A.
It is
the intent of this section to provide for the orderly conduct of a
limited commercial activity on property otherwise zoned for residential
purposes.
B.
A business
is considered a home-based business if it operates, in whole or in
part, from a residential property. All home-based businesses located
on property zoned for residential purposes must, and at all times
operate subject to, the following criteria:
(1)
The
employees of the business who work at the residential dwelling must
also reside in the residential dwelling, except that up to a total
of two employees or independent contractors who do not reside at the
residential dwelling may work at the business. The business may have
additional remote employees that do not work at the residential dwelling.
(2)
Parking
related to the business activities of the home-based business complies
with City zoning requirements, and the need for parking generated
by the business may not be greater in volume than would normally be
expected at a similar residence where no business is conducted. The
City may regulate the use of vehicles or trailers operated or parked
at the business or on a street right-of-way, provided that such regulations
are not more stringent than those for a residence where no business
is conducted.
(3)
Vehicles
and trailers used in connection with the business must be parked in
legal parking spaces that are not located within the right-of-way,
on or over a sidewalk, or on any unimproved surfaces at the residence.
The City may regulate the parking or storage of heavy equipment at
the business which is visible from the street or neighboring property.
For purposes of this subsection, the term "heavy equipment" means
commercial, industrial, or agricultural vehicles, equipment, or machinery.
(4)
As
viewed from the street, the use of the residential property is consistent
with the uses of the residential areas that surround the property.
External modifications made to a residential dwelling to accommodate
a home-based business must conform to the residential character and
architectural aesthetics of the neighborhood. The home-based business
may not conduct retail transactions at a structure other than the
residential dwelling; however, incidental business uses and activities
may be conducted at the residential property.
(5)
The
activities of the home-based business are secondary to the property's
use a residential dwelling.
(6)
The
business activities comply with any relevant City, Pinellas County,
or State of Florida regulations with respect to signage and equipment
or processes that create noise, vibration, heat, smoke, dust, glare,
fumes, or noxious odors.
(7)
All
business activities comply with any relevant City, Pinellas County,
State of Florida, and federal regulations with respect to the use,
storage, or disposal of any corrosive, combustible, or other hazardous
or flammable materials or liquids.
C.
D.
Violations/Enforcement.
Any one or entity operating a home-based business in violation with
this section, the City may enforce these provisions by any legal means
available or as otherwise directed by Florida law, including, but
not limited to, code enforcement proceedings or an action to enjoin
any violations of this section.
E.
Taxes.
Nothing in this section shall be deemed to excuse or exempt the owner
or operator of a home-based business from paying taxes, including
business tax receipts, that may be due and owing in connection with
the operation or establishment of any such business or complying with
any federal or state occupational or licensure requirements.
F.
Appeal.
Any adversely affected current or prospective home-based business
owner may challenge any City action in violation of this section and
§ 559.955, Florida Statutes. The prevailing party in a challenge
may recover reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred in challenging
or defending the action, including reasonable appellate fees and costs.

the definitions indicated:
Any exterior apparatus designed for telephonic, radio or
television communications through the sending or receiving of electromagnetic
waves.
The Federal Aviation Administration.
The Federal Communications Commission.
The distance measured from ground level to the highest point
on the tower or other structure, even if the highest point on the
tower or structure is an antenna.
A device used to receive satellite broadcast signals, usually
parabolic, dish-shaped antenna, four feet or less in diameter.
Any structure that is designed and constructed primarily
for the purpose of supporting one or more antennas, including self-supporting
lattice towers, guy towers or monopole towers. The term includes radio
and television transmission towers, microwave towers, common carrier
towers, cellular telephone towers, alternative tower structures and
the like.
Any independent entity which is marketing a service to retail
customers in South Pasadena. No two users shall have any common ownership
ties.
B.
Purpose. The purpose of this section is to establish general guidelines
for the siting of towers and antennas. The goals of this section are
to encourage the location of towers in nonresidential areas; to minimize
the total number of towers in the City; to encourage the use of existing
structures as an alternative to new tower construction; to encourage
the joint use of new towers; to encourage the design and construction
of towers and antennas which minimize the adverse visual impacts;
and to enhance the ability of providers of telecommunications services
to provide such services within our City quickly, effectively and
efficiently.
C.
Applicability. Towers and antennas installed and maintained in accordance with this section are exempt from the height limitations for buildings and structures set forth elsewhere in the City Code. The requirements set forth in this section shall govern the height of towers and antennas. The installation of an antenna on a building which is nonconforming in terms of current height limitations shall not be deemed to constitute the expansion of a nonconforming use. Amateur radio antennas operated by a federally licensed amateur radio station operator are exempt from the provisions of this section. Towers and antennas located on City property are exempt from height limitations set forth elsewhere in this Code and are exempt from the requirements of this section, provided that a lease or franchise agreement authorizing such tower or antenna has been approved by the City, or the tower or antenna is City owned. Home satellite dishes are considered an accessory use, are exempt from the requirements of this section and are governed by § 130-38 of the City Code.
D.
Antennas. Antennas may be installed on existing structures, such
as a building, light pole or other freestanding structure that is
50 feet in height or greater, provided that the antenna adds no more
than 20 feet to the height of said existing structure and the antenna
and supporting electrical and mechanical equipment must be of neutral
color that is identical to or closely compatible with the color of
the supporting structure so as to make the antenna and related equipment
as visually unobtrusive as possible. No lighting shall be permitted
unless required by the FAA. All antennas shall comply with FCC standards
for radiation.
E.
Towers.
(1)
In order to be eligible to obtain a permit to construct a tower,
the proposed location must have a commercial general zoning designation
and be within a commercial general or institutional or institutional-public
land use classification. In addition, the applicant must demonstrate
to the reasonable satisfaction of the Community Improvement Department
that no existing tower or structure can accommodate the applicant's
proposed antenna. Evidence submitted to demonstrate that no existing
structure or tower can accommodate the applicant's proposed antenna
may consist of any of the following:
(a)
No existing tower or structures are located within the geographic
area required to meet the applicant's engineering requirements.
(b)
Existing towers or structures are not of sufficient height to
meet the applicant's engineering requirements.
(c)
Existing towers or structures do not have sufficient structural
strength to support the applicant's proposed antenna and related equipment.
(d)
The applicant's proposed antenna would cause electromagnetic
interference with or would be interfered with by other antennas if
placed on an existing tower or structure.
(e)
The fees, costs or contractual provisions required by the owner
in order to share an existing tower or structure for a period of 25
years exceed the cost of developing a new tower.
(f)
The applicant demonstrates that there are other limiting factors
that render existing towers and structures unsuitable.
(2)
The Department of Community Improvement shall review all evidence
submitted by the applicant to support its contention that service
cannot be provided by locating the proposed antenna(s) on an existing
structure. In the event that the Department of Community Improvement
determines that it is necessary to hire any third-party consultants
and/or engineers to review the applicant's evidence, the applicant
shall be responsible for reimbursing the City for the actual cost
of the review. The City Commission shall establish by resolution a
mandatory review deposit fee which shall be posted at the time of
application submission and against which review charges shall be collected.
The applicant shall be responsible for payment of charges in excess
of the deposit fee, and any deposit fees not utilized shall be returned
to the applicant.
F.
Height restrictions and design criteria for towers. Upon receipt
of a complete application, the Community Improvement Department (CID)
shall have 20 business days in which to review the evidence submitted
and render a written decision regarding need. Once CID has recognized
the need for a tower, the plans for the tower and tower site shall
comply with the following:
(1)
Single user towers shall not exceed 90 feet in height. Towers for
two users shall not exceed 120 feet in height. Towers designed for
three or more users shall not exceed 150 feet in height.
(2)
Towers and supporting structures shall be of neutral, nonglare finish
so as to reduce visual obtrusiveness and shall meet applicable standards
of the FAA.
(3)
Towers shall be set back from existing residential uses a distance
equal to the height of the tower. The distance shall be measured from
the base of the tower to the property line of the residential use.
Towers shall be set back from each other a minimum distance of 100
feet, and the distance shall be measured from the base of each tower.
(4)
Tower guys and accessory facilities must satisfy the minimum setback
requirements as set forth in this Code for the particular district.
(5)
Towers shall be enclosed by security fencing not less than six feet
in height and shall also be equipped with an appropriate anticlimbing
device.
(6)
The perimeter of the tower site shall contain a vegetative buffer
of native plants no less than four feet wide and three feet high.
(7)
No tower shall be used for advertising of any type, and the placement
of signs, other than warning signs, is strictly prohibited.
(8)
All applicants shall provide proof that the proposed tower and associated
antennas do not exceed radiation standards of the FCC.
(9)
All applicants shall include a description of the geographic service
area of each antenna on the tower.
(10)
Monopole construction shall be used, unless the City Building
Official certifies, in writing, that service cannot be provided using
monopole type construction.
G.
Federal requirements and safety standards.
(1)
All towers and antennas must meet or exceed current standards and
regulations of the FAA, the FCC and any other agency of the federal
government with authority to regulate towers and antennas. If such
standards are changed, the owners of the towers and antennas governed
by this section shall bring such towers and antennas into compliance
with the revised standards and regulations within six months of the
effective date of such standards and regulations, unless a more stringent
compliance schedule is mandated by the controlling federal agency.
Failure to bring towers and antennas into compliance with such revised
standards and regulations shall constitute grounds for removal of
the tower or antenna at the owner's expense.
(2)
Towers and antennas must be constructed, installed and maintained in accordance with Chapter 83, Building Construction, of the City Code, and, in addition, must meet the standards set forth by the Electronic Industries Association ANSI/TIA/EIA-222-F-1996. If upon inspection the City Building Official at any time finds that the structural integrity of a tower or antenna constitutes a danger to persons or property, the owner of the tower or antenna shall be given written notice of the condition and shall have 30 days to make the tower or antenna structurally sound in accordance with the standards set forth in the applicable codes.
H.
Removal of abandoned antennas and towers. Any antenna or tower which
is not operated exclusively for telecommunication purposes for a period
of six consecutive months shall be considered abandoned. Upon written
demand by the City, the owner of the real property upon which an abandoned
antenna or tower is located shall remove or have the same removed
within 60 days. Failure to do so shall constitute a violation of the
City Code. Upon notification to remove an antenna or tower, any previously
granted variances shall terminate.
I.
Variance procedure. In the event that an applicant for a tower is required to apply for a variance to the section or another related section of the City Code, in addition to the variance criteria set forth in § 130-47, the following additional criteria shall be used: The variance, if granted, will result in a shared use and thereby ultimately reduce the number of towers necessary to provide telecommunication service within the City.
J.
Appeals. The applicant may appeal a decision by the CID that a tower is not necessary directly to the City Commission. The applicant shall notify the City Clerk, in writing, of the appeal, and a hearing shall be held at the next available regular Commission meeting. The City Commission shall conduct a quasi-judicial de novo hearing and base its decision upon competent substantial evidence. The criteria for the decision shall be the criteria set forth in § 130-36E.
