The site has direct access to NASA Boulevard The proposed use does not have a detrimental impact on the transportamiddot~on system since adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject site
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 15
8 The proposed Conditional Use is in compliance with the standards outlined in City Code Appendix B Article V Section 2 (use and dimensional standards table) and Appendix B Article IX Section 5 (Conditional Uses)
9 The applicant shall demonstrate prior to construction plan approval the financial and technical capacity to complete any improvements and the mitigation necessitated by the development as proposed and has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision of such improvements and mitigation
tbull
10 The proposed use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the particular provision of these regulations authorizing such use and by all other applicable requirements of the regulations of the City including but not limited to Article IX Section 6 site plan review standards
Recommendation Based on the findings presented above for the project located on 16plusmn acres located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road (aka 911 Tower Access Road) the Community Development Department recommends
A Approval of CU-2016-07 to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn feet of height) for the new air traffic control tower at the Melbourne International Airport) and
B Approval of SP-2016-05 to construct a 10758plusmn-foot tall air traffic control tower on 16plusmn acres at the Melbourne International Airport zoned M-1 on a 3-sheet site plan prepared by Airport Engineering Co Inc of Rockledge Florida Project Number 1412 with a signed and sealed date of April 13 2016 with the following conditions
a Any change to the Site Plan will require reevaluation by the City Engineering Department and Planning and Economic Development Department
Any substantial change to the Site Plan as outlined in Appendix B Article IX Section 6 (E) will require review and approval by City staff the Planning and Zoning Board Local Planning Agency andor the City Council
b Prior to construction plan approval the applicant shall provide the necessary requirementsapprovals set forth by the FAA regarding the requested 107 58plusmn-foot tall structure and as~ociated improvements

BackgroundInformation
Condition AssessmentlFAA 648017 Evaluation MLB ATCT - Melbourne FL
2211 AIR TRAFFIC - CHAPTER 6 - FAA ORDER 648017
FAA Order 648017 sets forth procedures for analyzing existing FAA-operated terminal air traffic control facilities relative to the scope of modernization work required or establishing justification for facility replacement Most of the existing FAA terminal air traffic control facilities and supporting space has surpassed their 20-year life span The need for major modification or replacement of these facilities must be determined in order to ensure the success of the FAA mission
The following is a summary of the ATCT Air Traffic Evaluation Worksheet (Chapter 6) which provides information to support in-depth evaluation of air traffic control functions from an operational point of view The complete Chapter 6 evaluation for FAA Order 648017 can be found in Appendix 5 (pages 8 to 25)
Some of the more significant operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The ATCT Cab height is too low It is extremely difficult to differentiate between taxiways and runways from the Cab and hence to determine the location of the aircraft The runways layout and length when the ATCT was originally built were quite different than the current arrangement Thus the increased distance to the far end of some runways and taxiways creates a considerable depth perception problem with the Cabs low height The problem is particularly acute at night
bull The lCSS system needs to be replacedupgraded
Some of the more significant non-operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The temperature for the 4th Floor varies considerably
bull There are on-going leak issues with the Cab roof and the roof beneath the Catwalk This issue has been addressed periodically with the most recent fix being done in the past few months Moisture is getting into the building and creating mold and mildew issues
bull The slot windows at the comers of the ATCT are experiencing leak issues much like to aforementioned roof problems The recent experience with Tropical Storm Fay resulted in considerable moisture getting into the facility from these windows A project to reseal the windows is planned for the near future
bull All the moisture created from the aforementioned leaks has created a mold mildew and corrosion problem throughout the facility The corrosion problem is partiCUlarly acute in the unconditioned spaces on the First Floor In addition in the unconditioned space there is a considerable amount of flaking paint (assumed lead-based) from the structural steel and other painted metal surfaces
A diagram of the airport showing the ATCT location on the airport property as well as the runway and taxiway configurations is provided at the end of Appendix 7

RE Conditional Use Request (CU-2016-07) with Site Plan Approval (SP-2016-05) Melbourne Airport Authority Air Traffic Control Tower Replacement
DATE April 21 2016
OwnerApplicantRepresentative Melbourne Airport Authority OwnerApplicant Brian Pendleton Airport Engineering Co Inc Representative
Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the
Melbourne International Airport on a 16plusmn acre airport site
Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan

Land Use Industrial
Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code
6 The Conditional Use must meet the r~quirements of City Code and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area public facilities and private commercial andor service facilities available within the area More specifically the proposed changes should not cause depreciation of property values or reduce the safety light and general convenience of neighboring developments
a The appearance and function of the surrounding area will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed Conditional Use since the subject site is located on property owned by the Melbourne International Airport The proposed height of the tower is governed by the FAA
b The application does not appear to impact the preservation of any City state or federally designated historic scenic archaeological or cultural resources
c The proposed project should not change the general character of the area since a variety of industrial and ayiation related uses are located in the vicinity of the subject property The proposed development is compatible with other development at the Melbourne international Airport and the building style and scale are proportionate and consistent to Airport area uses
d The application will not have significant adverse impacts on the livability and usability of nearby land due to noise dust fumes smoke glare from lights late-night operations odors truck and other delivery trips the amount location and nature of any outside displays storage or activities potential for increased litter and privacy and safety issues
e The proposed air traffic control tower is not located in proximity to any residential areas
7 Adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject property The site has direct access to NASA Boulevard The proposed use does not have a detrimental impact on the transportamiddot~on system since adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject site
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 15
8 The proposed Conditional Use is in compliance with the standards outlined in City Code Appendix B Article V Section 2 (use and dimensional standards table) and Appendix B Article IX Section 5 (Conditional Uses)
9 The applicant shall demonstrate prior to construction plan approval the financial and technical capacity to complete any improvements and the mitigation necessitated by the development as proposed and has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision of such improvements and mitigation
tbull
10 The proposed use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the particular provision of these regulations authorizing such use and by all other applicable requirements of the regulations of the City including but not limited to Article IX Section 6 site plan review standards
Recommendation Based on the findings presented above for the project located on 16plusmn acres located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road (aka 911 Tower Access Road) the Community Development Department recommends

BackgroundInformation
Condition AssessmentlFAA 648017 Evaluation MLB ATCT - Melbourne FL
2211 AIR TRAFFIC - CHAPTER 6 - FAA ORDER 648017
FAA Order 648017 sets forth procedures for analyzing existing FAA-operated terminal air traffic control facilities relative to the scope of modernization work required or establishing justification for facility replacement Most of the existing FAA terminal air traffic control facilities and supporting space has surpassed their 20-year life span The need for major modification or replacement of these facilities must be determined in order to ensure the success of the FAA mission
The following is a summary of the ATCT Air Traffic Evaluation Worksheet (Chapter 6) which provides information to support in-depth evaluation of air traffic control functions from an operational point of view The complete Chapter 6 evaluation for FAA Order 648017 can be found in Appendix 5 (pages 8 to 25)
Some of the more significant operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The ATCT Cab height is too low It is extremely difficult to differentiate between taxiways and runways from the Cab and hence to determine the location of the aircraft The runways layout and length when the ATCT was originally built were quite different than the current arrangement Thus the increased distance to the far end of some runways and taxiways creates a considerable depth perception problem with the Cabs low height The problem is particularly acute at night
bull The lCSS system needs to be replacedupgraded
Some of the more significant non-operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The temperature for the 4th Floor varies considerably
bull There are on-going leak issues with the Cab roof and the roof beneath the Catwalk This issue has been addressed periodically with the most recent fix being done in the past few months Moisture is getting into the building and creating mold and mildew issues
bull The slot windows at the comers of the ATCT are experiencing leak issues much like to aforementioned roof problems The recent experience with Tropical Storm Fay resulted in considerable moisture getting into the facility from these windows A project to reseal the windows is planned for the near future
bull All the moisture created from the aforementioned leaks has created a mold mildew and corrosion problem throughout the facility The corrosion problem is partiCUlarly acute in the unconditioned spaces on the First Floor In addition in the unconditioned space there is a considerable amount of flaking paint (assumed lead-based) from the structural steel and other painted metal surfaces
A diagram of the airport showing the ATCT location on the airport property as well as the runway and taxiway configurations is provided at the end of Appendix 7

RE Conditional Use Request (CU-2016-07) with Site Plan Approval (SP-2016-05) Melbourne Airport Authority Air Traffic Control Tower Replacement
DATE April 21 2016
OwnerApplicantRepresentative Melbourne Airport Authority OwnerApplicant Brian Pendleton Airport Engineering Co Inc Representative
Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the
Melbourne International Airport on a 16plusmn acre airport site
Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan

Land Use Industrial
Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code
6 The Conditional Use must meet the r~quirements of City Code and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area public facilities and private commercial andor service facilities available within the area More specifically the proposed changes should not cause depreciation of property values or reduce the safety light and general convenience of neighboring developments
a The appearance and function of the surrounding area will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed Conditional Use since the subject site is located on property owned by the Melbourne International Airport The proposed height of the tower is governed by the FAA
b The application does not appear to impact the preservation of any City state or federally designated historic scenic archaeological or cultural resources
c The proposed project should not change the general character of the area since a variety of industrial and ayiation related uses are located in the vicinity of the subject property The proposed development is compatible with other development at the Melbourne international Airport and the building style and scale are proportionate and consistent to Airport area uses
d The application will not have significant adverse impacts on the livability and usability of nearby land due to noise dust fumes smoke glare from lights late-night operations odors truck and other delivery trips the amount location and nature of any outside displays storage or activities potential for increased litter and privacy and safety issues
e The proposed air traffic control tower is not located in proximity to any residential areas
7 Adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject property The site has direct access to NASA Boulevard The proposed use does not have a detrimental impact on the transportamiddot~on system since adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject site
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 15
8 The proposed Conditional Use is in compliance with the standards outlined in City Code Appendix B Article V Section 2 (use and dimensional standards table) and Appendix B Article IX Section 5 (Conditional Uses)
9 The applicant shall demonstrate prior to construction plan approval the financial and technical capacity to complete any improvements and the mitigation necessitated by the development as proposed and has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision of such improvements and mitigation
tbull
10 The proposed use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the particular provision of these regulations authorizing such use and by all other applicable requirements of the regulations of the City including but not limited to Article IX Section 6 site plan review standards

BackgroundInformation
Condition AssessmentlFAA 648017 Evaluation MLB ATCT - Melbourne FL
2211 AIR TRAFFIC - CHAPTER 6 - FAA ORDER 648017
FAA Order 648017 sets forth procedures for analyzing existing FAA-operated terminal air traffic control facilities relative to the scope of modernization work required or establishing justification for facility replacement Most of the existing FAA terminal air traffic control facilities and supporting space has surpassed their 20-year life span The need for major modification or replacement of these facilities must be determined in order to ensure the success of the FAA mission
The following is a summary of the ATCT Air Traffic Evaluation Worksheet (Chapter 6) which provides information to support in-depth evaluation of air traffic control functions from an operational point of view The complete Chapter 6 evaluation for FAA Order 648017 can be found in Appendix 5 (pages 8 to 25)
Some of the more significant operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The ATCT Cab height is too low It is extremely difficult to differentiate between taxiways and runways from the Cab and hence to determine the location of the aircraft The runways layout and length when the ATCT was originally built were quite different than the current arrangement Thus the increased distance to the far end of some runways and taxiways creates a considerable depth perception problem with the Cabs low height The problem is particularly acute at night
bull The lCSS system needs to be replacedupgraded
Some of the more significant non-operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The temperature for the 4th Floor varies considerably
bull There are on-going leak issues with the Cab roof and the roof beneath the Catwalk This issue has been addressed periodically with the most recent fix being done in the past few months Moisture is getting into the building and creating mold and mildew issues
bull The slot windows at the comers of the ATCT are experiencing leak issues much like to aforementioned roof problems The recent experience with Tropical Storm Fay resulted in considerable moisture getting into the facility from these windows A project to reseal the windows is planned for the near future
bull All the moisture created from the aforementioned leaks has created a mold mildew and corrosion problem throughout the facility The corrosion problem is partiCUlarly acute in the unconditioned spaces on the First Floor In addition in the unconditioned space there is a considerable amount of flaking paint (assumed lead-based) from the structural steel and other painted metal surfaces
A diagram of the airport showing the ATCT location on the airport property as well as the runway and taxiway configurations is provided at the end of Appendix 7

RE Conditional Use Request (CU-2016-07) with Site Plan Approval (SP-2016-05) Melbourne Airport Authority Air Traffic Control Tower Replacement
DATE April 21 2016
OwnerApplicantRepresentative Melbourne Airport Authority OwnerApplicant Brian Pendleton Airport Engineering Co Inc Representative
Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the
Melbourne International Airport on a 16plusmn acre airport site
Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan

Land Use Industrial
Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code
6 The Conditional Use must meet the r~quirements of City Code and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area public facilities and private commercial andor service facilities available within the area More specifically the proposed changes should not cause depreciation of property values or reduce the safety light and general convenience of neighboring developments
a The appearance and function of the surrounding area will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed Conditional Use since the subject site is located on property owned by the Melbourne International Airport The proposed height of the tower is governed by the FAA
b The application does not appear to impact the preservation of any City state or federally designated historic scenic archaeological or cultural resources
c The proposed project should not change the general character of the area since a variety of industrial and ayiation related uses are located in the vicinity of the subject property The proposed development is compatible with other development at the Melbourne international Airport and the building style and scale are proportionate and consistent to Airport area uses

2211 AIR TRAFFIC - CHAPTER 6 - FAA ORDER 648017
FAA Order 648017 sets forth procedures for analyzing existing FAA-operated terminal air traffic control facilities relative to the scope of modernization work required or establishing justification for facility replacement Most of the existing FAA terminal air traffic control facilities and supporting space has surpassed their 20-year life span The need for major modification or replacement of these facilities must be determined in order to ensure the success of the FAA mission
The following is a summary of the ATCT Air Traffic Evaluation Worksheet (Chapter 6) which provides information to support in-depth evaluation of air traffic control functions from an operational point of view The complete Chapter 6 evaluation for FAA Order 648017 can be found in Appendix 5 (pages 8 to 25)
Some of the more significant operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The ATCT Cab height is too low It is extremely difficult to differentiate between taxiways and runways from the Cab and hence to determine the location of the aircraft The runways layout and length when the ATCT was originally built were quite different than the current arrangement Thus the increased distance to the far end of some runways and taxiways creates a considerable depth perception problem with the Cabs low height The problem is particularly acute at night
bull The lCSS system needs to be replacedupgraded
Some of the more significant non-operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The temperature for the 4th Floor varies considerably
bull There are on-going leak issues with the Cab roof and the roof beneath the Catwalk This issue has been addressed periodically with the most recent fix being done in the past few months Moisture is getting into the building and creating mold and mildew issues
bull The slot windows at the comers of the ATCT are experiencing leak issues much like to aforementioned roof problems The recent experience with Tropical Storm Fay resulted in considerable moisture getting into the facility from these windows A project to reseal the windows is planned for the near future
bull All the moisture created from the aforementioned leaks has created a mold mildew and corrosion problem throughout the facility The corrosion problem is partiCUlarly acute in the unconditioned spaces on the First Floor In addition in the unconditioned space there is a considerable amount of flaking paint (assumed lead-based) from the structural steel and other painted metal surfaces
A diagram of the airport showing the ATCT location on the airport property as well as the runway and taxiway configurations is provided at the end of Appendix 7

RE Conditional Use Request (CU-2016-07) with Site Plan Approval (SP-2016-05) Melbourne Airport Authority Air Traffic Control Tower Replacement
DATE April 21 2016
OwnerApplicantRepresentative Melbourne Airport Authority OwnerApplicant Brian Pendleton Airport Engineering Co Inc Representative
Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the
Melbourne International Airport on a 16plusmn acre airport site
Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan

Land Use Industrial
Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code
6 The Conditional Use must meet the r~quirements of City Code and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area public facilities and private commercial andor service facilities available within the area More specifically the proposed changes should not cause depreciation of property values or reduce the safety light and general convenience of neighboring developments
a The appearance and function of the surrounding area will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed Conditional Use since the subject site is located on property owned by the Melbourne International Airport The proposed height of the tower is governed by the FAA
b The application does not appear to impact the preservation of any City state or federally designated historic scenic archaeological or cultural resources
c The proposed project should not change the general character of the area since a variety of industrial and ayiation related uses are located in the vicinity of the subject property The proposed development is compatible with other development at the Melbourne international Airport and the building style and scale are proportionate and consistent to Airport area uses
d The application will not have significant adverse impacts on the livability and usability of nearby land due to noise dust fumes smoke glare from lights late-night operations odors truck and other delivery trips the amount location and nature of any outside displays storage or activities potential for increased litter and privacy and safety issues
e The proposed air traffic control tower is not located in proximity to any residential areas
7 Adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject property The site has direct access to NASA Boulevard The proposed use does not have a detrimental impact on the transportamiddot~on system since adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject site
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 15
8 The proposed Conditional Use is in compliance with the standards outlined in City Code Appendix B Article V Section 2 (use and dimensional standards table) and Appendix B Article IX Section 5 (Conditional Uses)
9 The applicant shall demonstrate prior to construction plan approval the financial and technical capacity to complete any improvements and the mitigation necessitated by the development as proposed and has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision of such improvements and mitigation
tbull
10 The proposed use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the particular provision of these regulations authorizing such use and by all other applicable requirements of the regulations of the City including but not limited to Article IX Section 6 site plan review standards
Recommendation Based on the findings presented above for the project located on 16plusmn acres located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road (aka 911 Tower Access Road) the Community Development Department recommends
A Approval of CU-2016-07 to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn feet of height) for the new air traffic control tower at the Melbourne International Airport) and

BackgroundInformation
Condition AssessmentlFAA 648017 Evaluation MLB ATCT - Melbourne FL
2211 AIR TRAFFIC - CHAPTER 6 - FAA ORDER 648017
FAA Order 648017 sets forth procedures for analyzing existing FAA-operated terminal air traffic control facilities relative to the scope of modernization work required or establishing justification for facility replacement Most of the existing FAA terminal air traffic control facilities and supporting space has surpassed their 20-year life span The need for major modification or replacement of these facilities must be determined in order to ensure the success of the FAA mission
The following is a summary of the ATCT Air Traffic Evaluation Worksheet (Chapter 6) which provides information to support in-depth evaluation of air traffic control functions from an operational point of view The complete Chapter 6 evaluation for FAA Order 648017 can be found in Appendix 5 (pages 8 to 25)
Some of the more significant operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The ATCT Cab height is too low It is extremely difficult to differentiate between taxiways and runways from the Cab and hence to determine the location of the aircraft The runways layout and length when the ATCT was originally built were quite different than the current arrangement Thus the increased distance to the far end of some runways and taxiways creates a considerable depth perception problem with the Cabs low height The problem is particularly acute at night
bull The lCSS system needs to be replacedupgraded
Some of the more significant non-operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The temperature for the 4th Floor varies considerably
bull There are on-going leak issues with the Cab roof and the roof beneath the Catwalk This issue has been addressed periodically with the most recent fix being done in the past few months Moisture is getting into the building and creating mold and mildew issues
bull The slot windows at the comers of the ATCT are experiencing leak issues much like to aforementioned roof problems The recent experience with Tropical Storm Fay resulted in considerable moisture getting into the facility from these windows A project to reseal the windows is planned for the near future
bull All the moisture created from the aforementioned leaks has created a mold mildew and corrosion problem throughout the facility The corrosion problem is partiCUlarly acute in the unconditioned spaces on the First Floor In addition in the unconditioned space there is a considerable amount of flaking paint (assumed lead-based) from the structural steel and other painted metal surfaces
A diagram of the airport showing the ATCT location on the airport property as well as the runway and taxiway configurations is provided at the end of Appendix 7

This email is in response to your letter received October 15 2015 regarding potential environmental issues associated with the air traffic control tower replacement at Melbourne International Airport Based on drawings attached to your letter it does not appear that jurisdictional waters of the United States would be affected by the proposed project If that is indeed the case the US Army Corps of Engineers has no jurisdiction over the project area If there are federally listed species in the project area you will need to contact the United States Fish and Wildlife Service directly
If the project location changes such that there are questions concerning jurisdictional waters of the United States please feel free to give me a call

RE Conditional Use Request (CU-2016-07) with Site Plan Approval (SP-2016-05) Melbourne Airport Authority Air Traffic Control Tower Replacement
DATE April 21 2016
OwnerApplicantRepresentative Melbourne Airport Authority OwnerApplicant Brian Pendleton Airport Engineering Co Inc Representative
Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the
Melbourne International Airport on a 16plusmn acre airport site
Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan

Land Use Industrial
Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code
6 The Conditional Use must meet the r~quirements of City Code and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area public facilities and private commercial andor service facilities available within the area More specifically the proposed changes should not cause depreciation of property values or reduce the safety light and general convenience of neighboring developments
a The appearance and function of the surrounding area will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed Conditional Use since the subject site is located on property owned by the Melbourne International Airport The proposed height of the tower is governed by the FAA
b The application does not appear to impact the preservation of any City state or federally designated historic scenic archaeological or cultural resources
c The proposed project should not change the general character of the area since a variety of industrial and ayiation related uses are located in the vicinity of the subject property The proposed development is compatible with other development at the Melbourne international Airport and the building style and scale are proportionate and consistent to Airport area uses
d The application will not have significant adverse impacts on the livability and usability of nearby land due to noise dust fumes smoke glare from lights late-night operations odors truck and other delivery trips the amount location and nature of any outside displays storage or activities potential for increased litter and privacy and safety issues
e The proposed air traffic control tower is not located in proximity to any residential areas
7 Adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject property The site has direct access to NASA Boulevard The proposed use does not have a detrimental impact on the transportamiddot~on system since adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject site
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 15
8 The proposed Conditional Use is in compliance with the standards outlined in City Code Appendix B Article V Section 2 (use and dimensional standards table) and Appendix B Article IX Section 5 (Conditional Uses)
9 The applicant shall demonstrate prior to construction plan approval the financial and technical capacity to complete any improvements and the mitigation necessitated by the development as proposed and has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision of such improvements and mitigation
tbull
10 The proposed use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the particular provision of these regulations authorizing such use and by all other applicable requirements of the regulations of the City including but not limited to Article IX Section 6 site plan review standards
Recommendation Based on the findings presented above for the project located on 16plusmn acres located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road (aka 911 Tower Access Road) the Community Development Department recommends
A Approval of CU-2016-07 to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn feet of height) for the new air traffic control tower at the Melbourne International Airport) and
B Approval of SP-2016-05 to construct a 10758plusmn-foot tall air traffic control tower on 16plusmn acres at the Melbourne International Airport zoned M-1 on a 3-sheet site plan prepared by Airport Engineering Co Inc of Rockledge Florida Project Number 1412 with a signed and sealed date of April 13 2016 with the following conditions

BackgroundInformation
Condition AssessmentlFAA 648017 Evaluation MLB ATCT - Melbourne FL
2211 AIR TRAFFIC - CHAPTER 6 - FAA ORDER 648017
FAA Order 648017 sets forth procedures for analyzing existing FAA-operated terminal air traffic control facilities relative to the scope of modernization work required or establishing justification for facility replacement Most of the existing FAA terminal air traffic control facilities and supporting space has surpassed their 20-year life span The need for major modification or replacement of these facilities must be determined in order to ensure the success of the FAA mission
The following is a summary of the ATCT Air Traffic Evaluation Worksheet (Chapter 6) which provides information to support in-depth evaluation of air traffic control functions from an operational point of view The complete Chapter 6 evaluation for FAA Order 648017 can be found in Appendix 5 (pages 8 to 25)
Some of the more significant operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The ATCT Cab height is too low It is extremely difficult to differentiate between taxiways and runways from the Cab and hence to determine the location of the aircraft The runways layout and length when the ATCT was originally built were quite different than the current arrangement Thus the increased distance to the far end of some runways and taxiways creates a considerable depth perception problem with the Cabs low height The problem is particularly acute at night
bull The lCSS system needs to be replacedupgraded
Some of the more significant non-operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The temperature for the 4th Floor varies considerably
bull There are on-going leak issues with the Cab roof and the roof beneath the Catwalk This issue has been addressed periodically with the most recent fix being done in the past few months Moisture is getting into the building and creating mold and mildew issues
bull The slot windows at the comers of the ATCT are experiencing leak issues much like to aforementioned roof problems The recent experience with Tropical Storm Fay resulted in considerable moisture getting into the facility from these windows A project to reseal the windows is planned for the near future
bull All the moisture created from the aforementioned leaks has created a mold mildew and corrosion problem throughout the facility The corrosion problem is partiCUlarly acute in the unconditioned spaces on the First Floor In addition in the unconditioned space there is a considerable amount of flaking paint (assumed lead-based) from the structural steel and other painted metal surfaces
A diagram of the airport showing the ATCT location on the airport property as well as the runway and taxiway configurations is provided at the end of Appendix 7

RE Conditional Use Request (CU-2016-07) with Site Plan Approval (SP-2016-05) Melbourne Airport Authority Air Traffic Control Tower Replacement
DATE April 21 2016
OwnerApplicantRepresentative Melbourne Airport Authority OwnerApplicant Brian Pendleton Airport Engineering Co Inc Representative
Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the
Melbourne International Airport on a 16plusmn acre airport site
Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan

Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code
6 The Conditional Use must meet the r~quirements of City Code and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area public facilities and private commercial andor service facilities available within the area More specifically the proposed changes should not cause depreciation of property values or reduce the safety light and general convenience of neighboring developments
a The appearance and function of the surrounding area will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed Conditional Use since the subject site is located on property owned by the Melbourne International Airport The proposed height of the tower is governed by the FAA
b The application does not appear to impact the preservation of any City state or federally designated historic scenic archaeological or cultural resources
c The proposed project should not change the general character of the area since a variety of industrial and ayiation related uses are located in the vicinity of the subject property The proposed development is compatible with other development at the Melbourne international Airport and the building style and scale are proportionate and consistent to Airport area uses
d The application will not have significant adverse impacts on the livability and usability of nearby land due to noise dust fumes smoke glare from lights late-night operations odors truck and other delivery trips the amount location and nature of any outside displays storage or activities potential for increased litter and privacy and safety issues
e The proposed air traffic control tower is not located in proximity to any residential areas
7 Adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject property The site has direct access to NASA Boulevard The proposed use does not have a detrimental impact on the transportamiddot~on system since adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject site
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 15
8 The proposed Conditional Use is in compliance with the standards outlined in City Code Appendix B Article V Section 2 (use and dimensional standards table) and Appendix B Article IX Section 5 (Conditional Uses)
9 The applicant shall demonstrate prior to construction plan approval the financial and technical capacity to complete any improvements and the mitigation necessitated by the development as proposed and has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision of such improvements and mitigation
tbull
10 The proposed use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the particular provision of these regulations authorizing such use and by all other applicable requirements of the regulations of the City including but not limited to Article IX Section 6 site plan review standards

2211 AIR TRAFFIC - CHAPTER 6 - FAA ORDER 648017
FAA Order 648017 sets forth procedures for analyzing existing FAA-operated terminal air traffic control facilities relative to the scope of modernization work required or establishing justification for facility replacement Most of the existing FAA terminal air traffic control facilities and supporting space has surpassed their 20-year life span The need for major modification or replacement of these facilities must be determined in order to ensure the success of the FAA mission
The following is a summary of the ATCT Air Traffic Evaluation Worksheet (Chapter 6) which provides information to support in-depth evaluation of air traffic control functions from an operational point of view The complete Chapter 6 evaluation for FAA Order 648017 can be found in Appendix 5 (pages 8 to 25)
Some of the more significant operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The ATCT Cab height is too low It is extremely difficult to differentiate between taxiways and runways from the Cab and hence to determine the location of the aircraft The runways layout and length when the ATCT was originally built were quite different than the current arrangement Thus the increased distance to the far end of some runways and taxiways creates a considerable depth perception problem with the Cabs low height The problem is particularly acute at night
bull The lCSS system needs to be replacedupgraded
Some of the more significant non-operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The temperature for the 4th Floor varies considerably
bull There are on-going leak issues with the Cab roof and the roof beneath the Catwalk This issue has been addressed periodically with the most recent fix being done in the past few months Moisture is getting into the building and creating mold and mildew issues
bull The slot windows at the comers of the ATCT are experiencing leak issues much like to aforementioned roof problems The recent experience with Tropical Storm Fay resulted in considerable moisture getting into the facility from these windows A project to reseal the windows is planned for the near future
bull All the moisture created from the aforementioned leaks has created a mold mildew and corrosion problem throughout the facility The corrosion problem is partiCUlarly acute in the unconditioned spaces on the First Floor In addition in the unconditioned space there is a considerable amount of flaking paint (assumed lead-based) from the structural steel and other painted metal surfaces
A diagram of the airport showing the ATCT location on the airport property as well as the runway and taxiway configurations is provided at the end of Appendix 7

RE Conditional Use Request (CU-2016-07) with Site Plan Approval (SP-2016-05) Melbourne Airport Authority Air Traffic Control Tower Replacement
DATE April 21 2016
OwnerApplicantRepresentative Melbourne Airport Authority OwnerApplicant Brian Pendleton Airport Engineering Co Inc Representative
Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the
Melbourne International Airport on a 16plusmn acre airport site
Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan

Land Use Industrial
Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code
6 The Conditional Use must meet the r~quirements of City Code and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area public facilities and private commercial andor service facilities available within the area More specifically the proposed changes should not cause depreciation of property values or reduce the safety light and general convenience of neighboring developments
a The appearance and function of the surrounding area will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed Conditional Use since the subject site is located on property owned by the Melbourne International Airport The proposed height of the tower is governed by the FAA
b The application does not appear to impact the preservation of any City state or federally designated historic scenic archaeological or cultural resources
c The proposed project should not change the general character of the area since a variety of industrial and ayiation related uses are located in the vicinity of the subject property The proposed development is compatible with other development at the Melbourne international Airport and the building style and scale are proportionate and consistent to Airport area uses
d The application will not have significant adverse impacts on the livability and usability of nearby land due to noise dust fumes smoke glare from lights late-night operations odors truck and other delivery trips the amount location and nature of any outside displays storage or activities potential for increased litter and privacy and safety issues
e The proposed air traffic control tower is not located in proximity to any residential areas
7 Adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject property The site has direct access to NASA Boulevard The proposed use does not have a detrimental impact on the transportamiddot~on system since adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject site
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 15
8 The proposed Conditional Use is in compliance with the standards outlined in City Code Appendix B Article V Section 2 (use and dimensional standards table) and Appendix B Article IX Section 5 (Conditional Uses)
9 The applicant shall demonstrate prior to construction plan approval the financial and technical capacity to complete any improvements and the mitigation necessitated by the development as proposed and has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision of such improvements and mitigation
tbull
10 The proposed use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the particular provision of these regulations authorizing such use and by all other applicable requirements of the regulations of the City including but not limited to Article IX Section 6 site plan review standards

BackgroundInformation
Condition AssessmentlFAA 648017 Evaluation MLB ATCT - Melbourne FL
2211 AIR TRAFFIC - CHAPTER 6 - FAA ORDER 648017
FAA Order 648017 sets forth procedures for analyzing existing FAA-operated terminal air traffic control facilities relative to the scope of modernization work required or establishing justification for facility replacement Most of the existing FAA terminal air traffic control facilities and supporting space has surpassed their 20-year life span The need for major modification or replacement of these facilities must be determined in order to ensure the success of the FAA mission
The following is a summary of the ATCT Air Traffic Evaluation Worksheet (Chapter 6) which provides information to support in-depth evaluation of air traffic control functions from an operational point of view The complete Chapter 6 evaluation for FAA Order 648017 can be found in Appendix 5 (pages 8 to 25)
Some of the more significant operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The ATCT Cab height is too low It is extremely difficult to differentiate between taxiways and runways from the Cab and hence to determine the location of the aircraft The runways layout and length when the ATCT was originally built were quite different than the current arrangement Thus the increased distance to the far end of some runways and taxiways creates a considerable depth perception problem with the Cabs low height The problem is particularly acute at night
bull The lCSS system needs to be replacedupgraded
Some of the more significant non-operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The temperature for the 4th Floor varies considerably
bull There are on-going leak issues with the Cab roof and the roof beneath the Catwalk This issue has been addressed periodically with the most recent fix being done in the past few months Moisture is getting into the building and creating mold and mildew issues
bull The slot windows at the comers of the ATCT are experiencing leak issues much like to aforementioned roof problems The recent experience with Tropical Storm Fay resulted in considerable moisture getting into the facility from these windows A project to reseal the windows is planned for the near future
bull All the moisture created from the aforementioned leaks has created a mold mildew and corrosion problem throughout the facility The corrosion problem is partiCUlarly acute in the unconditioned spaces on the First Floor In addition in the unconditioned space there is a considerable amount of flaking paint (assumed lead-based) from the structural steel and other painted metal surfaces
A diagram of the airport showing the ATCT location on the airport property as well as the runway and taxiway configurations is provided at the end of Appendix 7

RE Conditional Use Request (CU-2016-07) with Site Plan Approval (SP-2016-05) Melbourne Airport Authority Air Traffic Control Tower Replacement
DATE April 21 2016
OwnerApplicantRepresentative Melbourne Airport Authority OwnerApplicant Brian Pendleton Airport Engineering Co Inc Representative
Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the
Melbourne International Airport on a 16plusmn acre airport site
Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan

Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code
6 The Conditional Use must meet the r~quirements of City Code and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area public facilities and private commercial andor service facilities available within the area More specifically the proposed changes should not cause depreciation of property values or reduce the safety light and general convenience of neighboring developments
a The appearance and function of the surrounding area will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed Conditional Use since the subject site is located on property owned by the Melbourne International Airport The proposed height of the tower is governed by the FAA
b The application does not appear to impact the preservation of any City state or federally designated historic scenic archaeological or cultural resources
c The proposed project should not change the general character of the area since a variety of industrial and ayiation related uses are located in the vicinity of the subject property The proposed development is compatible with other development at the Melbourne international Airport and the building style and scale are proportionate and consistent to Airport area uses
d The application will not have significant adverse impacts on the livability and usability of nearby land due to noise dust fumes smoke glare from lights late-night operations odors truck and other delivery trips the amount location and nature of any outside displays storage or activities potential for increased litter and privacy and safety issues
e The proposed air traffic control tower is not located in proximity to any residential areas
7 Adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject property The site has direct access to NASA Boulevard The proposed use does not have a detrimental impact on the transportamiddot~on system since adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject site
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 15
8 The proposed Conditional Use is in compliance with the standards outlined in City Code Appendix B Article V Section 2 (use and dimensional standards table) and Appendix B Article IX Section 5 (Conditional Uses)
9 The applicant shall demonstrate prior to construction plan approval the financial and technical capacity to complete any improvements and the mitigation necessitated by the development as proposed and has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision of such improvements and mitigation
tbull
10 The proposed use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the particular provision of these regulations authorizing such use and by all other applicable requirements of the regulations of the City including but not limited to Article IX Section 6 site plan review standards

Condition AssessmentlFAA 648017 Evaluation MLB ATCT - Melbourne FL
2211 AIR TRAFFIC - CHAPTER 6 - FAA ORDER 648017
FAA Order 648017 sets forth procedures for analyzing existing FAA-operated terminal air traffic control facilities relative to the scope of modernization work required or establishing justification for facility replacement Most of the existing FAA terminal air traffic control facilities and supporting space has surpassed their 20-year life span The need for major modification or replacement of these facilities must be determined in order to ensure the success of the FAA mission
The following is a summary of the ATCT Air Traffic Evaluation Worksheet (Chapter 6) which provides information to support in-depth evaluation of air traffic control functions from an operational point of view The complete Chapter 6 evaluation for FAA Order 648017 can be found in Appendix 5 (pages 8 to 25)
Some of the more significant operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The ATCT Cab height is too low It is extremely difficult to differentiate between taxiways and runways from the Cab and hence to determine the location of the aircraft The runways layout and length when the ATCT was originally built were quite different than the current arrangement Thus the increased distance to the far end of some runways and taxiways creates a considerable depth perception problem with the Cabs low height The problem is particularly acute at night
bull The lCSS system needs to be replacedupgraded
Some of the more significant non-operational issues brought forth by Air Traffic include
bull The temperature for the 4th Floor varies considerably
bull There are on-going leak issues with the Cab roof and the roof beneath the Catwalk This issue has been addressed periodically with the most recent fix being done in the past few months Moisture is getting into the building and creating mold and mildew issues
bull The slot windows at the comers of the ATCT are experiencing leak issues much like to aforementioned roof problems The recent experience with Tropical Storm Fay resulted in considerable moisture getting into the facility from these windows A project to reseal the windows is planned for the near future
bull All the moisture created from the aforementioned leaks has created a mold mildew and corrosion problem throughout the facility The corrosion problem is partiCUlarly acute in the unconditioned spaces on the First Floor In addition in the unconditioned space there is a considerable amount of flaking paint (assumed lead-based) from the structural steel and other painted metal surfaces
A diagram of the airport showing the ATCT location on the airport property as well as the runway and taxiway configurations is provided at the end of Appendix 7

RE Conditional Use Request (CU-2016-07) with Site Plan Approval (SP-2016-05) Melbourne Airport Authority Air Traffic Control Tower Replacement
DATE April 21 2016
OwnerApplicantRepresentative Melbourne Airport Authority OwnerApplicant Brian Pendleton Airport Engineering Co Inc Representative
Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the
Melbourne International Airport on a 16plusmn acre airport site
Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan

Land Use Industrial
Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code
6 The Conditional Use must meet the r~quirements of City Code and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area public facilities and private commercial andor service facilities available within the area More specifically the proposed changes should not cause depreciation of property values or reduce the safety light and general convenience of neighboring developments
a The appearance and function of the surrounding area will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed Conditional Use since the subject site is located on property owned by the Melbourne International Airport The proposed height of the tower is governed by the FAA
b The application does not appear to impact the preservation of any City state or federally designated historic scenic archaeological or cultural resources
c The proposed project should not change the general character of the area since a variety of industrial and ayiation related uses are located in the vicinity of the subject property The proposed development is compatible with other development at the Melbourne international Airport and the building style and scale are proportionate and consistent to Airport area uses
d The application will not have significant adverse impacts on the livability and usability of nearby land due to noise dust fumes smoke glare from lights late-night operations odors truck and other delivery trips the amount location and nature of any outside displays storage or activities potential for increased litter and privacy and safety issues
e The proposed air traffic control tower is not located in proximity to any residential areas
7 Adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject property The site has direct access to NASA Boulevard The proposed use does not have a detrimental impact on the transportamiddot~on system since adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject site
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 15
8 The proposed Conditional Use is in compliance with the standards outlined in City Code Appendix B Article V Section 2 (use and dimensional standards table) and Appendix B Article IX Section 5 (Conditional Uses)
9 The applicant shall demonstrate prior to construction plan approval the financial and technical capacity to complete any improvements and the mitigation necessitated by the development as proposed and has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision of such improvements and mitigation
tbull
10 The proposed use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the particular provision of these regulations authorizing such use and by all other applicable requirements of the regulations of the City including but not limited to Article IX Section 6 site plan review standards

RE Conditional Use Request (CU-2016-07) with Site Plan Approval (SP-2016-05) Melbourne Airport Authority Air Traffic Control Tower Replacement
DATE April 21 2016
OwnerApplicantRepresentative Melbourne Airport Authority OwnerApplicant Brian Pendleton Airport Engineering Co Inc Representative
Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the
Melbourne International Airport on a 16plusmn acre airport site
Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan

Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code
6 The Conditional Use must meet the r~quirements of City Code and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area public facilities and private commercial andor service facilities available within the area More specifically the proposed changes should not cause depreciation of property values or reduce the safety light and general convenience of neighboring developments
a The appearance and function of the surrounding area will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed Conditional Use since the subject site is located on property owned by the Melbourne International Airport The proposed height of the tower is governed by the FAA
b The application does not appear to impact the preservation of any City state or federally designated historic scenic archaeological or cultural resources
c The proposed project should not change the general character of the area since a variety of industrial and ayiation related uses are located in the vicinity of the subject property The proposed development is compatible with other development at the Melbourne international Airport and the building style and scale are proportionate and consistent to Airport area uses
d The application will not have significant adverse impacts on the livability and usability of nearby land due to noise dust fumes smoke glare from lights late-night operations odors truck and other delivery trips the amount location and nature of any outside displays storage or activities potential for increased litter and privacy and safety issues
e The proposed air traffic control tower is not located in proximity to any residential areas
7 Adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject property The site has direct access to NASA Boulevard The proposed use does not have a detrimental impact on the transportamiddot~on system since adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject site
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 15
8 The proposed Conditional Use is in compliance with the standards outlined in City Code Appendix B Article V Section 2 (use and dimensional standards table) and Appendix B Article IX Section 5 (Conditional Uses)
9 The applicant shall demonstrate prior to construction plan approval the financial and technical capacity to complete any improvements and the mitigation necessitated by the development as proposed and has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision of such improvements and mitigation
tbull
10 The proposed use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the particular provision of these regulations authorizing such use and by all other applicable requirements of the regulations of the City including but not limited to Article IX Section 6 site plan review standards
Recommendation Based on the findings presented above for the project located on 16plusmn acres located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road (aka 911 Tower Access Road) the Community Development Department recommends

RE Conditional Use Request (CU-2016-07) with Site Plan Approval (SP-2016-05) Melbourne Airport Authority Air Traffic Control Tower Replacement
DATE April 21 2016
OwnerApplicantRepresentative Melbourne Airport Authority OwnerApplicant Brian Pendleton Airport Engineering Co Inc Representative
Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the
Melbourne International Airport on a 16plusmn acre airport site
Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan

Land Use Industrial
Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code
6 The Conditional Use must meet the r~quirements of City Code and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area public facilities and private commercial andor service facilities available within the area More specifically the proposed changes should not cause depreciation of property values or reduce the safety light and general convenience of neighboring developments
a The appearance and function of the surrounding area will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed Conditional Use since the subject site is located on property owned by the Melbourne International Airport The proposed height of the tower is governed by the FAA
b The application does not appear to impact the preservation of any City state or federally designated historic scenic archaeological or cultural resources
c The proposed project should not change the general character of the area since a variety of industrial and ayiation related uses are located in the vicinity of the subject property The proposed development is compatible with other development at the Melbourne international Airport and the building style and scale are proportionate and consistent to Airport area uses
d The application will not have significant adverse impacts on the livability and usability of nearby land due to noise dust fumes smoke glare from lights late-night operations odors truck and other delivery trips the amount location and nature of any outside displays storage or activities potential for increased litter and privacy and safety issues
e The proposed air traffic control tower is not located in proximity to any residential areas
7 Adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject property The site has direct access to NASA Boulevard The proposed use does not have a detrimental impact on the transportamiddot~on system since adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject site
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 15
8 The proposed Conditional Use is in compliance with the standards outlined in City Code Appendix B Article V Section 2 (use and dimensional standards table) and Appendix B Article IX Section 5 (Conditional Uses)
9 The applicant shall demonstrate prior to construction plan approval the financial and technical capacity to complete any improvements and the mitigation necessitated by the development as proposed and has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision of such improvements and mitigation
tbull
10 The proposed use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the particular provision of these regulations authorizing such use and by all other applicable requirements of the regulations of the City including but not limited to Article IX Section 6 site plan review standards
Recommendation Based on the findings presented above for the project located on 16plusmn acres located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road (aka 911 Tower Access Road) the Community Development Department recommends
A Approval of CU-2016-07 to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn feet of height) for the new air traffic control tower at the Melbourne International Airport) and
B Approval of SP-2016-05 to construct a 10758plusmn-foot tall air traffic control tower on 16plusmn acres at the Melbourne International Airport zoned M-1 on a 3-sheet site plan prepared by Airport Engineering Co Inc of Rockledge Florida Project Number 1412 with a signed and sealed date of April 13 2016 with the following conditions

This email is in response to your letter received October 15 2015 regarding potential environmental issues associated with the air traffic control tower replacement at Melbourne International Airport Based on drawings attached to your letter it does not appear that jurisdictional waters of the United States would be affected by the proposed project If that is indeed the case the US Army Corps of Engineers has no jurisdiction over the project area If there are federally listed species in the project area you will need to contact the United States Fish and Wildlife Service directly
If the project location changes such that there are questions concerning jurisdictional waters of the United States please feel free to give me a call

RE Conditional Use Request (CU-2016-07) with Site Plan Approval (SP-2016-05) Melbourne Airport Authority Air Traffic Control Tower Replacement
DATE April 21 2016
OwnerApplicantRepresentative Melbourne Airport Authority OwnerApplicant Brian Pendleton Airport Engineering Co Inc Representative
Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the
Melbourne International Airport on a 16plusmn acre airport site
Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan
History The existing air traffic control tower was constructed in the mid-1960s

Land Use Industrial
Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))

City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code
6 The Conditional Use must meet the r~quirements of City Code and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area public facilities and private commercial andor service facilities available within the area More specifically the proposed changes should not cause depreciation of property values or reduce the safety light and general convenience of neighboring developments
a The appearance and function of the surrounding area will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed Conditional Use since the subject site is located on property owned by the Melbourne International Airport The proposed height of the tower is governed by the FAA
b The application does not appear to impact the preservation of any City state or federally designated historic scenic archaeological or cultural resources
c The proposed project should not change the general character of the area since a variety of industrial and ayiation related uses are located in the vicinity of the subject property The proposed development is compatible with other development at the Melbourne international Airport and the building style and scale are proportionate and consistent to Airport area uses
d The application will not have significant adverse impacts on the livability and usability of nearby land due to noise dust fumes smoke glare from lights late-night operations odors truck and other delivery trips the amount location and nature of any outside displays storage or activities potential for increased litter and privacy and safety issues
e The proposed air traffic control tower is not located in proximity to any residential areas
7 Adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject property The site has direct access to NASA Boulevard The proposed use does not have a detrimental impact on the transportamiddot~on system since adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject site
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 15
8 The proposed Conditional Use is in compliance with the standards outlined in City Code Appendix B Article V Section 2 (use and dimensional standards table) and Appendix B Article IX Section 5 (Conditional Uses)
9 The applicant shall demonstrate prior to construction plan approval the financial and technical capacity to complete any improvements and the mitigation necessitated by the development as proposed and has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision of such improvements and mitigation
tbull
10 The proposed use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the particular provision of these regulations authorizing such use and by all other applicable requirements of the regulations of the City including but not limited to Article IX Section 6 site plan review standards
Recommendation Based on the findings presented above for the project located on 16plusmn acres located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road (aka 911 Tower Access Road) the Community Development Department recommends
A Approval of CU-2016-07 to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn feet of height) for the new air traffic control tower at the Melbourne International Airport) and
B Approval of SP-2016-05 to construct a 10758plusmn-foot tall air traffic control tower on 16plusmn acres at the Melbourne International Airport zoned M-1 on a 3-sheet site plan prepared by Airport Engineering Co Inc of Rockledge Florida Project Number 1412 with a signed and sealed date of April 13 2016 with the following conditions

Dr Byers
I received by mail the notice of the environmental assessment for the air traffic control tower replacement at Melbourne International Airport We can prepare a Standard Data Report for the site if you need an official report from the Florida Natural Areas Inventory I wanted to verify that you understood there would be a charge for this type of request Standard data reporting fees for private for-profit firms are $89 per hour with a one hour minimum a small site like this would take an hour or less An invoice will be sent after delivery of the report The details of the Standard Data Report are on our website here httpwwwfnaiorgdatarequestcfm
We also have an online Biodiversity Matrix tool that provides an aggregated view of the vicinity of a site
Please respond if you would like me to continue with your Standard Data Report

RE Conditional Use Request (CU-2016-07) with Site Plan Approval (SP-2016-05) Melbourne Airport Authority Air Traffic Control Tower Replacement
DATE April 21 2016
OwnerApplicantRepresentative Melbourne Airport Authority OwnerApplicant Brian Pendleton Airport Engineering Co Inc Representative
Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the
Melbourne International Airport on a 16plusmn acre airport site
Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan

Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code
6 The Conditional Use must meet the r~quirements of City Code and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area public facilities and private commercial andor service facilities available within the area More specifically the proposed changes should not cause depreciation of property values or reduce the safety light and general convenience of neighboring developments
a The appearance and function of the surrounding area will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed Conditional Use since the subject site is located on property owned by the Melbourne International Airport The proposed height of the tower is governed by the FAA
b The application does not appear to impact the preservation of any City state or federally designated historic scenic archaeological or cultural resources
c The proposed project should not change the general character of the area since a variety of industrial and ayiation related uses are located in the vicinity of the subject property The proposed development is compatible with other development at the Melbourne international Airport and the building style and scale are proportionate and consistent to Airport area uses
d The application will not have significant adverse impacts on the livability and usability of nearby land due to noise dust fumes smoke glare from lights late-night operations odors truck and other delivery trips the amount location and nature of any outside displays storage or activities potential for increased litter and privacy and safety issues
e The proposed air traffic control tower is not located in proximity to any residential areas
7 Adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject property The site has direct access to NASA Boulevard The proposed use does not have a detrimental impact on the transportamiddot~on system since adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject site
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 15
8 The proposed Conditional Use is in compliance with the standards outlined in City Code Appendix B Article V Section 2 (use and dimensional standards table) and Appendix B Article IX Section 5 (Conditional Uses)
9 The applicant shall demonstrate prior to construction plan approval the financial and technical capacity to complete any improvements and the mitigation necessitated by the development as proposed and has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision of such improvements and mitigation
tbull
10 The proposed use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the particular provision of these regulations authorizing such use and by all other applicable requirements of the regulations of the City including but not limited to Article IX Section 6 site plan review standards

This email is in response to your letter received October 15 2015 regarding potential environmental issues associated with the air traffic control tower replacement at Melbourne International Airport Based on drawings attached to your letter it does not appear that jurisdictional waters of the United States would be affected by the proposed project If that is indeed the case the US Army Corps of Engineers has no jurisdiction over the project area If there are federally listed species in the project area you will need to contact the United States Fish and Wildlife Service directly
If the project location changes such that there are questions concerning jurisdictional waters of the United States please feel free to give me a call

RE Conditional Use Request (CU-2016-07) with Site Plan Approval (SP-2016-05) Melbourne Airport Authority Air Traffic Control Tower Replacement
DATE April 21 2016
OwnerApplicantRepresentative Melbourne Airport Authority OwnerApplicant Brian Pendleton Airport Engineering Co Inc Representative
Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the
Melbourne International Airport on a 16plusmn acre airport site
Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan

Land Use Industrial
Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code
6 The Conditional Use must meet the r~quirements of City Code and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area public facilities and private commercial andor service facilities available within the area More specifically the proposed changes should not cause depreciation of property values or reduce the safety light and general convenience of neighboring developments
a The appearance and function of the surrounding area will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed Conditional Use since the subject site is located on property owned by the Melbourne International Airport The proposed height of the tower is governed by the FAA
b The application does not appear to impact the preservation of any City state or federally designated historic scenic archaeological or cultural resources
c The proposed project should not change the general character of the area since a variety of industrial and ayiation related uses are located in the vicinity of the subject property The proposed development is compatible with other development at the Melbourne international Airport and the building style and scale are proportionate and consistent to Airport area uses
d The application will not have significant adverse impacts on the livability and usability of nearby land due to noise dust fumes smoke glare from lights late-night operations odors truck and other delivery trips the amount location and nature of any outside displays storage or activities potential for increased litter and privacy and safety issues
e The proposed air traffic control tower is not located in proximity to any residential areas
7 Adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject property The site has direct access to NASA Boulevard The proposed use does not have a detrimental impact on the transportamiddot~on system since adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject site
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 15
8 The proposed Conditional Use is in compliance with the standards outlined in City Code Appendix B Article V Section 2 (use and dimensional standards table) and Appendix B Article IX Section 5 (Conditional Uses)
9 The applicant shall demonstrate prior to construction plan approval the financial and technical capacity to complete any improvements and the mitigation necessitated by the development as proposed and has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision of such improvements and mitigation
tbull
10 The proposed use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the particular provision of these regulations authorizing such use and by all other applicable requirements of the regulations of the City including but not limited to Article IX Section 6 site plan review standards
Recommendation Based on the findings presented above for the project located on 16plusmn acres located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road (aka 911 Tower Access Road) the Community Development Department recommends
A Approval of CU-2016-07 to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn feet of height) for the new air traffic control tower at the Melbourne International Airport) and
B Approval of SP-2016-05 to construct a 10758plusmn-foot tall air traffic control tower on 16plusmn acres at the Melbourne International Airport zoned M-1 on a 3-sheet site plan prepared by Airport Engineering Co Inc of Rockledge Florida Project Number 1412 with a signed and sealed date of April 13 2016 with the following conditions

RE Conditional Use Request (CU-2016-07) with Site Plan Approval (SP-2016-05) Melbourne Airport Authority Air Traffic Control Tower Replacement
DATE April 21 2016
OwnerApplicantRepresentative Melbourne Airport Authority OwnerApplicant Brian Pendleton Airport Engineering Co Inc Representative
Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the
Melbourne International Airport on a 16plusmn acre airport site
Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan

Land Use Industrial
Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code
6 The Conditional Use must meet the r~quirements of City Code and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area public facilities and private commercial andor service facilities available within the area More specifically the proposed changes should not cause depreciation of property values or reduce the safety light and general convenience of neighboring developments
a The appearance and function of the surrounding area will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed Conditional Use since the subject site is located on property owned by the Melbourne International Airport The proposed height of the tower is governed by the FAA
b The application does not appear to impact the preservation of any City state or federally designated historic scenic archaeological or cultural resources
c The proposed project should not change the general character of the area since a variety of industrial and ayiation related uses are located in the vicinity of the subject property The proposed development is compatible with other development at the Melbourne international Airport and the building style and scale are proportionate and consistent to Airport area uses
d The application will not have significant adverse impacts on the livability and usability of nearby land due to noise dust fumes smoke glare from lights late-night operations odors truck and other delivery trips the amount location and nature of any outside displays storage or activities potential for increased litter and privacy and safety issues
e The proposed air traffic control tower is not located in proximity to any residential areas
7 Adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject property The site has direct access to NASA Boulevard The proposed use does not have a detrimental impact on the transportamiddot~on system since adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject site
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 15
8 The proposed Conditional Use is in compliance with the standards outlined in City Code Appendix B Article V Section 2 (use and dimensional standards table) and Appendix B Article IX Section 5 (Conditional Uses)
9 The applicant shall demonstrate prior to construction plan approval the financial and technical capacity to complete any improvements and the mitigation necessitated by the development as proposed and has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision of such improvements and mitigation
tbull
10 The proposed use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the particular provision of these regulations authorizing such use and by all other applicable requirements of the regulations of the City including but not limited to Article IX Section 6 site plan review standards
Recommendation Based on the findings presented above for the project located on 16plusmn acres located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road (aka 911 Tower Access Road) the Community Development Department recommends

RE Conditional Use Request (CU-2016-07) with Site Plan Approval (SP-2016-05) Melbourne Airport Authority Air Traffic Control Tower Replacement
DATE April 21 2016
OwnerApplicantRepresentative Melbourne Airport Authority OwnerApplicant Brian Pendleton Airport Engineering Co Inc Representative
Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the
Melbourne International Airport on a 16plusmn acre airport site
Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan

Land Use Industrial
Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code

RE Conditional Use Request (CU-2016-07) with Site Plan Approval (SP-2016-05) Melbourne Airport Authority Air Traffic Control Tower Replacement

OwnerApplicantRepresentative Melbourne Airport Authority OwnerApplicant Brian Pendleton Airport Engineering Co Inc Representative
Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the
Melbourne International Airport on a 16plusmn acre airport site
Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan

Land Use Industrial
Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5

RE Conditional Use Request (CU-2016-07) with Site Plan Approval (SP-2016-05) Melbourne Airport Authority Air Traffic Control Tower Replacement
DATE April 21 2016
OwnerApplicantRepresentative Melbourne Airport Authority OwnerApplicant Brian Pendleton Airport Engineering Co Inc Representative
Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the
Melbourne International Airport on a 16plusmn acre airport site
Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan

Land Use Industrial
Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))

City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code
6 The Conditional Use must meet the r~quirements of City Code and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area public facilities and private commercial andor service facilities available within the area More specifically the proposed changes should not cause depreciation of property values or reduce the safety light and general convenience of neighboring developments
a The appearance and function of the surrounding area will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed Conditional Use since the subject site is located on property owned by the Melbourne International Airport The proposed height of the tower is governed by the FAA
b The application does not appear to impact the preservation of any City state or federally designated historic scenic archaeological or cultural resources
c The proposed project should not change the general character of the area since a variety of industrial and ayiation related uses are located in the vicinity of the subject property The proposed development is compatible with other development at the Melbourne international Airport and the building style and scale are proportionate and consistent to Airport area uses
d The application will not have significant adverse impacts on the livability and usability of nearby land due to noise dust fumes smoke glare from lights late-night operations odors truck and other delivery trips the amount location and nature of any outside displays storage or activities potential for increased litter and privacy and safety issues
e The proposed air traffic control tower is not located in proximity to any residential areas
7 Adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject property The site has direct access to NASA Boulevard The proposed use does not have a detrimental impact on the transportamiddot~on system since adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject site
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 15
8 The proposed Conditional Use is in compliance with the standards outlined in City Code Appendix B Article V Section 2 (use and dimensional standards table) and Appendix B Article IX Section 5 (Conditional Uses)
9 The applicant shall demonstrate prior to construction plan approval the financial and technical capacity to complete any improvements and the mitigation necessitated by the development as proposed and has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision of such improvements and mitigation

Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the
Melbourne International Airport on a 16plusmn acre airport site
Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan

Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code
6 The Conditional Use must meet the r~quirements of City Code and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area public facilities and private commercial andor service facilities available within the area More specifically the proposed changes should not cause depreciation of property values or reduce the safety light and general convenience of neighboring developments
a The appearance and function of the surrounding area will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed Conditional Use since the subject site is located on property owned by the Melbourne International Airport The proposed height of the tower is governed by the FAA
b The application does not appear to impact the preservation of any City state or federally designated historic scenic archaeological or cultural resources
c The proposed project should not change the general character of the area since a variety of industrial and ayiation related uses are located in the vicinity of the subject property The proposed development is compatible with other development at the Melbourne international Airport and the building style and scale are proportionate and consistent to Airport area uses
d The application will not have significant adverse impacts on the livability and usability of nearby land due to noise dust fumes smoke glare from lights late-night operations odors truck and other delivery trips the amount location and nature of any outside displays storage or activities potential for increased litter and privacy and safety issues
e The proposed air traffic control tower is not located in proximity to any residential areas
7 Adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject property The site has direct access to NASA Boulevard The proposed use does not have a detrimental impact on the transportamiddot~on system since adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject site
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 15
8 The proposed Conditional Use is in compliance with the standards outlined in City Code Appendix B Article V Section 2 (use and dimensional standards table) and Appendix B Article IX Section 5 (Conditional Uses)

Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the

Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request

Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the

Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan

Land Use Industrial
Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval

RE Conditional Use Request (CU-2016-07) with Site Plan Approval (SP-2016-05) Melbourne Airport Authority Air Traffic Control Tower Replacement

OwnerApplicantRepresentative Melbourne Airport Authority OwnerApplicant Brian Pendleton Airport Engineering Co Inc Representative
Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the

Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan

Land Use Industrial
Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code
6 The Conditional Use must meet the r~quirements of City Code and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area public facilities and private commercial andor service facilities available within the area More specifically the proposed changes should not cause depreciation of property values or reduce the safety light and general convenience of neighboring developments
a The appearance and function of the surrounding area will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed Conditional Use since the subject site is located on property owned by the Melbourne International Airport The proposed height of the tower is governed by the FAA

RE Conditional Use Request (CU-2016-07) with Site Plan Approval (SP-2016-05) Melbourne Airport Authority Air Traffic Control Tower Replacement
DATE April 21 2016
OwnerApplicantRepresentative Melbourne Airport Authority OwnerApplicant Brian Pendleton Airport Engineering Co Inc Representative
Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the
Melbourne International Airport on a 16plusmn acre airport site
Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan

Land Use Industrial
Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code
6 The Conditional Use must meet the r~quirements of City Code and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area public facilities and private commercial andor service facilities available within the area More specifically the proposed changes should not cause depreciation of property values or reduce the safety light and general convenience of neighboring developments
a The appearance and function of the surrounding area will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed Conditional Use since the subject site is located on property owned by the Melbourne International Airport The proposed height of the tower is governed by the FAA
b The application does not appear to impact the preservation of any City state or federally designated historic scenic archaeological or cultural resources
c The proposed project should not change the general character of the area since a variety of industrial and ayiation related uses are located in the vicinity of the subject property The proposed development is compatible with other development at the Melbourne international Airport and the building style and scale are proportionate and consistent to Airport area uses
d The application will not have significant adverse impacts on the livability and usability of nearby land due to noise dust fumes smoke glare from lights late-night operations odors truck and other delivery trips the amount location and nature of any outside displays storage or activities potential for increased litter and privacy and safety issues
e The proposed air traffic control tower is not located in proximity to any residential areas
7 Adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject property The site has direct access to NASA Boulevard The proposed use does not have a detrimental impact on the transportamiddot~on system since adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject site
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 15
8 The proposed Conditional Use is in compliance with the standards outlined in City Code Appendix B Article V Section 2 (use and dimensional standards table) and Appendix B Article IX Section 5 (Conditional Uses)
9 The applicant shall demonstrate prior to construction plan approval the financial and technical capacity to complete any improvements and the mitigation necessitated by the development as proposed and has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision of such improvements and mitigation
tbull
10 The proposed use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the particular provision of these regulations authorizing such use and by all other applicable requirements of the regulations of the City including but not limited to Article IX Section 6 site plan review standards
Recommendation Based on the findings presented above for the project located on 16plusmn acres located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road (aka 911 Tower Access Road) the Community Development Department recommends

RE Conditional Use Request (CU-2016-07) with Site Plan Approval (SP-2016-05) Melbourne Airport Authority Air Traffic Control Tower Replacement
DATE April 21 2016
OwnerApplicantRepresentative Melbourne Airport Authority OwnerApplicant Brian Pendleton Airport Engineering Co Inc Representative
Proposed Action ~ Conditional Use - to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn
feet) for the new air traffic control tower in an M-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district and ~ Site Plan Approval - to allow construction of a new air traffic control tower at the
Melbourne International Airport on a 16plusmn acre airport site
Location The property is located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road in Township 27 South~ Range 37 East Section 32 (fka 911 Tower Access Road)
The conditional use area includes and slightly expands the existing air traffic control parcel on land owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority The property has an Industrial Future Land Use classification and M-1 Zoning This property is classified as Future Aviation Related property per the Melbourne Airport Layout Plan and the Airport Master Plan

Land Use Industrial
Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENnPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P ge 14
3 The proposed height of the tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight for airport operations The height of the tower is imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
4 The Melbourne International Airport Authority has reviewed and affirmed the proposed project for consistency with the Airport Master Plan
5 The site is designated as Industrial on the FLUM and is zoned M-1 The M-1 zone permits a variety of aviation and industrial uses and additional building height is a conditional use in this district This conditional use is subject to Appendix B Article IX Section 5 of City Code
6 The Conditional Use must meet the r~quirements of City Code and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area public facilities and private commercial andor service facilities available within the area More specifically the proposed changes should not cause depreciation of property values or reduce the safety light and general convenience of neighboring developments
a The appearance and function of the surrounding area will not be significantly lessened due to the proposed Conditional Use since the subject site is located on property owned by the Melbourne International Airport The proposed height of the tower is governed by the FAA
b The application does not appear to impact the preservation of any City state or federally designated historic scenic archaeological or cultural resources
c The proposed project should not change the general character of the area since a variety of industrial and ayiation related uses are located in the vicinity of the subject property The proposed development is compatible with other development at the Melbourne international Airport and the building style and scale are proportionate and consistent to Airport area uses
d The application will not have significant adverse impacts on the livability and usability of nearby land due to noise dust fumes smoke glare from lights late-night operations odors truck and other delivery trips the amount location and nature of any outside displays storage or activities potential for increased litter and privacy and safety issues
e The proposed air traffic control tower is not located in proximity to any residential areas
7 Adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject property The site has direct access to NASA Boulevard The proposed use does not have a detrimental impact on the transportamiddot~on system since adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve the subject site
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 15
8 The proposed Conditional Use is in compliance with the standards outlined in City Code Appendix B Article V Section 2 (use and dimensional standards table) and Appendix B Article IX Section 5 (Conditional Uses)
9 The applicant shall demonstrate prior to construction plan approval the financial and technical capacity to complete any improvements and the mitigation necessitated by the development as proposed and has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision of such improvements and mitigation
tbull
10 The proposed use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the particular provision of these regulations authorizing such use and by all other applicable requirements of the regulations of the City including but not limited to Article IX Section 6 site plan review standards
Recommendation Based on the findings presented above for the project located on 16plusmn acres located on Tower Access Road north of Grumman Place and east of Woody Burke Road (aka 911 Tower Access Road) the Community Development Department recommends
A Approval of CU-2016-07 to allow a building height of 10758plusmn feet (an additional 1158plusmn feet of height) for the new air traffic control tower at the Melbourne International Airport) and
B Approval of SP-2016-05 to construct a 10758plusmn-foot tall air traffic control tower on 16plusmn acres at the Melbourne International Airport zoned M-1 on a 3-sheet site plan prepared by Airport Engineering Co Inc of Rockledge Florida Project Number 1412 with a signed and sealed date of April 13 2016 with the following conditions

Conditional Use Analysis The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use approval to allow the new air traffic control tower at a height of 107 58plusmn feet
Height City Code Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (E) allows for a building height of up to 96 feet in this part of the Airport Overlay Zone Uses requiring a height greater than 96 feet tall may be permitted if granted conditional use approval by City Council Appendix 8 Article IX Section 5 establishes general standards to consider when evaluating the merits of a conditional use permit request
The conditional use area incorporates 16plusmn acres connected with the Melbourne International Airport The request is to allow for a building height of 10758plusmn feet (1158plusmn additional feet in height) The permitted height for this area of the Airport Overlay Zone is 96 feet The height of the new air traffic control tower is governed by criteria set forth with the FAA which has changed considerably since the mid-1960s when the original tower was constructed In addition the airfield at the airport has expanded so the taller air traffic control tower is necessary to provide the required vertical line of sight
Consistent with Appendix 8 Article IV Section 1 (C) the proposed building was reviewed for impacts to scenic views and the additional height should not further block the breeze and light to adjacent properties and sidewalk area The request meets the minimum lot size of 22500 square feet and the minimum lot width of at least 150 feet There are no solar energy panels on adjacent structures or property that will be shadowed by the extra height
The area is surrounded by industrially-zoned property owned by the Melbourne Airport Authority therefore there is no abutting single-family residential useszoning
Since the approval of additional height is LESS than 100 of the permitted height such consideration WILL NOT require a five-sevenths (5fl) vote of City Council (City Code Appendix B Article IV Section 1(C)(1)(f))
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC Page 12
City Code Appendix B Article IV Section1 (C)1 (f) states that conditional use requests to increase building height by up to 100 of the permitted height will require meeting additional standards such as additional breezeway landscape requirements andor other public benefits as deemed necessary by the City Breezeway would not be applicable under these circumstances (the airport is a large open area by its design) The use of additional landscaping is also not appropriate at the airport and the airport has a variance to not provide treeslandscaping in certain areas around the airport
Public Benefit Under traditional circumstances a request for additional height is accompanied by an increase in density intensityfloor area In this case the use of the requested additional height is of a scale that replaces the existing air traffic control tower to be more effective in daily air travel and will be consistent with the FAA technical and operational requirements (FAA Order 64804A) The height of the building does not increase the densityintensity of the building Therefore staff is recommending that a condition to require a specific public benefit improvement not be tied to this particular request
Staff has assessed the compatibility with the surrounding area with the project and the public benefit improvements and does not find any negative issues with the request
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
Project Description The project consists of the construction of a new air traffic control tower
The project area includes the existing 092plusmn-acre air traffic control property and the proposed 068plusmn-acre property The new tower is 26 feet wide by 26 feet long and is 10758 feet tall with eight floors (two of these floors are for equipment only) All associated site improvements such as the existing driveways parking sidewalks fencing utilities stormwater management and landscaping will also be modified to accommodate the tower replacement including 12 employee parking spaces and one handicapped parking space All surrounding properties are zoned industrially Once the new air traffic control tower is in full operation the FAA will commence with the demolition of the existing tower
Access The only access to the site will be from Tower Access Road
Stormwater The existing dry retention area will be modified to meet the new impervious area created by the tower replacement The proposed stormwater management system will be required to meet the requirements of City Code Chapter 50
Water and Sewer The existing water and sewer will be modified and relocated to connect to the new air traffic control tower consistent with Chapter 5
GCOMMUNITY _DEVELOPMENTPEDPampZBOARD2016AGENDA MEMOS04-21-16 MEMOSDOC P g e 13
Landscaping The project will meet all requirements of Appendix D Chapter 9 Article XV for landscape areas to be designed for construction plan review and consideration
Environmental Impact Analysis In the Environmental Assessment Form for the air traffic control tower prepared in March 2016 by the Federal Aviation Administration the location of the building will be in an area currently developed with the existing tower and driveways equipment and related improvements The expansion area will only slightly impact the adjacent tree area (to the east) The applicant agrees to selectively clear and only remove the trees in the proposed fill area identified on the plan The applicant will be required to obtain the necessary permits to relocate any gopher tortoises identified prior to construction plan approval
As with all development projects applicable permits will be required prior to construction plan approval
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) The subject property is not located within the Joint Planning Agreement area
ConcurrencyMobility The proposed air traffic control tower will replace an existing control tower The applicant has indicated that the number of personnel at the new tower will remain static and not increase Consequently this specific proposal does not generate additional automobile trips Accordingly the applicant will not be required to provide mobility standards or make a payment in lieu of constructing the standards
The Citys Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan indicates that adequate potable water is available to serve the subject site The City also has adequate sanitary sewer service available to serve the subject property The applicant intends to modify the existing water and sewer lines as needed to connect to the new air traffic control tower As such no water or sewer impact fees will be required for the project
Findings for the Conditional UseSite Plan 1 The requested Conditional Use to allow a building height of up to 107plusmn feet with
site plan approval to construct an air traffic control tower on an overall 160plusmn acre property zoned M-1 is consistent with the areas Industrial Future Land Use designation and the goals objectives and policies of the Citys Comprehensive Plan
2 The proposal is specifically consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1132 which states development within and around the Airport Area (area bounded on the north by Sarno Road on the south by Hibiscus Boulevard on the east by the Indian River and on the west by the St Johns River) shall be consistent with the Melbourne International Airport Master Plan and subsequent updates
