Table 7.3.2-B: Additional Overlay District Use Table below lists the land uses available in the Streamside Overlay (SS-O) and Airport Overlay (AP-O) districts. The uses in Table 7.3.2-B: Additional Overlay District Use Table supplement and supersede, but do not replace, the use indications for each base zone district listed in Table 7.3.2-A: Base and NNA-O District Use Table. In case of a conflict between Tables 7.3.2-A (Base and NNA-O District Use Table) and 7.3.2-B: Additional Overlay District Use Table, the provisions of Table 7.3.2-B shall apply. (In the NNA-O district, permitted uses supersede the permissions in the base zone district and are listed in Table 7.3.2-A.)
A. If a use is permitted by-right in the base zone district, it continues to be permitted by-right in the overlay district. If a use is prohibited in the base zone district, it is prohibited in the overlay district. The Use-Specific Standards cross-referenced in the right-hand column of the same use in Table 7.3.2-A: Base and NNA-O District Use Table continue to apply.
B. A "C" indicates that if permitted by-right (P) or permitted as a conditional use (C) in the base zone district, the use is permitted only after the applicant obtains conditional use approval pursuant to Section 7.5.601 (Conditional Use Permit), subject to the Use-Specific Standards cross-referenced in the right-hand column of the same use in Table 7.3.2-A: Base and NNA-O District Use Table.

e. Site Selection Considerations:
(1) An applicant shall consider the following types of sites as locations for WCFs. This list is not in order of priority:
(a) On existing structures such as buildings, water tanks, existing towers, signs, or similar features;
(b) On City-owned or Colorado Springs Utilities sites that have been identified as appropriate locations for WCFs, provided:
(i) The proposed WCF will not have an adverse impact upon the operational or security requirements for the site; and
(ii) The site can accommodate a WCF in a manner that lessens the visual impact and increases the land-use compatibility over privately held sites within the same vicinity.
(c) In locations where the existing topography, vegetation, buildings, or other structures provide the greatest screening potential.
(2) Applicants are discouraged from locating Small Cell Facilities within a right-of-way that is less than fifty (50) feet wide or that is adjacent to residential structures or vacant land that is zoned or master planned for residential uses.
f. Design Standards:
(1) General: The requirements set forth in this Subsection f shall apply to the location and design of all WCFs governed by this UDC. WCFs shall be designed and located to minimize impacts on surrounding neighborhoods and to maintain the character and appearance of the City, consistent with other provisions of this UDC.
(2) Stealth Design Techniques and Concealment Elements:
(a) All WCFs and any transmission equipment shall, to the extent technically feasible, use Stealth Design Techniques including but not limited to the use of materials, colors, textures, screening, undergrounding, or other design options that will blend the WCF to the surrounding natural setting or built environment. Design, materials, and colors of WCFs shall be compatible with the surrounding environment. Designs shall be compatible with structures and vegetation located in the right-of-way and on adjacent parcels.
(b) Stealth Design Techniques may be of heightened importance where findings of particular sensitivity are made (e.g., proximity to historic or aesthetically significant structures, views, or community features). Should the Manager determine that WCFs are located in areas of high visibility, they shall (where possible) be designed to minimize their profile (e.g., stealth design, camouflages, placed underground, depressed, or located behind earth berms).
(c) Stealth Design Techniques may include the use of Alternative Tower Structures if the Manager determines that such design meets the intent of this UDC and better serves the community.
(d) The visible exterior surfaces of all WCFs shall be constructed out of, or be finished with, non-reflective materials.
(3) Collocation: Except for Small Cell Facilities in the right-of-way, WCFs shall be designed and constructed to permit the facility to accommodate WCFs from at least two (2) wireless service providers on the same WCF, to the extent it is technologically feasible based upon construction, engineering, and design standards, and except where such collocation would materially compromise the design intent of the WCF, including stealth design. Collocation requirements for Small Cell Facilities may be addressed in a master license agreement or in regulations established pursuant to these WCF standards (Subsection 7.3.303H.1 (Wireless Communication Facility)).
(4) Lighting: WCFs shall not be artificially lit, unless required by the FAA or other applicable governmental authority, or if the WCF is mounted on a Support Structure primarily used for lighting purposes. If lighting is required, the Manager may review the available lighting alternatives and approve the design that would cause the least disturbance to the surrounding properties or environs. All lighting shall comply with the requirements of Part 7.4.12 and shall be shielded or directed to the maximum extent possible so as to minimize the amount of glare and light falling onto nearby properties, particularly residences.
(5) Noise: Noise generated on the site shall not exceed the levels permitted in this Code, except that a WCF owner or operator shall be permitted to exceed Code noise standards during repairs for a reasonable period of time not to exceed two (2) hours without prior authorization from the City.
(6) Landscaping and Fencing:
(a) WCFs shall be sited in a manner that does not reduce the landscaped areas for the other principal uses on the property below the requirements of Part 7.4.9 or elsewhere in the UDC.
(b) Excluding Small Cell Facilities deployed in the right-of-way, WCFs shall be landscaped with a buffer of plant materials that effectively screen the view of the WCF from any adjacent residential properties. The standard buffer shall consist of the front, side, and rear landscaped setback on the perimeter of the site. In locations where the visual impact of the WCF would be minimal, the landscaping requirement may be reduced or waived by the Manager. Where the City has requested landscaping, the Manager may require irrigation.
(c) Where fencing or screening is required by the Manager, the fencing or screening material shall meet the standard of the zone district in which the WCF will be located. In no case may fencing material be primarily wire or metal except as allowed by the applicable zone district.
(d) Existing mature tree growth and natural landforms on the site shall be preserved to the maximum extent possible. In some cases, such as WCFs sited on large lots with an abundance of vegetation, including trees, natural growth around the site perimeter may be sufficient to buffer.
(e) No trees larger than four (4) inches in diameter measured at four-and-a-half (4½) feet high from the ground may be removed, unless authorized by the Manager. Authorization shall only be granted if the applicant demonstrates that tree removal is necessary, that the applicant's plan minimizes the number of trees to be removed, and that any trees removed are replaced at a ratio of two (2) to one (1). The City shall designate a tree caliper requirement for all replacement trees. Additional landscaping required by the City will be maintained at the expense of the WCF owner.
(7) Adjacent to Residential Uses: Adjacent to residential uses, WCFs shall be sited in a manner that evaluates the proximity of the facility to residential structures and residential zone district boundaries. When placed adjacent to property in a residential zone district, the WCF shall be placed adjacent to the common side yard property line between adjoining residential properties such that the WCF minimizes visual impacts equitably among adjacent properties. In the case of a corner lot, the WCF may be placed adjacent to the common side yard property line between adjoining residential properties, or on the corner formed by two (2) intersecting streets. All applicable setback requirements shall be met.
