A wireless telecommunications tower or facility may be considered in the following areas as a conditional use when a technically feasible location is not available in a permitted location defined in Section 1271.03 and when such non-availability has been documented as required in Section 1271.06(a) and (b). The following conditional locations are listed in the order of the City’s preferences:
(a) In a C-1, C-2, C-3, P-1, P-2, I-1, or I-2, zoning district, when it is located at a distance that is less than that required in 1271.03(c)-namely, two times the height of the tower– from any existing residence, residential district, or historic district.
(b) In a D-1, D-2, D-3, D-4, or D-5, or MUPD zoning district, when it is at least 200 feet from an existing residential dwelling and is located within 100 feet of the Ohio Turnpike or an overhead high tension power line.
(c) On publicly owned land.
When considering a conditional use application, the Planning Commission must determine that the applicant demonstrates compliance with the general compliance criteria for conditional uses (Section 1264.02) and the special standards for conditional use of wireless telecommunication towers (Section 1271.06) as well as the standards applicable to all wireless communication facilities (Section 1271.07).
