3.8.08: ANTENNAS:
Antennas, where ground mounted, including also satellite dishes, and any antenna regardless of mounting method transmitting at a power of fifty (50) watts or more, require a building permit and must meet all applicable FCC standards. Excepted are small diameter residential satellite antennas, such as provided by Direct TV® and Dish Network®. These types of antennas should be mounted, where possible, directly to a structure so that they are not visible from the street frontage, or at the least, mounted at the rear of the structure. Mounting these antennas to a post in the ground is to be avoided if a structure mounting location is possible. (Ord. 821, 2-23-2006, eff. 3-16-2006)
