The purpose of this section is to regulate by conditional use permit:
A. 
The siting and construction of any new mobile service support structure and facilities;
B. 
With regard to a Class 1 co-location, the substantial modification of an existing support structure and mobile service facilities by land use permit; and
C. 
With regard to a Class 2 co-location, collocation on an existing support structure which does not require the substantial modification of an existing support structure and mobile service facilities also by land use permit.
The Village's regulatory power extends to three types of projects, all for the installation of types of cell phone transmission facilities.
A. 
Projects requiring construction of a new tower.
B. 
Projects requiring substantial modification of an existing tower and facilities, but not construction of a new tower. Projects of this type are referred to as "Class 1 co-location."
C. 
Projects requiring neither construction of a new tower, nor substantial modification of an existing tower and facilities. Projects of this type are referred to as "Class 2 co-location."
A. 
Conditional use permit required. A conditional use permit is required for the siting and construction of a new mobile service support structure and facility and/or the substantial modification of an existing support structure and mobile service facilities (Class 1 co-location) and is subject only to the conditions set for in this chapter.
