The following definitions are specific to this chapter.

“Antenna” means a transmitting or receiving device used in telecommunications that radiates or captures radio frequency radiation or signals.

“Lattice tower” means a self-supporting trellis structure.

“Lattice tower with antennas or antenna support structures” means a self-supporting trellis structure on which antenna or antennas are attached. Regulations for antenna height and width of antenna support structures is the same as that for monopoles.

“Low power radio services facility” means an unmanned structure that consists of equipment used primarily for the transmission, reception or transfer of voice or data through radio wave or wireless transmissions. Such structures typically require the construction of transmission support structure to which antenna equipment is attached.

“Monopole” means a single self-supporting cylindrical metal or wooden pole type structure.

“Monopole with antennas and antenna support structure greater than two feet in width” means a self-supporting, single pole tower on which antennas or antenna support structures exceeding four feet in width are placed. The antennas and antenna support structures may not exceed fifteen feet in width or eight feet in height. Antennas of greater height may be approved by the City Council to facilitate co-location.

“Monopole with antennas and antenna support structure less than two feet in width” means a self-supporting monopole tower to which antennae or antenna support structures not exceeding four feet in width are placed. Antennas and antenna support structures may not exceed fifteen feet in height. Antennas of greater height may be approved by the City Council to facilitate co-location.

“Roof mounted antenna” means an antenna or antennas mounted on a roof, mechanical room or penthouse of a building.

“Wall mounted antenna” means an antenna or antennas mounted against the vertical wall of a building.

“Whip antenna” means an antenna that is cylindrical in shape. Whip antennas can be directional or omni-directional and vary in size depending upon the frequency for which they are designed.

“Guyed tower” means a structure using cables or wire as an integral or essential part of the tower support design. (Ord. 01-04 (part), 2001)
