§ 69-12. Antenna on an existing structure.

A CUP may be issued to erect, repair, construct, relocate or maintain an antenna on an existing building, structure, tower or monopole within the city provided:

(1)

The existing building, structure, tower or monopole is 50 feet in height or greater;

(2)

If an antenna is installed on an existing building or structure other than a tower, such antenna adds no more than 20 feet to the height of the existing building or structure;

(3)

No advertising is permitted on the antenna or telecommunication facility;

(4)

If an antenna is installed on a structure or building other than a tower, the antenna and supporting electrical and mechanical equipment must be of a neutral color that is identical to, or closely compatible with, the color of the supporting structure or building so as to make the antenna and related equipment as visually unobtrusive as possible;

(5)

If an antenna is installed on an existing tower of any height, such antenna adds no more than 20 feet to the height of said existing tower;

(6)

The antenna is not artificially lighted unless required by the FAA, FCC or other state or federal agency of competent jurisdiction for safety purposes;

(7)

Where required, the community development director, or his designee, shall review available lighting alternatives and approve the design which would cause the least disturbance to the surrounding views;

(8)

The antenna meets or exceeds current standards and regulations of the FAA, the FCC or such governing agency with the authority to regulate telecommunication towers and antennas. If such standards and regulations are changed, the owner of the antenna shall bring such antenna into compliance with any revised standards and regulations within six months of the effective date of such standards and regulations, unless a more stringent compliance schedule is mandated by the controlling agency. Failure to comply with this provision shall be grounds for the city to require removal or re-permitting of the antenna at the owner's expense;

(9)

The antenna complies with all current safety, design, structural and wind loading standards of applicable building and technical codes adopted by the city, so as not to endanger the health and safety of residents;

(10)

The antenna is equipped with an anti-climbing device to prevent unauthorized access;

(11)

The antenna is set back from any adjoining residentially zoned property a distance of 200 feet, as measured from the side of the existing building or structure which is closest to or facing the adjacent residential property to the boundary of a residentially zoned lot; and

(12)

The antenna is set back from all property lines a distance of 50 feet.
