A. Agricultural/Rural Or Residential District Standards:
1. Antennas Located Upon A Public Or Quasi-Public Structure Or Existing Tower: Personal wireless service antennas located upon public structures or existing towers shall require the processing of an administrative permit and shall comply with the following standards:
a. The applicant shall demonstrate by providing a coverage/interference analysis and capacity analysis prepared by a qualified engineer that location of the antennas as proposed is necessary to meet the frequency reuse and spacing needs of the personal wireless service system and to provide adequate wireless coverage and capacity to areas which cannot be adequately served by locating the antennas in a less restrictive district.
b. Transmitting, receiving and switching equipment shall be housed within an existing structure whenever possible. If a new equipment building is necessary for transmitting, receiving and switching equipment, it shall be situated in the rear yard of the principal use and shall be screened from view by landscaping where appropriate.
c. An administrative permit is issued in compliance with the provisions of chapter 8 of this title and the following standards:
(1) Antennas mounted on public structures shall not extend more than fifteen feet (15') above the structural height of the structure to which they are attached.
(2) Roof mounted antennas shall not extend more than ten feet (10') above the roof, and shall be set back at least the height of the antenna structure from the roof edge.
(3) Wall or facade mounted antennas may not exceed more than five feet (5') above the cornice line and must be constructed of a material or color which matches the exterior of the building.
(4) Antennas may be mounted to quasi-public structures that are allowed to exceed the maximum height requirements of the base district pursuant to subsection 11-17-7D of this title. The location of antennas on such structures may not exceed the height of the structure and must be architecturally compatible in form and color.
2. Antennas Not Located Upon A Public Structure Or Existing Tower: Personal wireless service antenna not located upon a public or quasi-public structure or existing tower shall require the processing of a conditional use permit and shall comply with the following standards:
a. The applicant shall demonstrate by providing a coverage/interference analysis and capacity analysis prepared by a qualified engineer that location of the antennas as proposed is necessary to meet the frequency reuse and spacing needs of the wireless system and to provide adequate portable coverage and capacity to areas which cannot be adequately served by locating the antennas in a less restrictive district.
b. If no existing structure which meets the height requirements for the antennas is available for mounting purposes, the antennas may be mounted on a single ground mounted pole provided that:
(1) The pole does not exceed seventy five feet (75') in height, except as may be allowed by approval of an interim use permit.
(2) The setback of the pole from the nearest residential property line is not less than the height of the antenna. Exceptions to such setback may be granted if a qualified engineer specifies in writing that any collapse of the pole will occur within a lesser distance under all foreseeable circumstances.
c. Transmitting, receiving and switching equipment shall be housed within an existing structure whenever possible. If a new equipment building is necessary for transmitting, receiving and switching equipment, it shall be situated in the rear yard of the principal use and shall be screened from view by landscaping where appropriate.
d. At the discretion of the city, a security fence not greater than eight feet (8') in height with a maximum opacity of fifty percent (50%) shall be provided around the support structure.
e. The interim use permit provisions of chapter 5 of this title are considered and determined to be satisfied. (Ord. 674, sec. 1, 7-17-2000)
B. Commercial And Public District Standards:
1. Antennas Located Upon An Existing Structure Or Tower: Personal wireless service antennas located upon an existing structure or collocated on an existing structure shall require the processing of an administrative permit.
a. Transmitting, receiving and switching equipment shall be housed within an existing structure whenever possible. If a new equipment building is necessary for transmitting, receiving and switching equipment, it shall be situated in the rear yard of the principal use and shall be screened from view by landscaping where appropriate.
b. An administrative permit is issued in compliance with the provisions of chapter 8 of this title and the following standards:
(1) Antennas mounted on public structures shall not extend more than fifteen feet (15') above the structural height of the structure to which they are attached.
(2) Roof mounted antennas shall not extend more than ten feet (10') above the roof, and shall be set back at least the height of the antenna structure from the roof edge.
(3) Wall or facade mounted antennas may not exceed more than five feet (5') above the cornice line and must be constructed of a material or color which matches the exterior of the building.
(4) Antennas may be mounted to quasi-public structures that are allowed to exceed the maximum height requirements of the base district pursuant to subsection 11-17-7D of this title. The location of antennas on such structures may not exceed the height of the structure and must be architecturally compatible in form and color.
2. Antennas Not Located Upon An Existing Structure Or Existing Tower: Personal wireless antennas not located upon an existing structure shall require the processing of a conditional use permit and shall comply with the following standards:
a. The applicant shall demonstrate by providing a coverage/interference analysis and capacity analysis prepared by a qualified engineer that location of the antennas as proposed is necessary to meet the frequency reuse and spacing needs of the cellular system and to provide adequate portable cellular telephone coverage and capacity to areas which cannot be adequately served by locating the antennas in a less restrictive district.
b. If no existing structure which meets the height requirements for the antennas is available for mounting purposes, the antennas may be mounted on a monopole tower provided that:
(1) The pole does not exceed seventy five feet (75') in height, except as may be allowed by approval of an interim use permit.
(2) The setback of the pole from the nearest residential property line is not less than the height of the antenna. Exceptions to such setback may be granted if a qualified engineer specifies in writing that any collapse of the pole will occur within a lesser distance under all foreseeable circumstances.
c. Transmitting, receiving and switching equipment shall be housed within an existing structure whenever possible. If a new equipment building is necessary for transmitting, receiving and switching equipment, it shall be situated in the rear yard of the principal use and shall be screened from view by landscaping where appropriate.
d. At the discretion of the zoning administrator, a security fence not greater than eight feet (8') in height with a maximum opacity of fifty percent (50%) shall be provided around the support structure.
e. The conditional use permit provisions of chapter 4 of this title are considered and determined to be satisfied. (Ord. 812, sec. 5, 10-16-2006)
C. Industrial District Standards:
1. Antennas Located Upon An Existing Structure Or Existing Tower: Personal wireless service antennas located upon an existing structure or collocated on an existing tower shall require the processing of an administrative permit and shall comply with the following standards:
