Orono while protecting the public against adverse impacts of unnecessar>' proliferation of wireless <br />communication towers and antennas. <br />The key elements of the ordinance are as follows: <br />1. <br />3. <br />4. <br />5. <br />7. <br />8. <br />Added definitions of various types of antennas which enables specific regulations for specific <br />types of antennas. <br />2. Added the term "secondary use" to define the way in which the PCS antennas relate to the <br />city's water towers. <br />Added language to the code section regarding public service structures to indicate that PCS <br />towers and antennas are not to be considered public service structures. This language is <br />needed because public service structures are allowed as conditional uses in the city's <br />residential zones. <br />Added a section on communication reception/transmission devices which provides <br />regulations for residential types of accessory antennas such as satellite dishes. This section <br />also includes regulations specific to amateur short-wave radio antennas and towers. <br />Added a section on personal wireless service antennas and towers indicating personal <br />wireless service antennas may be allowed as a secondary use on a municipal structure (water <br />tower) subject to a set of conditions that are listed in the ordinance. <br />6. Added a section which eliminates antenna structures from the B-1 retail sales district. <br />Added a section which eliminates antenna structures as a conditional use in the industrial <br />district. <br />Deleted all current references to antenna structures in residential zones (to be replaced by the <br />proposed new language in the ordinance amendment.) <br />n <br />i
