§ 69-5. Other preferred location sites.

(a)

Publicly-used structures. Publicly-used structures are preferred locations throughout the city because they appear in virtually all neighborhoods, are dispersed throughout the city and, due to their institutional or infrastructure uses, are generally similar in appearance to or readily adaptable for other smaller telecommunications facilities. Therefore, antennae should be less noticeable when affixed to publicly used structures, such as police or fire stations, libraries, community centers, civic centers, courthouses, utility structures, water towers, elevated roadways, bridges, flag poles and schools, than when placed on commercial or residential structures.

(b)

Industrial and commercial structures. Wholly industrial and commercial structures, located in zoning districts permitting telecommunication facilities, such as warehouse factories, retail outlets, supermarkets, banks, garages or service stations shall be preferred locations particularly where existing visual obstructions or clutter on the roof or along a roof line can and will be removed as part of the installation of the telecommunications facility.

(c)

Alternative structures. Installation on existing alternative structures such as electric transmission towers or billboards, or construction of alternative structures appropriate to the proposed location context such as bell towers, church steeples or flagpoles.
