When affixed to the side of a nonconforming structure, an antenna of rod or panel design may exceed the height limit of the zone; provided, that it blends in architecturally with the building. Placement of any such antenna on a nonconforming structure shall not be considered to be an expansion of the nonconforming structure.
D. Monopole I:
1. Monopole I facilities shall require a special (conditional) use permit pursuant to chapter 7 of this title, and such permit shall be available only in the commercial (C) and light industrial (LI) zones. A monopole I facility shall not be allowed in any other zoning classification. Site design, landscaping and/or other screening techniques deemed appropriate shall be duly considered as part of the special (conditional) use permit process.
2. Macrofacilities shall be the largest wireless communication facilities allowed on a monopole I wireless communication support structure.
3. Antennas which extend above the wireless communications support structure shall not be calculated as part of the height of the monopole I wireless communication support structure. For example, a monopole I may be up to sixty feet (60') in height, and a macrofacility affixed thereto may be up to fifteen feet (15') in height, thereby allowing a maximum combined height for the monopole I wireless communication support structure and any affixed macrofacility antennas of seventy five feet (75').
4. Collocation on an existing monopole I support structure shall be permitted without an additional conditional use permit, provided there is no change whatsoever to the monopole I support structure, or to the associated equipment shelter or cabinet, or to the site design, landscaping and/or other screening techniques authorized under the original conditional use permit.
5. The equipment shelter or cabinet used to house radio electronic equipment shall be contained wholly within a building or structure, or located underground. Any building or structure erected aboveground to house such equipment shelter or cabinet shall not exceed an area of two hundred (200) square feet.
6. All monopole I facilities shall be set back from the nearest property lot line a distance equal to a minimum of twenty percent (20%) of the overall height of the wireless communication support structure and the antennas affixed thereto.
E. Monopole II:
1. Monopole II facilities shall require a special (conditional) use permit pursuant to chapter 7 of this title, and such permit shall be available only in the light industrial (LI) zone. A monopole II facility shall not be allowed in any other zoning classification. Site design, landscaping and/or other screening techniques deemed appropriate shall be duly considered as part of the conditional use permit process.
2. Macro facilities shall be the largest wireless communication facilities allowed on a monopole II wireless communication support structure.
3. A monopole II facility shall be designed to accommodate two (2) or more wireless communication antennas on the wireless communication support structure.
4. Collocation on an existing monopole II facility shall be permitted without an additional conditional use permit, provided there is no change whatsoever to the monopole II support structure, or to the associated equipment shelter or cabinet, or to the site design, landscaping and/or other screening techniques authorized under the original conditional use permit.
5. Antennas which extend above the wireless communications support structure shall not be calculated as part of the height of the monopole II wireless communication support structure. For example, a monopole II facility may be up to one hundred fifty feet (150') in height, and a macrofacility affixed thereto may be up to fifteen feet (15') in height, thereby allowing a maximum combined height for the monopole II wireless communication support structure and any affixed macrofacility antennas of one hundred sixty five feet (165').
6. The equipment shelter or cabinet used to house radio electronic equipment shall be contained wholly within a building or structure, or located underground. Any building or structure erected aboveground to house such equipment shelter or cabinet shall not exceed an area of three hundred (300) square feet.

8. Monopole II facilities shall be separated from each other by a distance equal to or greater than one-fourth (1/4) mile (i.e., 1,320 linear feet) in any direction.
F. Lattice Tower:
1. Lattice towers shall require a special (conditional) use permit pursuant to chapter 7 of this title, and such permit shall be available only in the light industrial (LI) zone. A lattice tower facility shall not be allowed in any other zoning classification. Site design, landscaping and/or other screening techniques deemed appropriate shall be duly considered as part of the conditional use permit process.
2. Macro facilities shall be the largest wireless communication facilities allowed on a lattice tower wireless communication support structure.
3. A lattice tower facility shall be designed to accommodate two (2) or more wireless communication antennas on the wireless communication support structure.
4. Collocation on an existing lattice tower facility shall be permitted without an additional conditional use permit, provided there is no change whatsoever to the lattice tower support structure, or to the associated equipment shelter or cabinet, or to the site design, landscaping and/or other screening techniques authorized under the original conditional use permit.
5. Antennas which extend above the wireless communications support structure shall not be calculated as part of the height of the lattice tower wireless communication support structure. For example, a lattice tower may be up to one hundred fifty feet (150') in height, and a macrofacility affixed thereto may be up to fifteen feet (15') in height, thereby allowing a maximum combined height for the lattice tower wireless communication support structure and any affixed macrofacility antennas of one hundred sixty five feet (165').
6. The equipment shelter or cabinet used to house radio electronic equipment shall be contained wholly within a building or structure, or located underground. Any building or structure erected aboveground to house such equipment shelter or cabinet shall not exceed an area of three hundred (300) square feet.
7. All lattice tower facilities shall be set back from the nearest property lot line a distance equal to a minimum of twenty percent (20%) of the overall height of the wireless communication support structure and the antennas affixed thereto.
8. Lattice tower facilities shall be separated from each other by a distance equal to or greater than one-fourth (1/4) mile (i.e., 1,320 linear feet) in any direction. (Ord. 263, 7-12-2005)
