Re:
Motorola PID - HTEX #95-001
(Height exception for 100 foot antenna)
please place the above-referenced request on the August 1, 1995
City Commission agenda for Commission action under development
plans.
NATURE OF REQUEST
Mr. Jim Allen of STH architectural group, agent for Motorola, has
requested an exception to the city's 45 foot height limit for the
construction of a one hundred (100) foot high antenna at the
Motorola PID, located at the southeast corner of Congress Avenue
and Gateway Boulevard (see Exhibit "A" for letter of request and
Exhibit "B" for location map).
BACKGROUND
Chapter 2 - Zoning, Section 4.F. HEIGHT LIMITATIONS AND
EXCEPTIONS, of the Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations
requires, in part, that structures exceeding 45 feet in height
are not allowed, except that "water, cooling and fire towers,
radio and television towers of commercial nature, church spires,
domes, cupolas, flagpoles, electrical and mechanical support
systems, and similar structures, and their necessary mechanical
appurtenances may be erected within a structure or on top of the
structure", above the district height limitations after obtaining
approval of the city Commission based on their consideration of
the standards for evaluating exceptions to district height
regulations. In considering an application for exception to the
district height regulation, the city Commission shall make
findings indicating the proposed exception has been studied and
considered in relation to the standards ~-, where applicable.
The City Commission may, in conjunction ith processing of the
application for exception, refer same t the Planning and
Development Board. Furthermore, no adv,ertising or special notice
req~irements are required.
L " ~
ANALYSI . ~--f ~ /
Three antenna'devices (no more than five in the future) are
proposed to be attacl1ed to a monopole structure~xtending 100
feet above the sur~ou~~g ground. This ~9nop6ie will be erected
adj acent to a new antenna bUilding,.wh-ien will require a future
site plan approval (see attached Exhibit "C" for map of detailed
location of monopole and proposed ele.v,~tion of this structure).
The antenna dev).'zes are to be solely use~ internal facility
comrnunicatiop.s' and research and development and--R.ot_,leased to
others fort"'-commercial purposes. ",
The height exceptlon standards are listed below, including the
applicant's response (paraphrased; Exhibit "D" contains a copy of
the applicant's submitted response) and staff's response:

~ AL ,j n,/ Standard a. Whether the height exception will have an adverse
~~~~~~ effect on the existing and proposed land uses. "
~~ The land uses in the immediate area are as follows:
North - Motorola's main facility, zoned "PID; further north
(2,300 feet) is Gateway Boulevard. The Shoppes of Boynton
is located north of Gateway Boulevard and is zoned C-3.
East - Motorola's main facility; further east is the
L.W.D.D. E-4 canal (approximately 1200 feet to
the canal) and across the canal is the Quantum Park PID.
The proposed high school is planned for the parcels within
the PID immediately east of the canal.
South - Motorola's athletic fields (mainly open space);
further east is the C-16, Boynton Canal (approximately 1500
feet to the canal). Across the canal is a large tract of
undeveloped land, zoned Single-family Residential (R1AA).
<(
West - Motorola's materials handling building with Congress
Avenue further west (approximately 1200 feet to Congress
Avenue). Across Congress Avenue is the Catalina Center,
zoned C-3. ~
The antenna is close to the ce r of the Motorola site and
does provide the most distance/~A~~rounding land uses.
There is some concern regarding~e~sting day care center
within the Motorola PID and the adjacent undeveloped,
residential property to the south with regards to the
electromagnetic fields generated by the antenna devices. To
staff's knowledge, research is inconclusive with respect to
the impact of electromagnetic fields in nearby proximity to
residential areas and schools (prolonged exposure). Exhibit
"E" contains Motorola's response to this concern, which is
that F.e.C. standards are met and the antenna is not a
public health hazard, however supporting data was requested
and has not yet been received as of the date of this
memorandum. I~ is known that the combined frequency of the
three antenna devices is approximately 1,790 MHz at 137
watts. A future addition of two antenna devices would add
1,403 MHz at 300 watts.
standard b. Whether the height exception is necessary.
Motorola indicates that the antenna is vital to their
operations and due to the requirements of new paging
products, this antenna is now necessary.
Standard c. Whether the height exception will severely reduce
light and air in adjacent areas.
with a monopole structure there will be no affect on light
or air in the area.
standard d. Whether the exception will be a deterrent to the
/' improvement or development of adjacertt property in accordance
~ with existing regulations. "
tbwf't(jf As previously mentioned there is single-family zoned land
south of the Motorola property that is currently vacant land
~ ,A~ is the primary area tha~.might be adversely affected.

adjacent single-family zoned property, but also to the

Avenue and Gateway Boulevard) and public health hazards.
The public health hazards cannot be substantiated and in
addition, the antenna devices and monopole must be windload
requirements.
with regard to aesthetics, through the years the Commission
has done many things to control ae$thetics in this area,
such as median landscaping, architectural review and
controls, and more specifically adoption of a new community
design plan which specifically governs overhead doors, the
rear design of buildings, limited use of neon and multiple
colors, and the like. Antenna devices are going to become
even more of a reality as technology advances, therefore a
balance needs to be struck, such as distances between
antenna devices and control of the architectural design.
Monopoles are a visual improvement over towers, but can even
be designed to resemble trees; this technology is probably
costly.
From the Motorola property, the only major antenna that can
be seen is the city's 300 foot communications tower. The
high school in Quantum will most likely need several antenna
devices, judging from other school facilities, leaving the
possibility of a concentration of antenna devices in this
area. Since the high school will have educational
/)~connections~to Motorola, it should be investigated whether
~". the high school and Motorola could combine and share thei~
a~nna ~eeds to mini~iz~ the, impact on t~e landscape~~/'~ ~

standard g. Whether the height exception will constitute a grant
of a special privilege to an individual owner as contrasted with
the public welfare.
The height exceptions that have been granted (the city's 300
foot tower along 1-95 and a 100 foot antenna for WXEL on
Congress Avenue) served public purposes. Congress Avenue
Middle School has three antenna poles (their height is not
known since the school did not go through the city's
approval process) for broadcasting and educational purposes.
Therefore, it could be argued that this approval will grant
a special privilege to an individual owner.

Standard h. Whether sufficient evidence has been presented to
justify the need for a height exception~
Based on the materials that have been submitted, there may
be evidence to justify Motorola's stated need for a height
exception, while providing for assurances that the impact to
the traveling public can be minimized. It is n~ted that
additional landscaping, although not possible 0 screen a
I 100 foot monopole structure, could be a bene t in the
\ vicinity of the monopole on Motorola's prop ty, since there
~ are broad expanses of grass, without lands aping, in the
vicinity of the proposed location of the onopole.

RECOMMENDATION
AS requested, staff is not presenting a recommendation regarding

Re: Motorola Antenna
Dear Ms. Heyden:
On behalf of our client, Motorola, Inc., we are requesting an exemption to the
zoning height limitations to be placed before the City Counsel to permit the
construction of a 100' tall antenna tower located outside of the southeast corner
of the truck dock yard of the main Boynton Beach facility. Enclosed please find
a reduced copy of the site plan and exterior elevation of the proposed antenna
tower. As you may be aware, Motorola manufactures paging devices and this
antenna is necessary for the development of new products and to permit
intercommunication between the numerous Motorola facilities in the local area.
It is our understanding that a fee of $250.00 is required with this application.
We have enclosed this fee along with Motorola's authorization for STH to act as
their agent.
If you have any questions or require any further information, please do not
hesitate to contact me immediately.
Sincerely, _ ..

Re: Motorola Antenna
Dear Ms. Heyden:
In a telephone conversation with Gary Lanker of your office on July 18, 1995, it
was requested that correspondence be provided to the City addressing each of the
nine standards listed in paragraph 3 on page 2-7 of the Zoning Ordinances for the
City of Boynton Beach as it pertains to Motorola's application for exceptions to
the district height regulations for the construction of an antenna. I have
enclosed a copy of page 2-7 of the City of Boynton Beach Zoning Ordinances for
your i nformat i on and reference. The fo 11 owi ng responses are numbered as
indicated in the Zoning Ordinances and as follows:
Item 3A:
Item 3B:
As you may be aware, the Motorola site is at the southeast corner
of Congress Avenue and Northwest 22nd Avenue (Gateway Boulevard).
The proposed antenna is located approximately in the center of the
overall site. To the east of the Motorola site is undeveloped land
currently zoned PID. To the south of the Motorola site is
undeveloped property having an RlAA zoning. West of the Motorola
site and Congress Avenue, the zoning is commercial C3 zoning and the
land north of the Motorola site and Northwest 22nd Avenue is also
commercial C3 zoning and PIDzoning. We know of absolutely no reason
that the construction of the proposed antenna would have an adverse
effect on the existing and proposed land uses adjacent to the
Motorola property.
As indicated in our letter of application, the height exemption is
necessary to permit the construction of an antenna which is vital
to the research and testing of future paging products as well as
communication between the various Motorola facilities within the
area. An antenna of lesser height will not provide Motorola with
the range that is required for their testing programs and
communication.

Item 31:
The construction of this antenna will in no way reduce the light and air
of adjacent areas.
We do not in any way see that the construction of this antenna would be
a deterrent to the improvement or development of adjacent property in
accord with existing regulations.
The construction of this antenna should have absolutely no adverse effect
on property values in adjacent areas.
The proposed antenna also will not adversely influence living conditions
in the neighborhood.
Granting the height exception for the construction of this antenna will
not constitute granting Motorola a special privilege as contrasted with
the public welfare. The Owner represents that this antenna will pose no
danger to the public health, safety and welfare.
Since the construction of the original Motorola facility in Boynton Beach
several years ago, many satellite offices have been opened in the vicinity.
The number of these satellite offices now operating make it necessary to
expand their communications capabilities. This antenna will permit
internal~ommunications between the different satellite facilities within
the main facility. This antenna will also be used for research and
development of future pagi ng systems. Thi s antenna wi 11 provide the
ability to transmit or receive paging signals from a far greater distance
then they are currently able to receive or transmit.
No response required.
If you have any questions or require clarification to any of our responses above,
please do not hesitate to contact me immediately.

Dear Ms. Heyden:
In a telephone conversation with Gary lanker of your office on July 20, 1995, it
was requested that five (5) additional issues or concerns of the CIty be
addressed in writing. These five (5) concerns with responses are as follows:
1. Is it possible to locate this antenna at the Quantum Park facility?
ResDonse: The irunk communication 1 ines are currently at the main Motorola
facility and not at the Quantum Park facility. All testing is performed
at the main facility. It is not economically feasible to relocate the
commun i cat ions trunk 1 i nes or test i ng programs for Motorola to the Quantum
Park facility.
2. What type of FCC classification is required for this antenna?
ResDonse: Motorola has represented that all FCC licenses for this antenna
are in place.
3. What is the electromagnetic field or impact to the adjacent areas including
the child care center?
ResDonse: Motorola has represented that the electromagnetic emissions fall
below FCC maximum allowable standards and that supporting data can be
provided upon request.
4. Is the need for an antenna a new requirement? Why is the antenna needed
now?

ResDonse: Motorola has indicated that they have needed an antenna for
quite some timet but up until this pointt they have been able to do
without. Due to the requirements of new paging projectst this antenna has
now become necessary.
5. Will the antenna be used for commercial purposes or will it be used solely
for Motorol a internal communications and research and development purposes?
ResDonse: Motorola represents that this antenna will be solely used for
internal communications and research and development and will not be used
for commercial purposes.
We have also enclosed manufacturers cut sheets of the antenna pole as requested
by Gary Lanker. We are in the process of taking photographs of the Motorola site
and will forward them to you as soon as possible. If you have any questions
regarding our response or feel that we have misunderstood your concernst please
do not hesitate to call me.

Ict:il Base Station Antenna Systems
"
.
For nearly four decades, base
station engineering at A/S has
had one objective: to develop
RF site antennas that not only
perform the required basic tasks
exceptionally well, but also
provide practical extra value,
from simplicity of installation
to superior reliability and cost
effectiveness. And in ()\Ier
35 years we've never been
outdistanced.

Re: Motorola Antenna
Dear Ms. Heyden:
On behalf of our clientt Motorolat Inc.t we are requesting an exemption to the
zoning height limitations to be placed before the City Counsel to permit the
construction of a 100' tall antenna tower located outside of the southeast corner
of the truck dock yard of the main Boynton Beach facility. Enclosed please find
a reduced copy of the site plan and exterior elevation of the proposed antenna
tower. As you may be awaret Motorola manufactures paging devices and this
antenna is necessary for the development of new products and to permit
intercommunication between the numerous Motorola facilities in the local area.
It is our understanding that a fee of $250.00 is required with this application.
We have enclosed this fee along with Motorola's authorization for 5TH to act as
their agent.
If you have any questions or require any further informationt please do not
hesitate to contact me immediately.

Re: Motorola Antenna
Dear Ms. Heyden:
In a telephone conversation with Gary lanker of your office on July 18, 1995, it
was requested that correspondence be provided to the City addressing each of the
nine standards listed in paragraph 3 on page 2-7 of the Zoning Ordinances for the
City of Boynton Beach as it pertains to Motorola's application for exceptions to
the di stri ct hei ght regul at ions for the construction of an antenna. I have
enclosed a copy of page 2-7 of the City of Boynton Beach Zoning Ordinances for
your information and reference. The following responses are numbered as
indicated in the Zoning Ordinances and as follows:
Item 3A:
Item 3B:
As you may be aware, the Motorola site is at the southeast corner
of Congress Avenue and Northwest 22nd Avenue (Gateway Boulevard).
The proposed antenna is located approximately in the center of the
overall site. To the east of the Motorola site is undeveloped land
currently zoned PID. To the south of the Motorola site is
undeveloped property having an R1AA zoning. West of the Motorola
site and Congress Avenue, the zoning is commercial C3 zoning and the
land north of the Motorola site and Northwest 22nd Avenue is also
commercial C3 zoning and PID zoning. We know of absolutely no reason
that the construction of the proposed antenna would have an adverse
effect on the exi st i ng and proposed 1 and uses adj acent to the
Motorola property.
As indicated in our letter of application, the height exemption is
necessary to permit the construction of an antenna which is vital
to the research and testing of future paging products as well as
communication between the various Motorola facilities within the
area. An antenna of lesser height will not provide Motorola with
the range that is required for their testing programs and
communication.

Item 3C:
Item 3D:
Item 3E:
Item 3F:
Item 3G:
Item 3H:
Item 31:
The construction of this antenna will in no way reduce the light and air
of adjacent areas.
We do not in any way see that the construction of this antenna would be
a deterrent to the improvement or deve 1 opment of adj acent property in
accord with existing regulations.
The construction of this antenna should have absolutely no adverse effect
on property values in adjacent areas.
The proposed antenna also will not adversely influence living conditions
in the neighborhood.
Granting the height exception for the construction of this antenna will
not constitute granting Motorola a special privilege as contrasted with
the public welfare. The Owner represents that this antenna will pose no
danger to the public health, safety and welfare.
Since the construction of the original Motorola facility in Boynton Beach
several years ago, many satellite offices have been opened in the vicinity.
The number of these satellite offices now operating make it necessary to
expand thei r commun i cat ions capabil it i es. Th is antenna wi 11 permi t
internal communications between the different satellite facilities within
the main facility. This antenna will also be used for research and
deve 1 opment of future pag i ng systems. Th is antenna will provi de the
ability to transmit or receive paging signals from a far greater distance
then they are currently able to receive or transmit.
No response required.
If you have any questions or require clarification to any of our responses above,
please do not hesitate to contact me immediately.

3. In considering an application for exception to the
district height regulation, the City Commission shall
make findings indicating the proposed exception has
been studied and considered in relation to ~!e
following standards, where applicable:
a. . Whether the height exception will have IU, adverse
effect on the'axisting and proposed land~ses.
Whether the height exception is necessary.
Whether the height exception will severely reduce
light and air in adj acent areas. .
Whether the height exception will be a deterrent
to the improvement or development of adj4cent
property in accord with existing regulations.
Whether the height exception will adversely
affect property values in adjacent areas.
Whether the height exception will adversely
influence living conditions in the neighborhood.
Whether the height exception will constitute a
grant ot a special privilege to an individual
owner a8 contrasted with the pUblic welfa:t'e.
Whether sufficient evidence has been pr.~anted to
justify the need for a height exception.
The Citr Cammission may, in connection with
process ng of application for exception
hereunder, refer same to the planning and'
development board for recommendation.

.
For nearly four decades, base
station engineering at A/S has
had one objective: to develop
RF site antennas that not only
perform the required basic tasks
exceptionally well, but also
provide practical extra value,
from simplicity of installation
to superior reliability and cost
effectiveness. And in over
35 years we've never been
outdistanced.

Re: Motorola Antenna
Dear Ms. Heyden:
On behalf of our client, Motorola, Inc., we are requesting an exemption to the
zoning height limitations to be placed before the City Counsel to permit the
construction of a 100' tall antenna tower located outside of the southeast corner
of the truck dock yard of the main Boynton Beach facility. Enclosed please find
a reduced copy of the site plan and exterior elevation of the proposed antenna
tower. As you may be aware, Motorola manufactures pag i ng devi ces and th is
antenna is necessary for the development of new products and to permit
intercommunication between the numerous Motorola facilities in the local area.
It is our understanding that a fee of $250.00 is required with this application.
We have enclosed this fee along with Motorola's authorization for STH to act as
their agent.
I f you have any quest ions or requi re any further i nformat ion, please do not
hesitate to contact me immediately.
Sincerely,. .,

Re: Motorola Antenna
Dear Ms. Heyden:
In a telephone conversation with Gary Lanker of your office on July 18, 1995, it
was requested that correspondence be provided to the City addressing each of the
nine standards listed in paragraph 3 on page 2-7 of the Zoning Ordinances for the
City of Boynton Beach as it pertains to Motorola's application for exceptions to
the district height regulations for the construction of an antenna. I have
enclosed a copy of page 2-7 of the City of Boynton Beach Zoning Ordinances for
your information and reference. The following responses are numbered as
indicated in the Zoning Ordinances and as follows:
Item 3A:
Item 3B:
As you may be aware, the Motorola site is at the southeast corner
of Congress Avenue and Northwest 22nd Avenue (Gateway Boulevard).
The proposed antenna is located approximately in the center of the
overall site. To the east of the Motorola site is undeveloped land
currently zoned PID. To the south of the Motorola site is
undeveloped property having an RIAA zoning. West of the Motorola
site and Congress Avenue, the zoning is commercial C3 zoning and the
land north of the Motorola site and Northwest 22nd Avenue is also
commercial C3 zoning and PID zoning. We know of absolutely no reason
that the construction of the proposed antenna would have an adverse
effect on the exi st i ng and proposed land uses adjacent to the
Motorola property.
As indicated in our letter of application, the height exemption is
necessary to permit the construction of an antenna which is vital
to the research and testing of future paging products as well as
communication between the various Motorola facilities within the
area. An antenna of lesser height will not provide Motorola with
the range that is required for their testing programs and
communication.

Item 3E:
Item 3F:
Il.
Item 3G:
Item 3H:
Item 31:
The construction of this antenna will in no way reduce the light and air
of adjacent areas.
We do not 1n any way see that the construction of this antenna would be
a deterrent to the improvement or development of adjacent property in
accord with existing regulations.
The construction of this antenna should have absolutely no adverse effect
on property values in adjacent areas.
The proposed antenna also will not adversely influence living conditions
in the neighborhood.
Granting the height exception for the construction of this antenna will
not constitute granting Motorola a special privilege as contrasted with
the public welfare. The Owner represents that this antenna will pose no
danger to the public health, safety and welfare.
Since the construction of the original Motorola facility in Boynton Beach
several years ago, many satellite offices have been opened in the vicinity.
The number of these satellite offices now operating make it necessary to
expand thei r communi cat ions capabil it i es. Thi s antenna will permit
internal communications between the different satellite facilities within
the ma in fac il ity. Th is antenna wi 11 also be used for research and
development of future paging systems. This antenna will provide the
ability to transmit or receive paging signals from a far greater distance
then they are currently able to receive or transmit.
No response required.
If you have any questions or require clarification to any of our responses above,
please do not hesitate to contact me immediately.

Re: Motorola Antenna
Dear Ms. Heyden:
In a telephone conversation with Gary lanker of your office on July 20, 1995, it
was requested that five (5) additional issues or concerns of the City be
addressed in writing. These five (5) concerns with responses are as follows:
1. Is it possible to locate this antenna at the Quantum Park facility?
Response: The trunk communication 1 ines are currently at the main Motorol a
facility and not at the Quantum Park facility. All testing is performed
at the main facility. It is not economically feasible to relocate the
communications trunk lines or testing programs for Motorola to the Quantum
Park facil ity.
2. What type of FCC classification is required for this antenna?
ResDonse: Motorola has represented that all FCC licenses for this antenna
are in place.
3. What is the electromagnetic field or impact to the adjacent areas including
the child care center?
ResDonse: Motorola has represented that the electromagnetic emissions fall
below FCC maximum allowable standards and that supporting data can be
provided upon request.
4. Is the need for an antenna a new requirement? Why is the antenna needed
now?

ResDonse: Motorola has indicated that they have needed an antenna for
quite some time, but up until this point, they have been able to do
without. Due to the requirements of new paging projects, this antenna has
now become necessary.
5. Will the antenna be used for commercial purposes or will it be used solely
for Motoro 1 a i nterna 1 commun i cat ions and research and development purposes?
ResDonse: Motorola represents that this antenna will be solely used for
internal communications and research and development and will not be used
for commercial purposes.
We have also enclosed manufacturers cut sheets of the antenna pole as requested
by Gary Lanker. We are in the process of taking photographs of the Motorola site
and wi 11 forward them to you as soon as poss i bl e. If you have any questions
regarding our response or feel that we have misunderstood your concerns, please
do not hesitate to call me.
Sincerely,

.
For nearly four decades, base
station engineering at A/S has
had one objective: to develop
RF site antennas that not only
perform the required basic tasks
exceptionally well, but also
provide practical extra value,
from simplicity of installation
to superior reliability and cost
effectiveness. And in over
35 years we've never been
outdistanced.

MONOPOLE TOWER ANTENNA ARRANGEMENT:
The initial tower structure will support 3 omnidirectional antenna at
various heights on the monopole tower. No more than 5 antennas will ever be
placed on the tower. All antenna will be mounted on a bracket extending 6 foot
from the monopole and the related cabling will be run inside the pole itself.
The 3 antenna will include the following systems:
1. Transmit Trunk Antenna, output of which is 37 Watts. 860.3875 MHz.
2. Receive Trunk Antenna, no output
3. Paging Test Frequency, 929.0875 MHz at 100 Watts
Future Expansion:
4. Paging Frequency, 462.900MHz at 100 Watts, not yet licensed.
5. Paging 2 way Frequency, 940.225Mhz, 200 Watts
