The attached ordinance <br />amendment would allow such antennas on existing or future City emergency warning siren towers <br />as a conditional use within the LR-IC, RR-IA and RR-IB zoning districts (these arc the three <br />districts in which the current 4 existing siren towers are located; a potential future siren tower at the <br />Orono golf course would also be in the RR-IB district). <br />The ordinance amendment as drafted does the following: <br />Section 1 revises existing LR-IC language to allow personal wireless service an tennas only upon <br />the municipal water tower and not upon other municipal structures. <br />Section 2 adds ’Personal Wireless Service Antennas ’ to the list of conditional uses in the LR-IC <br />district, and establishes conditions and performance standards under which such a CUP would be <br />granted. [Note that the LR-lC-1 District also would be allowed such use by reference to the LR-IC <br />conditional use standards. There are no existing siren towers in the LR-lC-1 District.] <br />Section 3 revises existing RR-IB language to allow personal wireless service anteiuias only upon <br />the municipal water tower and not upon other municipal structures. <br />Section 4 adds ‘Personal Wireless Service Antennas ’ to the list of conditional uses in the RR-IB <br />district, and establishes conditions and performance standards under which such a CUP would be <br />granted. (Note that the RR-lB-1 District (which no property is currently zoned) also would be <br />allowed such use by reference to the RR-IB conditional use standards.] <br />Section 5 adds ‘Personal Wireless Service Antennas ’ to the list of conditional uses in the RR-IA <br />district, and establishes conditions and performance standards under which such a CUP would be <br />granted.
