§ 16.50.480.2. Wireless communication antennae (WCA).

A.

To encourage co-location and to minimize the number of WCSFs within the City, WCAs are considered a permitted accessory use when placed on or attached to any structure which constitutes a principal use, including existing WCSFs, provided that any WCA shall not extend more than 20 feet above the tallest portion of the structure on or to which it is attached.

B.

No personnel shall be allowed on the premises except as necessary for maintenance and repair.

C.

Accessory equipment storage areas shall be no greater than 15 feet in height and shall meet all zoning requirements.

D.

Not more than two WCAs are permitted on any site used as a single-family dwelling unit. These WCAs shall be used solely to provide service to that single-family dwelling unit, shall not be used for any commercial purpose, and shall not exceed 12 feet above the roof line.

E.

All WCAs shall be designed to blend into or shall be shielded by the principal structure, where possible, taking into consideration the location of the WCA and the visibility from the right-of-way and neighboring uses.

F.

Accessory equipment storage areas are prohibited in any government rights-of-way except interstate rights-of-way.

G.

The installation of a WCA in any zoning district shall be reviewed by the POD. The POD shall approve such requests that meet the requirements of these regulations and F.S. § 365.172. Such review by the POD shall be without notice.

H.

A WCA proposed to be located on a historic landmark or in a designated historic district shall be denied if the WCA creates a detrimental impact on the historic character of the historic landmark or district.
