<br />159 <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 140 feet in height. Towers with a minimum capacity to support three (3) antennas shall <br />not exceed 160 feet in height. <br /> <br />ii. The setback of the tower from the nearest lot line is at least the height of <br />the antenna. Exceptions to such setback may be granted in such cases when a qualified structural <br />engineer specifies in writing that any failure of the pole will occur within a lesser distance under <br />all foreseeable circumstances. The setback shall not be reduced in cases where the subject site <br />abuts a residential zoning district. The setback requirements shall not be reduced below the <br />minimum accessory building setback requirements of the base zoning district or the failure area <br />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 50 percent shall be provided around the support structure, as <br />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 requirements: <br /> <br />a. Temporary mobile towers are exempt from co-location and permanent tower <br />structure design standards provided for in the following sections: City Code Section 1007.054 <br />(2)(h); Section 1007.054(2)(i); Section 1007.054(4); and Section 1007.054(5). <br /> <br />b. The termination date of the permit shall not exceed 120 days. Temporary <br />mobile towers located on a site longer than 120 days shall require the processing of an interim <br />use permit subject to the standards contained in City Code Section 1007.017. <br /> <br />c. Guyed towers are prohibited.
