A. Revocation: Grounds for revocation of the special use permit telecommunication towers and associated structures, shall be limited to one of the following findings:
1. The owner of such site, service provider and/or tower owner fails to comply with the requirements of this chapter.
2. The permittee has failed to comply with the conditions of approval of the special use permit.
3. The facility has not been properly maintained.
B. Revocation Process: The following is the procedure for revocation of a special use permit for telecommunication towers and associated structures:
1. The owner of such site, service provider and/or tower owner shall be notified by certified mail of noncompliance by the city's planning and zoning department.
2. The owner shall comply with such notice within thirty (30) days to the satisfaction of the administrator.
3. If compliance is not obtained within thirty (30) days, the administrator shall notify the city attorney of the noncompliance and proceed with the revocation process. (Staff, to adjust for seasonal limitations, may extend this time period.)
C. Abandonment: Any antenna or tower that is not operated for a continuous period of twelve (12) months shall be considered abandoned. Time may be extended upon review and approval of the administrator, if the tower owner demonstrates a good faith effort to secure new tenants. In such circumstances, the following shall apply:
1. The owner of such antenna or tower shall remove said antenna and/or tower including all supporting equipment and building(s) within ninety (90) days of receipt of notice from the planning and zoning department notifying the owner of such abandonment. If removal to the satisfaction of the planning and zoning department does not occur within said ninety (90) days, the city will order removal utilizing the established bond and salvage said antenna or tower and all supporting equipment and building(s). If there are two (2) or more users of a single tower, then this provision shall not become effective until all operations of the tower cease.
2. The recipient of a conditional use permit for a telecommunications facility under this title shall notify the planning and zoning department when the facility is no longer in operation. (Ord. 411, 8-14-2002)
