TELECOMMUNICATION TERMS. See § 23.22.240.
(1) ANTENNA. Any system of wires, poles, rods, horizontal or vertical elements, panels, reflecting discs, or similar devices used for the transmission and/or reception of electromagnetic waves.
(2) CO-LOCATION. The location of two or more wireless communications facilities owned or used by more than one public or private entity on a single support structure, or otherwise sharing a common location. CO-LOCATION also includes the location of wireless communications facilities with other facilities, such as buildings, water tanks, light standards, and other utility facilities and structures.
(3) MAST. A pole of wood or metal or a tower fabricated of metal that is used to support an antenna and maintain it at the proper elevation.
(4) MULTI-USER TELECOMMUNICATION FACILITY. A telecommunication facility comprised of multiple telecommunication towers or buildings supporting one
or more antennas owned or used by more than one public or private entity, excluding research and development industries with antennas serving internal company uses only.
(5) NON-STEALTH FACILITY. Means any telecommunication facility not camouflaged in a readily apparent manner to blend with surrounding land uses and features. The design does not conceal the intended use of the facility and incorporates no readily apparent elements of stealth technology or design. A standard monopole with equipment cabinets aboveground and unscreened would be considered non-stealth.
(6) PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES (PCS). Digital wireless telephone technology such as portable phones, pagers, faxes, and computers. PCS is also sometimes known as Personal Communication Network (PCN).
(7) SATELLITE DISH. A device (also known as a parabolic antenna) incorporating a reflective surface that is solid, open, or mesh or bar-configured, and is in the shape of a shallow dish, cone, horn cornucopia, or flat plate that is used to receive or transmit radio or electromagnetic waves between terrestrially and/or orbitally based units. This term includes satellite earth stations, satellite receivers, satellite discs, direct broadcast systems, television-reception-only systems, and satellite microwave antennas.
(8) STEALTH FACILITY. Means any telecommunication facility camouflaged or designed to substantially blend into the surrounding environment, land uses, and features by, among other things, architecturally integrating into a structure or otherwise using design elements to conceal antennas, antenna supports, poles, equipment, cabinets, equipment housing and enclosure, and related above-ground accessory or support equipment; minimize aesthetic impact on adjacent uses; and conceal the intended use and appearance of the structures.
(9) SUPPORT EQUIPMENT. The physical, electrical, and/or electronic equipment included within a telecom facility used to house, power, transport, and/or process signals from or to the facility's antenna or antennas.
(10) TELECOMMUNICATION FACILITY. A mobile cell site that consists of a cell antenna tower and electronic radio transceiver equipment on a truck or trailer, designed to be part of a cellular network.
(11) TOWER. Any structure that is designed and constructed primarily for the purpose of supporting one or more antennas.
(12) TOWER, LATTICE. A multiple-sided, open, metal frame support structure that supports antennas and related equipment, typically with three or four support legs.
TENANT. A person renting or leasing a housing unit or non-residential space.
TRAILER. A vehicle with or without motor power, which is designed or used for hauling materials or vehicles, or for human habitation, office, or storage including camper, recreational vehicle, travel trailer, and mobile home, but not including mobile homes on a permanent foundation.

(2) DAMAGE. Any action undertaken which causes injury, death, or disfigurement to a protected tree. This includes, but is not limited to, cutting, poisoning, overwatering, topping, trimming, relocating or transplanting a protected tree.
(3) MULTI-TRUNK. Any tree with multiple trunks attributed to a single tree. For purposes of determining the diameter of a multi-trunk tree, the diameter of each trunk shall be measured at a point four and one-half feet above the root crown, and the sum of the diameters shall be the diameter of the tree.
(4) PRUNING (also known as LACING). The removal of selected branches that are dead, a hazard to public or property, or are otherwise selected for removal while preserving the overall form of the tree. PRUNING can be done to give a tree a more balanced appearance, to reduce the weight on one side of a tree in order to prevent the tree from toppling, or to remove branches that are at risk of breaking and injuring people or damaging property. Utilities may use pruning to selectively remove branches that interfere with overhead lines. PRUNING is distinct from topping or trimming a tree.
(5) REMOVAL. The uprooting, cutting, or severing of the main trunk, of a protected tree.
(6) ROOT CROWN. That portion of a protected tree trunk from which roots extend laterally into the ground.
(7) TOPPING. The removal of the uppermost branches of a tree, or cutting the trunk, in order to reduce its height without regard to the overall form of the tree. Typically results in a horizontal cut across the trunk or a roughly spherical cut centered on the trunk.
(8) TRIMMING. The alteration of the outward shape of a tree without regard to which branches are to be trimmed. Typically results in a geometric rather than natural shape. Hedges are trimmed to preserve a particular, frequently rectangular, shape. Topping a tree would be an extreme example of trimming.
TURF.
(1) ARTIFICIAL TURF. A synthetically derived, natural grass substitute that may be used in lieu of natural turf, and must simulate the appearance of natural live grass, in a single-unit dwelling residential property and in the landscape areas of multi-unit dwelling residential and non-residential properties.
(2) NATURAL TURF. A ground cover surface of mowed grass. Annual bluegrass, Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, red fescue, and tall fescue are cool-season grasses. Bermuda grass, Kikuyu grass, seashore paspalum, St. Augustine grass, zoysiagrass, and Buffalo grass are warm-season grasses.
