That radio, television or microwave towers and similar commercial structures shall be conditional uses within areas zoned commercial within the City limits of Foristell.
[Ord. No. 440 §3, 5-21-2001]
A. 
The criteria to grant conditional uses shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
1. 
Towers shall be no more than two hundred fifty (250) feet in height.
2. 
No two (2) towers shall be located within a one (1) square mile radius. The distance shall be calculated from the center of the base of the tower.
3. 
No tower shall be situated within five hundred (500) feet of any residential structure. The minimum standard setback from all adjoining property boundaries shall be equal to one (1) foot of setback for each foot of tower height.
4. 
A determination has been made acceptable to the City that there are no other suitable sites within one (1) mile radius of the proposed tower site.
5. 
If a tower is constructed, it shall be three (3) times the capacity of intended use in order that secondary users could lease the balance of the tower capacity at a reasonable rate.
6. 
The design of the tower compound shall maximize use of building materials, colors, textures, screening and landscaping and effectively blend the tower facilities within the surrounding natural setting and built environment.
[Ord. No. 440 §4, 5-21-2001]
Any tower that is no longer in use for its original communications purposes shall be removed at the owner's expense. The owner shall provide the City with a copy of the notice to the FCC of intent to cease operations and shall be given ninety (90) days from the date of ceasing operations to remove the obsolete tower and accessory structures. In the case of multiple operators sharing use of single tower, this provision shall not become effective until all users cease operations. The equipment on the ground is not to be removed, however, until the tower structure has first been dismantled and removed.
