Personal wireless service antennas erected on a municipal <br />structure other than a water tower may be allowed as a conditional use if they meet the following <br />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 />1. Co-located on an existing city emergency warning siren tower. <br />2. Co-located on a replacement city emergency warning siren tower, with a height not to <br />exceed 75 feet. <br />3. Co-located on a new city emergency warning siren tower, at a location that meets the city's <br />emergency warning needs, with a height not to exceed 75 feet. <br />d. Such antennas shall meet the following performance standards: <br />1. The antennas must be located on the existing emergency warning sirens poles, unless the <br />height of the existing pole, or the capacity of the existing pole to support both the siren <br />and the antenna(s) is inadequate to minimally meet the needs of the carrier. In this case, <br />the carrier may be allowed to install a replacement tower that will accommodate both the <br />emergency warning siren and the telecommunications antenna(s). The existing emergency <br />siren towers can be replaced with towers with a maximum height of 75 feet, with the <br />condition that the tower accommodates both the emergency warning siren and the <br />telecommunications antenna(s). The city may also require the tower to have the capability <br />of accommodating one additional carrier's antenna(s). <br />2. A new emergency warning siren tower location, selected by the city to meet its emergency <br />warning needs, could also be used as a telecommunications antenna site through co- <br />location of the warning siren and antenna. The standards set out in [subsection] 1. above <br />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 gap <br />in coverage. <br />4. The setback of a tower from a property line must, at minimum, be equal to the height of <br />the tower, except where an existing emergency warning siren is located on a site that does <br />not enable this setback to be provided. <br />5. A carrier must demonstrate through an engineering analysis that there is a gap in 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 by <br />the city) with and without the tower. <br />8. All consultant analysis and legal analysis related to the towers and the lease of the towers <br />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 are <br />no existing tower options within a radius of two miles that could accommodate the <br />carrier's antenna needs. <br />47
