10-3-4505: SAFETY RELATED DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS:
   A.   The safety related development standards set forth in this section apply in all land use zones to the siting, construction, and operation of over the air reception devices consisting of the following:
      1.   Satellite earth station antennas that are permitted accessory uses under subsection 10-3-4503A of this part;
      2.   Satellite earth station antennas that are subject to a building permit under section 10-3-4504 of this part; and
      3.   Satellite earth station antennas that, because of their nonconformity with the size limitations specified in sections 10-3-4503 and 10-3-4504 of this part, are subject to both project review and to the issuance of building permits.
   B.   The safety related development standards are specified as follows:
      1.   No satellite earth station antenna may be installed in any land use zone if it will impede normal vehicular or pedestrian circulation, ingress to, or egress from any building, structure, or parking facility.
      2.   Any mast that will be used to elevate a satellite earth station antenna must be constructed of noncombustible and corrosive resistant materials.
      3.   All satellite earth station antennas must be installed with adequate ground wire to protect against a direct strike of lightning. The ground wire must be of a type approved by the electrical code for grounding masts and lightning arrestors.
      4.   All satellite earth station antennas must be separated from adjacent power lines by such vertical and horizontal distance as is required by the electrical code and by other applicable laws and regulations.
      5.   Any mast that will be used to elevate a satellite earth station antenna must be secured by a separate safety wire in a direction away from adjacent power lines or other potential hazards.
      6.   To the extent feasible, all cables, wires, or similar electrical transmission devices that connect with a satellite earth station antenna must be placed underground.
      7.   All connectors on a satellite earth station antenna, and on any mast to be used for elevation, must be capable of sustaining a wind load of the magnitude specified in the building code.
      8.   No satellite earth station antenna, nor any of its component parts or accessory facilities, may encroach into the public rights of way.
      9.   All satellite earth station antennas must be maintained in good repair, in a neat and clean condition, and in compliance with all applicable building, fire, and electrical codes.
   C.   In addition to the safety related development standards set forth in subsection B of this section, the following development standards apply to the siting, construction, and operation of satellite earth station antennas in all land use zones where single-family and multi-family residential uses are authorized:
      1.   The diameter of a satellite earth station antenna that is subject to project review may not exceed ten feet (10').
      2.   A ground mounted satellite earth station antenna that is subject to project review must be located in the rear yard and in compliance with the setback requirements that is applicable to the primary structure.
      3.   A building mounted satellite earth station antenna that is subject to project review must be located on that building so as not to be visible from the street.
      4.   A building permit must be obtained for any satellite earth station antenna, whether ground mounted or building mounted, that is subject to project review.
   D.   In addition to the safety related development standards set forth in subsection B of this section, the following development standards apply to the siting, construction, and operation of satellite earth station antennas in all land use zones where nonresidential uses are authorized:
      1.   A ground mounted satellite earth station antenna that is subject to project review must be located in compliance with any applicable setback requirement.
      2.   No ground mounted satellite earth station antenna that is subject to project review may be located in the area between the front property line and the main building or structure. (Ord. 05-O-2461, eff. 3-18-2005)
