(b) The following criteria shall be satisfied prior to administrative approval:
(1) Antenna locating on existing building or other antenna structure. Any antenna intended to be attached to a structure other than a tower may be approved as an accessory use to any commercial, industrial, professional, office, institutional, or similar structure, provided:
A. The antenna is designed to be unobtrusive; and
B. The antenna does not extend more than twenty feet above the highest point of the supporting structure;
(2) Co-located antennas on existing or reconstructed towers. The color and overall design of the antenna shall be consistent with the existing tower and be unobtrusive.
(c) Alternative tower structure.
(1) Private property. The City Manager or the City Manager's designee may approve the location of an alternative tower structure provided the site meets the purpose, objectives and applicable requirements of this chapter.
(2) Public property. Approval of the City Manager is required for structures to be located on public property.
(3) The objective of administrative approvals for alternative structures is to encourage ingenuity and the use of innovative methods to camouflage these facilities. If the application is denied by the City Manager or the City Manager's designee following a finding that the proposed facilities have not been reasonably disguised or camouflaged, the applicant may file an application for review as a conditional use.
