The structure on which antenna facilities are mounted:
Each antenna associated with the deployment (excluding the associated
equipment) is no more than three cubic feet in volume; and

of one additional antenna array with separation from the nearest existing
antenna not to exceed 20 feet, whichever is greater; for other wireless
support structures, it increases the height of the structure by more
than 10% or more than 10 feet, whichever is greater.

20 feet, or more than the width of the wireless support structure
at the level of the appurtenance, whichever is greater; for other
wireless support structures, it involves adding an appurtenance to
the body of the structure that would protrude from the edge of the
wireless support structure by more than six feet;
For any wireless support structure, it involves installation
of more than the standard number of new equipment cabinets for the
technology involved, but not to exceed four cabinets; or, for wireless
support structures in the public right-of-way (ROW) and base stations,
it involves installation of any new equipment cabinets on the ground

10% larger in height or overall volume than any other ground cabinets
associated with the structure;
It entails any excavation or deployment outside the current
site;
It would defeat the concealment elements of the wireless support
structure; or
It does not comply with conditions associated with the siting
approval of the construction or modification of the wireless support
structure or base station equipment, provided however that this limitation
