17.76.070 Facility types.
A. Low power radio services facilities are characterized by the type or location of the antenna structure. There are five general types of such antenna structures: Wall mounted antennas; roof mounted antennas; monopoles with antennas and antenna support structure less than two feet in width; monopoles with antennas and antenna support structures greater than two feet in width; and lattice towers with antennas and antenna support structures. Standards for the installation of each type of antenna are as follows:
1. Wall mounted antenna. The following, provisions apply to wall mounted antennas:
a. Wall mounted antennas shall not extend higher than fifteen feet above the wall line of the building or extend more than four feet horizontally from the face of the building.
b. Antennas, equipment and the supporting structures shall be painted to match the color of the building or structure or the background against which they are most commonly seen. Antennas and the supporting structures on buildings should be architecturally compatible with the building.
c. Antennas mounted directly on existing parapet walls, penthouses, or mechanical equipment rooms and extending no higher than fifteen feet above the roofline of such structures shall be considered a wall mounted antenna.
2. Roof mounted antenna. The following provisions apply to roof mounted antennas:
a. Roof mounted antennas shall be allowed on the roof of existing buildings or mechanical equipment rooms but shall not extend more than fifteen feet above the roofline of the building itself unless approved by the City Council.
b. Roof mounted antennas permitted on a roof shall be camouflaged or colored to match the building or structure to which they are attached.
3. Monopole with antennas and antenna support structures less than two feet in width shall be colored and camouflaged to blend in with the surrounding structures or terrain. Monopoles shall not extend above ridgelines so as to be projected against the sky when such structures are viewed from State Highway 191 or from Spanish Valley Drive, unless conditionally permitted to do so by the City Council.
4. Monopole with antennas and antenna support structure greater than two feet in width shall be colored and camouflaged to blend into the surrounding structures or terrain. Monopoles and antennas shall not extend above ridgelines so as to be projected against the sky when viewed from State Highway 191 or from Spanish Valley Drive, unless conditionally permitted to do so by the City Council.
5. Lattice tower. Lattice towers with antennas and antenna support structures shall be colored and camouflaged to blend into the surrounding structures or terrain. Towers and antennas shall not extend above ridgelines so as to be projected against the sky when viewed from State Highway 191 or, from Spanish Valley Drive, unless conditionally permitted by the City Council.
6. Guyed Towers are not permitted. (Ord. 01-04 (part), 2001)
