(A) Commercial wireless communication towers may be considered either a principal or accessory use, as a special land use only on public property. This includes mounting onto a publicly or privately owned tower or publicly elevated storage tank or tower. All commercial wireless communication towers enacted after this chapter must provide collocation.
(B) Commercial wireless communication towers are only allowed on municipal property and require a municipal franchise agreement. Tower lease areas shall be maintained in a neat and orderly manner and shall be completely fenced. Effective landscaping and screening shall be used around fenced areas. Wireless communication equipment shall be stored inside secured shelters and shall use natural materials and neutral colors for the exterior. Leased areas shall be appropriately lit.
(C) A privately owned, non-commercial tower may be erected as an accessory use in any district, provided such tower does not exceed 60 feet in height, and is owned and operated by a federally-licensed amateur radio station operator or is used exclusively for receive only antennas. These towers shall not have support wires extending out horizontally from the tower more than ten feet in any direction and shall be safely maintained. Support wires and towers may not be erected or placed closer than ten feet to any side or rear lot line. Support wires and towers are prohibited from being located in the front yard. Towers must be erected, mounted and maintained in a safe manner.
