(a) All proposals to install, build or modify a wireless facility or wireless support structure not listed in Subsection
(A)(5)(c).
(b) The mounting of a
proposed wireless facility on a preexisting wireless support structure
which, as applied to the structure as it was originally constructed:
i. Increases the existing vertical height of the structure
by more than ten percent (10%); or the height of one (1) additional
antenna array with separation from the nearest existing antenna not
to exceed twenty (20) feet, whichever is greater; or
ii. Involves adding an appurtenance to the body of
a wireless support structure that protrudes horizontally from the
edge of the wireless support structure more than twenty (20) feet
or more than the width of the wireless support structure at the level
of the appurtenance, whichever is greater (except where necessary
to shelter the antenna from inclement weather or to connect the antenna
to the wireless support structure via cable);
iii. Involves the installation of more than the standard
number of new outdoor equipment cabinets for the technology involved,
not to exceed four (4) new equipment cabinets; or
iv. Increases the square footage of the existing equipment
compound by more than one thousand two hundred fifty (1,250) square
feet.
(c) In accordance with Section
511.400,
Small Wireless Facility Deployment, of the Municipal Code, small wireless facilities which meet the
following criteria:
i. Small wireless facilities attached to an existing
utility pole or wireless support structure and located on private
property in the RR, R1, R2, R3, or R4 Zoning Districts; or
ii. Small cell wireless facilities attached to a new,
replacement or modified pole and located on private property in the
RR, R1, R2, R3, or R4 Zoning Districts; or
iii. Small cell wireless facilities attached to a new,
replacement or modified pole and located in the right-of-way adjacent
to property in the RR, R1, R2, R3, or R4 Zoning Districts; or

the tallest existing utility pole installed prior to January 1, 2019,
located within five hundred (500) feet of the subject site.
(2) Review Criteria.
(a) Minimal height of the proposed wireless support
structure, consistent with technical requirements of the wireless
communication service.
(b) Maximum distance of the wireless support structure
from residential structures and residential district boundaries.
(c) Utilization of surrounding topography to minimize
visibility of the wireless support structure from existing and future
residential areas and public streets.
(d) Utilization of surrounding tree coverage and foliage
to minimize visibility of the wireless support structure from existing
and future residential areas and public streets.
(e) Design of the wireless support structure, with
particular reference to design characteristics that have the effect
of the camouflaging facilities or otherwise reducing or eliminating
visual obtrusiveness.
(f) Proposed ingress and egress.
(g) Compliance with other provisions of this Subsection.
