Latest version.
  • (a)

    No towers, supporting equipment and/or facility shall be erected, altered or relocated within the city unless the applicant demonstrates that no technically suitable location is available on any existing tower, structure, or building.

    (b)

    Upon the demonstration of substantial need in order to provide service, towers, supporting equipment and/or facilities will be considered and may only be approved, through a special permit granted by the board of commissioners, as an accessory use within the C-4, marine commercial or the P-SP, public semi-public zoning districts. As a condition of issuing a permit to construct and operate a tower in the city, the applicant is required to allow co-location until such tower has reached full antenna capacity; under no condition until an existing tower has three users will a permit for any other tower be issued; but in no event fewer than two additional antennas for two additional providers. If approved the applicant must obtain a permit from the building official. Applications for such permit shall be submitted on forms provided by the city.
