A. Regulations:
1. Colocation, or the attachment of facilities to existing structures, DAS and small cells are allowed in all zones, regardless of the siting preferences listed in section 8-5-3 of this title, provided the applicant complies with all Federal laws (such as the Americans With Disabilities Act) and State laws and requirements.
2. DAS and SWF in all zones are subject to approval via utilities compliance permit, right-of-way encroachment permits, building permits and/or site permits unless their installation requires the construction of a new tower or building.
3. A utilities compliance permit shall not be required for replacement of utility support structures, so long as the height of a replacement structure, including antennas, is no more than the greater of:
a. Fifteen feet (15') taller than the existing utility support structure; or
b. The minimum height necessary to provide the required safety clearances from transmission or distribution lines.
4. A single permit application may be used for multiple distributed antennas that are part of a larger overall DAS network. A single permit application may also be used for multiple SWFs. A single license agreement may be used for multiple node locations in DAS and/or SWF networks. In no case may a single permit or license be used for more than five (5) distributed antennas, SWFs, or node locations. An application is a request for colocation if it does not involve a substantial increase in the size of a tower as defined as above. (Ord. 596, 5-24-2019)
