RR -1B Zoning Ordinance <br />Sec. 78-418. - Conditional uses. <br />Council Exhibit H <br />Verizon <br />(3) Personal wireless service antennas. Personal wireless service antennas erected on a <br />municipal structure other than a water tower may be allowed as a conditional use if they meet <br />the following criteria: <br />a. Such antennas must be in compliance with the city policy regarding the use of city -owned <br />property for wireless telecommunication antennas; <br />b. Such antennas must meet the conditions listed for personal wireless service antennas as a <br />permitted use in the LR -1C zoning district. <br />c. Such antennas may be located in the following locations: <br />Co -located on an existing city emergency warning siren tower. <br />Co -located on a replacement city emergency warning siren tower, with a height not to <br />exceed 75 feet. <br />Co -located on a new city emergency warning siren tower, at a location that meets the <br />city's emergency warning needs, with a height not to exceed 75 feet. <br />d. Such antennas shall meet the following performance standards: <br />The antennas must be located on the existing emergency warning sirens poles, <br />unless the height of the existing pole, or the capacity of the existing pole to support <br />both the siren and the antenna(s) is inadequate to minimally meet the needs of the <br />carrier. In this case, the carrier may be allowed to install a replacement tower that will <br />accommodate both the emergency warning siren and the telecommunications <br />antenna(s). The existing emergency siren towers can be replaced with towers with a <br />maximum height of 75 feet, with the condition that the tower accommodates both the <br />emergency warning siren and the telecommunications antenna(s). The city may also <br />require the tower to have the capability of accommodating one additional carrier's <br />antenna(s). <br />2. A new emergency warning siren tower location, selected by the city to meet its <br />emergency warning needs, could also be used as a telecommunications antenna site <br />through co -location of the warning siren and antenna. The standards set out in 1. <br />above also apply to a siren tower in a new location. <br />3. The height of a tower can be no higher than the minimum height required to address a <br />gap in coverage. <br />4. The setback of a tower from a property line must, at minimum, be equal to the height <br />of the tower, except where an existing emergency warning siren is located on a site <br />that does not enable this setback to be provided. <br />5. A carrier must demonstrate through an engineering analysis that there is a gap in <br />coverage. <br />6. At the city's discretion, a tower must be designed to structurally enable co -location by <br />another carrier, and the carrier must agree to allow co -location. <br />7. The carrier must provide computer-generated photos showing the views (as selected <br />by the city) with and without the tower. <br />8. All consultant analysis and legal analysis related to the towers and the lease of the <br />towers shall be paid by the carrier. <br />9. The carrier is required to provide coverage maps to demonstrate the specific gap in <br />coverage and need for an additional tower and antenna(s), and to demonstrate there <br />
