C. Use
Conditions
Antennas and their supporting structures
shall meet the following requirements:
Purpose: The
purpose of this section is to establish requirements for the location of
wireless communications towers and antennas. The goals of this ordinance are
to: (1) protect residential areas and land uses from potentially adverse
impacts of towers and antennas; (2) encourage the location of towers in non-residential
areas; (3) minimize the total number of towers throughout the community; (4)
strongly encourage the joint use of new and existing tower sites as a primary
option rather than construction of additional single-use towers; (5) encourage
users of towers and antennas to locate them, to the extent possible, in areas
where the adverse impact on the community is minimal; (6) encourage users of
towers and antennas to configure them in a way that minimizes the adverse
visual impact of the towers and antennas through careful design, siting,
landscape screening, and innovative camouflaging techniques; (7) enhance the
ability of the providers of telecommunications services to provide such
services to the community quickly, effectively, and efficiently; (8) consider
the public health and safety of communication towers; and (9) avoid potential
damage to adjacent properties from tower failure through engineering and
careful siting of tower structures. In furtherance of these goals, City of
Tulsa shall give due consideration to the City of Tulsa痴 master plan, zoning
map, existing land uses, and environmentally sensitive areas in approving sites
for the location of towers and antennas.
1. Exclusions. The
following activities shall be exempt from these regulations:
a. Amateur radio operators;
b. Microwave reflectors and
parabolic antennas;
c. Antennas and equipment
completely located inside of buildings; and
d. Minor modifications of
existing wireless communications facilities and attached wireless communications
facilities, whether emergency or routine, provided there is little or no change
in the visual appearance. Minor modifications are those modifications,
including the addition of antennas, to conforming wireless and attached
wireless communications facilities that meet the performance standards set
forth in this document.
2. Definitions. As used in this ordinance, the following
terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
a. Antenna means
any exterior transmitting or receiving device used in communications to radiate
or capture electromagnetic waves, digital signals, analog signals, radio
frequencies, wireless telecommunications signals or other communication
signals.
b. FAA means
the Federal Aviation Administration.
c. FCC means
the Federal Communications Commission.
d. Height means,
when referring to a tower or other structure, the distance measured from the
finished grade of the parcel to the highest point on the tower or other
structure, including the base pad.
e. Preexisting towers and
preexisting antennas means any tower or antenna which lawfully
existed or before April 18, 1997, including permitted towers or antennas that
have not yet been constructed so long as such approval is current and not
expired.
f. Tower means any structure more than twenty (20)
feet tall that is designed and constructed primarily for the purpose of
supporting one or more antennas for telephone, radio and similar communication
purposes, including self-supporting lattice towers, guyed towers, or monopole
towers. The term includes radio and television transmission towers, microwave
towers, common-carrier towers, cellular telephone towers and the like. The term
includes the structure and any support thereto.
3. General
Requirements for Antennas and Towers
a. Principal or Accessory Use.
Towers may be considered either principal or accessory uses. A different
existing use on the same lot shall not preclude the installation of a tower on
such lot.
b. Towers and antennas shall
meet the following requirements:
(1) Towers
and antennas shall be designed to blend into the surrounding environment
through the use of color, galvanizing, or camouflaging architectural treatment,
except in instances where the color is dictated by federal or state authorities
such as the Federal Aviation Administration.
(2) Other
than in Moderate Industrial or Heavy Industrial zoning districts, communication
towers shall be of a monopole design unless the Board of Adjustment determines by
special exception that an alternative design would adequately blend into the
surrounding environment, or that the required antennas cannot be supported by a
monopole.
(3) If
an antenna is installed on a structure other than a tower, the antenna and supporting
electrical and mechanical equipment must be of a 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.
c. Not Essential Services.
Towers and antennas shall be regulated and permitted pursuant to this ordinance
and shall not be regulated or permitted as essential services, public
utilities, or private utilities.
d. Tower Lighting. Towers shall
not be illuminated by artificial means and shall not display strobe lights
unless such lighting is specifically required by the Federal Aviation
Administration or other federal or state authority for a particular tower. When
incorporated into the approved design of the tower, light fixtures used to
illuminate ball fields, parking lots, or similar areas may be attached to the
tower.
e. Signs and Advertising. The
use of any portion of a tower for signs other than warning or equipment
information signs is prohibited.
f. Accessory Utility Buildings.
All utility buildings and structures accessory to a tower shall meet all the
requirements of the underlying zoning district. Exterior ground mounted
equipment occupying more than 50 square feet, if visible from ground level,
shall be screened from view from property within 300 feet used for residential
purposes.
g. The following setback
requirements shall apply to all towers; provided, however, that the Board of
Adjustment may modify the requirements by special exception;
(1) Towers
must be set back a distance equal to at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of
the height of the tower from any adjoining lot line of a residential, office or
agricultural zoned lot, excluding expressway rights of way zoned residential.
(2) Guys
and accessory buildings must satisfy the minimum zoning district setback
requirements.
h. Security fencing. Towers
shall be enclosed by security fencing not less than six (6) feet in height or
shall be equipped with an appropriate anti-climbing device; provided, however,
that the Board of Adjustment may modify or waive such requirements by special
exception.
4. Antennas
and Towers Permitted by Administrative Approval. Antennas or towers, except those approved or
requiring approval by the Board of Adjustment (Section 1204.C.5.), shall be
permitted by right, provided a permit is obtained from the City prior to
construction and provided that the towers shall comply with the following
standards.
a. When located in C, I, or SR
zoning districts, provided that towers shall be set back from an R District
boundary line one-hundred ten percent (110%) of the height of the tower
measured at grade. The setback may be modified by special exception by the
Board of Adjustment pursuant to Section 1608 of this code; or,
b. When antennas are to be
attached to a roof or wall of buildings in commercial or industrial zones, or
to office or multi-family buildings of two or more stories, or to institutional
buildings such as schools, churches and hospitals with existing architectural
elements more than thirty-five (35) feet tall, provided that:
(1) An
antenna does not extend more than twenty (20) feet above the highest point of
the building, or, if located on an architectural feature such as a steeple or
bell tower, does not protrude above that structure; provided, however, that the
Board of Adjustment may modify such requirements by special exception; and
(2) The
antennas comply with all applicable FCC and FAA regulations; and
(3) The
antennas comply with all applicable building codes.
c. When antennas are to be
attached to an existing tower, and/or city owned buildings or structures;
d. When the tower is to be
modified or reconstructed to accommodate the collocation of antennas; and
(1) The
tower is of the same type as the existing tower or is to be constructed as a
monopole; and
(2) The
modification or reconstruction does not exceed thirty (30) feet over the height
of the existing tower and all requirements of Section 1204.C. are met.
5. Antenna
and Towers Requiring Special Exceptions. If a tower or antenna is not permitted pursuant to Section 1204.C.4. of
this chapter, a special exception shall be required for the construction of a
tower in all zoning districts.
a. Factors to be considered in
granting a special exception. In addition to any other requirement of this
section, the following factors shall be considered in the determination to
grant or deny a special exception for an antenna or tower:
(1) Height
of the proposed tower;
(2) Proximity
of the tower to residential structures, residential district boundaries and
existing towers;
(3) Nature
of uses on adjacent and nearby properties;
(4) Surrounding
topography;
(5) Surrounding
tree coverage and foliage;
(6) Design
of the tower, with particular reference to design characteristics that have the
effect of reducing or eliminating visual obtrusiveness;
(7) The
total number and size of antennas proposed and the ability of the proposed
tower to accommodate collocation;
(8) Architectural
design of utility buildings and accessory structures to blend with the
surrounding environment;
(9) Proposed
ingress and egress;
(10) The
need of the applicant for a communications tower within the immediate
geographic area to provide an acceptable level of communications service to the
area;
(11) The
size of the tract and the most likely future development as indicated by the
Comprehensive Plan, planned infrastructure, topography and other physical
facts.
b. Collocation. Collocation of
facilities should be encouraged wherever practical by allowing reasonable extra
height or tower diameter necessary to support multiple antennas.
c. Landscaping. The following
requirements shall govern the landscaping surrounding towers for which a
special exception is required; provided, however, that the Board of Adjustment
may modify or waive such requirements by special exception.
(1) Tower
facilities shall be landscaped with a continuously maintained buffer of plant
materials that effectively screens the view of the tower compound from property
within 300 feet used for residential purposes. The standard buffer shall
consist of a landscaped strip at least four (4) feet wide outside the perimeter
of the compound.
(2) Existing
mature tree growth and natural land forms on the site shall be preserved to the
maximum extent possible. In some cases, such as towers sited on large, wooded
lots, natural growth around the property perimeter may be sufficient buffer.
d. The findings of the Board of
Adjustment as to each of these factors shall be made on the record and
contained in the written minutes of the meeting.
6. Removal
of Abandoned Antenna and Towers. Any
antenna or tower that is not operated for a continuous period of twelve (12)
months shall be considered abandoned, and the owner of such antenna or tower
shall remove the same within ninety (90) days of receipt of notice from the
City of
7. Existing
Towers and Antennas. Antennas and
towers lawfully existing on or before April 18, 1997, at the time this
provision was adopted, shall be allowed to continue their usage as they
presently exist. Routine maintenance, including antenna replacement, shall be
permitted on such existing towers. New construction other than routine
maintenance shall require compliance with the requirements of this ordinance.
