   D.   CONCEALED FACILITY: A wireless communications services facility where:
      1.   The antennas, mounting apparatus, and any associated equipment are fully recessed/concealed from all sides with a structure that achieves total integration with the existing building or structure; and
      2.   All cable is routed internally or completely screened from view; and
      3.   The associated equipment is completely within the building or structure, placed in an underground vault, or is within another element such as a bench, mail box or kiosk.
   E.   DISTRIBUTED ANTENNA SYSTEM (DAS): Is a network of spatially separated antenna sites connected to a common source that provides wireless service within a discrete geographic area or structure.
   F.   EQUIPMENT: Any equipment, switches, wiring, cabling, power sources, shelters or cabinets associated with an antenna, located at the same fixed location as the antenna, and, when collocated on a structure, is mounted or installed at the same time as such antenna.
   G.   FREESTANDING SMALL CELL POLE: is a freestanding structure which consists of a single vertical pole, fixed into the ground and/or attached to a foundation built for the sole purpose of supporting small wireless antennas and associated equipment.
   H.   GUYED TOWER: Means a monopole or lattice tower that is tied to the ground or other surface by diagonal cables.
   I.   LATTICE TOWER: Is a wireless communication support structure which consists of metal crossed strips or bars to support antennas and related equipment.
   J.   LICENSED CARRIER: Is a company authorized by the Federal Communications Commission to build and operate a commercial mobile radio services system.
   K.   MACRO CELL FACILITY (MACRO FACILITY): A large wireless communications services facility that provides radio frequency coverage served by a high-power cellular system. Generally, macro cell antennas are mounted on ground-based towers, rooftops and other existing structures, at a height that provides a clear view over the surrounding buildings and terrain. Macro cell facilities typically contain antennas that are greater than three (3) cubic feet per antenna and typically cover large geographic areas with relatively high capacity and are capable of hosting multiple wireless service providers.
   L.   MONOPOLE: Means a freestanding structure which consists of a single vertical pole, fixed into the ground and/or attached to a foundation with no guy wires built for the sole or primary purpose of supporting macro antennas and their associated equipment.
   M.   POLES: Utility poles, light poles or other types of poles, used primarily to support electrical wires, telephone wires, television cable, lighting, or guide posts; or are constructed for the sole purpose of supporting wireless communications services facilities.
   N.   SATELLITE EARTH STATION ANTENNA: Includes any antenna in any zoning district that:
      1.   Is designed to receive direct broadcast satellite service, including direct-to-home satellite services, and that is one meter or less in diameter;
      2.   Is two (2) meters or less in diameter in areas where commercial or industrial uses are generally permitted;
      3.   Is designed to receive programming services by means of multi-point distribution services, instructional television fixed services, and local multi-point distribution services, that is one meter or less in diameter or diagonal measurement; and
      4.   Is designed to receive television broadcast signals.
   O.   SMALL WIRELESS FACILITY (OR SMALL CELL NODE / SMALL CELL FACILITY): A wireless facility that meets each of the following conditions:
      1.   The facilities:
         a.   Are mounted on structures fifty feet (50’) or less in height including their antennas, or
         b.   Are mounted on structures no more than ten percent (10%) taller than other adjacent structures, or
         c.   Do not extend existing structures on which they are located to a height of more than fifty feet (50’) or by more than ten percent (10%), whichever is greater;
      2.   Each antenna associated with the deployment, excluding antenna equipment, is not more than three (3) cubic feet in volume;
      3.   All other wireless equipment associated with the structure, including the wireless equipment associated with the antenna and any pre-existing associated equipment on the structure, is no more than twenty eight (28) cubic feet in volume;
      4.   The facilities do not require antenna structure registration under FCC rule;
      5.   The facilities do not result in human exposure to radiofrequency radiation in excess of the applicable safety standards specified by FCC rule.
   P.   UNLICENSED WIRELESS SERVICES: Means the offering of communications services using duly authorized devices which do not require individual licenses but does not mean the provision of direct- to-home satellite services.
   Q.   WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SERVICES: Means any personal wireless services as defined in the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996, including federally licensed wireless communications services consisting of cellular services, personal communications services (PCS), specialized mobile radio services (SMR), enhanced specialized mobile radio services (ESMR), paging, and similar services that currently exist or that may be developed in the future.
   R.   WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES FACILITIES / WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS FACILITY (WCF): Means an unstaffed facility for the transmission and reception of radio or microwave signals used for commercial communications. A WCF provides services which include cellular phone, personal communication services, other mobile radio services, and any other service provided by wireless common carriers licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). WCFs are composed of two or more of the following components:
      1.   Antenna;
      2.   Mount;
      3.   Equipment enclosure;
      4.   Security barrier.
   S.   WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES FACILITIES / WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS FACILITY (WCF), BUILDING-MOUNTED: Means a wireless communications services facility mounted to the roof, wall or chimney of a building.
   T.   WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES FACILITIES / WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS FACILITY (WCF), CAMOUFLAGED: Means a wireless communications services facility that is disguised, hidden, or integrated with an existing structure that is not a monopole, guyed or lattice tower, or placed within an existing or proposed structure.
   U.   WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES FACILITIES / WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS FACILITY (WCF), EQUIPMENT ENCLOSURE: Means a small structure, shelter, cabinet, or vault used to house and protect the electronic equipment necessary for processing wireless communication signals. Associated equipment may include air conditioning and emergency generators.
