3. General Provisions_V1 <br /> <br />3-97 <br /> <br />a. The applicant shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the City that location of <br />the antennas as proposed is necessary to provide adequate portable personal wireless service <br />telephone coverage and capacity to areas which cannot be adequately served by locating the <br />antennas on an existing tower or support structure. <br /> <br />b. If no existing structure which meets the height requirements for the antennas <br />is available for mounting purposes, the antennas may be mounted on a monopole tower provided <br />that: <br /> <br />i. Towers with a maximum capacity to support two (2) antennas shall not <br />exceed one hundred forty (140) feet in height. Towers with a minimum capacity to support three <br />(3) antennas shall not exceed one hundred sixty (160) feet in height. <br /> <br />ii. The setback of the tower from the nearest property line is not less than the <br />height of the antenna. Exceptions to such setback may be granted in such cases when a qualified <br />structural engineer specifies in writing that any failure of the pole will occur within a lesser <br />distance under all foreseeable circumstances. The setback shall not be reduced in cases where the <br />subject site abuts a residential zoning district. The setback requirements shall not be reduced below <br />the minimum accessory building setback requirements of the base zoning district or the failure <br />area of the tower, whichever is greater. <br /> <br />c. Transmitting, receiving and switching equipment shall be housed within an <br />existing structure whenever possible. If a new equipment building or cabinet is necessary for <br />transmitting, receiving and switching equipment, it shall be situated in the side or rear yard of the <br />principal use, meet all applicable necessary building setback requirements, and shall be screened <br />from view by landscaping where appropriate. <br /> <br />d. At the discretion of the City, a security fence not greater than eight (8) feet in <br />height with a maximum opacity of fifty (50) percent shall be provided around the support structure, <br />as well as no climb security measures shall be provided on the tower or support structure. <br /> <br />3. Temporary Mobile Towers. Personal wireless service antennas located upon a <br />temporary mobile tower as a permitted secondary use may be used on an interim basis until a <br />permanent site is constructed shall require the approval of an administrative permit and shall <br />comply with the following standards: <br /> <br />a. Temporary mobile towers are exempt from co-location and permanent tower <br />structure design standards provided for in the following sections: §1007.053 (2)(h); §1007.053 <br />(2)(i); §1007.053 (4); and §1007.053 (5). <br /> <br />b. The termination date of the permit shall not exceed one hundred twenty (120) <br />days. Temporary mobile towers located on a site longer than one hundred twenty (120) days shall <br />require the processing of an interim use permit subject to the standards contained in §1007.017 of <br />this Ordinance.
