The purpose of this article is to indicate which land uses may locate in each zoning district and under what requirements and which land uses may not locate therein. Certain land uses may locate in a given district as a matter of right upon compliance with special regulations for such a land use. A further distinction is made for land uses which may locate in a given district only upon obtaining a conditional use or temporary use permit.
The allowable land uses for each zoning district are established in Articles III, IV and V of this chapter. Detailed descriptions and regulations for uses are found in §§ 510-37 through 510-48. Even if a land use may be indicated as permitted by right or requiring a conditional use in a particular district, such a land use may not necessarily be permitted or permissible on any or every property in such district. No land use is permitted or permissible on a property unless it can be located on it or implemented in full compliance with all of the applicable standards and regulations of this chapter or unless an appropriate variance has been granted pursuant to § 510-161.
A. 
Principal land uses permitted by right. Principal land uses listed as permitted by right (designated by the letter "P" in the Table of Land Uses; see § 510-38) are permitted per the general land use requirements of this article; per the density, intensity, and bulk regulations of the specific zoning district in which they are located; per any additional requirements imposed by applicable overlay districts; per all other applicable requirements of this chapter; and per any and all other applicable Village, county, state, and federal regulations.
B. 
Principal land uses permitted as conditional uses. Principal land uses allowed only with a conditional use permit (designated by the letter "C" in the Table of Land Uses; see § 510-38) may be permitted subject to all the requirements applicable to uses permitted by right as listed in Subsection A above, plus any additional requirements applicable to that particular land use imposed as part of the conditional use permit process established in § 510-157. Each application for, and instance of, a conditional use shall be considered a unique situation and shall not be construed as precedence for similar requests. Except for uses approved under a general development plan and final development plan in a planned development (see § 510-75 and Article XII), all uses requiring a conditional use permit shall comply with the procedural requirements of Article XVII.
C. 
Accessory land uses. Accessory land uses are allowed subject to all the requirements and exemptions applicable to principal land uses permitted by right as listed in Subsection A above. Accessory land uses allowed only with a conditional use permit are subject to all the requirements and exemptions applicable to principal land uses requiring a conditional use permit as listed in Subsection B above. See § 510-47 for additional regulations applicable to accessory land uses.

[Added 5-15-2017 by Ord. No. 2017-08]
(1) 
Federal requirements. A telecommunication tower shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Federal Communications Commission, the Federal Aviation Administration, and any other federal agency with authority to regulate telecommunication facilities. In the event of a conflict between federal law and this section, federal law shall prevail.
(2) 
Single parcel. The fall zone and all structures related to the telecommunication facility shall be located on a single parcel, including the tower, equipment compound, and anchor points for a guyed tower.
(3) 
Tower height. There is no limitation on the height of a tower, except if the tower is located in the Airport Height Restriction Overlay District (§ 510-69 of this Code).
(4) 
Fall zone and other setbacks. To ensure the fall zone for the tower is located entirely on the subject property, the center of the tower shall not be located closer to a property boundary line than height of the tower. If an applicant submits an engineering certification with the application that shows the fall zone is smaller than this distance, the fall zone shall be the smaller calculated area, unless the Village provides the applicant with substantial evidence that the engineering certification is flawed. The fence around anchor points for a guyed tower shall be located at least 25 feet from a property boundary line.
(5) 
Security fencing. A tower and related equipment compound, consisting of equipment buildings, shelters, and cabinets, shall be enclosed by a security fence (height and material to be established through the site plan review process). If the tower is a guyed tower, each of the anchor points shall be enclosed by a security fence.
(6) 
Lighting. A tower or any attachment shall not be artificially lighted, except when specifically required by a state agency, the Federal Aviation Administration, or another federal authority. Such required lighting shall be the least obtrusive to the surrounding views.

The name of the tower owner;
(b) 
The Federal Communications Commission identification number; and
(c) 
A telephone number to contact in case of an emergency.
(10) 
Accommodation of other users on new towers (co-location). A tower over 150 feet in height, along with the tower site and all support facilities and appurtenances, shall accommodate at least two additional users, unless the Zoning Administrator determines that evidence presented by the tower operator demonstrates it is not technically feasible to do so. Further, the tower operator and its successors in interest shall allow other users to use the tower, the tower site, support facilities, and appurtenances at fair market rates as negotiated by those parties. If the Plan Commission determines the tower operator has made access to the tower and tower site unfeasible, the Zoning Administrator shall notify the tower operator via registered mail of such determination. If the tower operator does not take corrective action within 45 days of such determination, the permit for that tower shall become null and void and the tower shall be removed and the site restored within 90 days of such determination.
(11) 
Requirement for co-location. A new tower shall only be permitted if the applicant demonstrates with a sworn statement that co-location on an existing or planned tower within the applicant's search ring would not result in the same mobile service functionality, coverage, and capacity; is technically infeasible; or is economically burdensome to the mobile service provider. If the applicant does not provide such analysis and sworn statement, the application for a new tower shall be denied.
(12) 
Co-location review. The co-location of an antenna or antenna array on an existing tower is permitted, subject to site plan, building plan, and plan of operation review.
(13) 
Landscaping. Landscaping shall be placed around the equipment enclosure and anchor points for guyed towers consistent with a landscaping plan as approved by the Plan Commission. After reviewing the location of the facility and the visibility of the facility from public rights-of-way and adjoining properties, the Plan Commission may waive this landscape requirement or defer the requirement to a later date.
(14) 
Lease agreement. If the operator of the telecommunication tower does not own the land where the facility is to be located, the property owner and the operator shall execute a lease agreement prior to any land-disturbing activity. Such agreement shall be binding on future property owners and future operators and shall address the rights and responsibilities of each party with respect to the requirements in this Code, including Subsection I(16) and (17) of this section. If the tower is located on Village property, the agreement shall be in the form of a license agreement that is subject to the approval of the Village Attorney.
(15) 
Ongoing maintenance. The subject property shall be maintained and kept in a good condition, so as not to become a nuisance, as determined by the Plan Commission. Proper maintenance includes regular lawn and landscaping care, and painting and regular care of building(s), fences, towers, and other improvements. Additionally, the site shall be kept clear of junk and debris.
(16) 
Termination of approval. If the Zoning Administrator determines that the tower is unsafe or otherwise defective or that the tower has not hosted an operational antenna for a continuous period of 12 months, the Administrator shall initiate the process to terminate the use, which must include a public hearing with written notice given to the property owner, and operator if different. Within 90 days after the date of termination, the property owner shall remove the tower, equipment cabinets, and all related equipment and improvements that are part of its communication facilities and restore the site to the satisfaction of the Zoning Administrator. In the event such work is not done within the specified period, the Village shall have the right to use the financial guarantee as required by this section to pay for such work.
(17) 
Financial guarantee. Prior to issuance of a building permit authorizing construction of a tower, the applicant shall submit a financial guarantee in the amount of $20,000 to the Village. The financial guarantee shall be held until the tower and related improvements are removed and the site restored to the satisfaction of the Zoning Administrator.
(18)
