7-7-402. DEFINITIONS.
(1) Airport Communication. Communication between aircraft and Airport ground facilities.
(2) Communication Antenna. Any transmitting and receiving device designed to radiate and capture communications signals consisting of electromagnetic or microwave radiation, as authorized by the Federal Communications Commission, to provide low power radio communication service. "Communication Antenna" does not include non-Commercial or Transmission Antennas.
(3) Communications Facility. Any Communication Antenna, Communications Tower, Accessory Building, or any other Structure or equipment installed for the primary purpose of providing low power radio communication service, including but not limited to Commercial and private low power radio communication services, cellular services, Personal communication systems, paging services, and similar services.
(4) Communications Tower. A tower that supports or contains communications antennas (transmitting or receiving) or related communications equipment. "Communications Tower" also includes equipment and facilities permanently associated with the tower, whether or not such equipment or facilities are used directly to provide communication service.
(5) Guyed Tower. A Communications Tower requiring guy wires or other stabilizers for support.
(6) Interference. Disruption of communication by static, jamming, or blocking of frequencies.
(7) Lattice Tower. A self-supporting multiple sided Communications Tower characterized by an open frame.
(8) Monopole Tower. A self-supporting Communications Tower consisting of a single pole without guy wires or other stabilizers.
(9) Non-Commercial Antenna.
a. A transmitting or receiving device designed to radiate or capture communication signals consisting of electromagnetic or microwave radiation, for private, non-Commercial recreational Use. "Non-Commercial Antenna" includes, but is not limited to, radio and television antennas, satellite antennas, amateur radio antennas, and antennas used for individual delivery of low power radio communication service.
b. Antennas associated with Commercial or manufacturing Structures for the purpose of transmitting or receiving signals are Non-Commercial Antennas, if the Use of the antenna is incidental to the Primary Use of the Structure. This includes, but is not limited to, antennas for individual delivery of low power radio communication service incidental to the Primary Use of the Structure.
(10) Stealth. A communications antenna, facility and/or Structure that is completely disguised as another object or otherwise concealed from view thereby concealing the intended Use and appearance of the facility and where the dimensions of the facility reasonably approximate the dimensions of the object they are being disguised as and the location of the Stealth facility is in concert with its surroundings. Examples of Stealth facilities include, but are not limited to, trees, synthetic rocks, flag poles, light pole standards, or architectural elements such as dormers, steeples, and chimneys. Final determination regarding Stealth poles shall be made by the Community and Economic Development Staff based on these standards. All antennas and associated equipment not camouflaged in a manner to be completely disguised as another object or otherwise be concealed from view by concealing the intended Use and appearance of the facility are not Stealth.
(11) Transmission Antenna. A device that primarily transmits signals by electromagnetic or microwave radiation over a large area. A Transmission Antenna may also receive signals as part of its operation, but the Primary Use is for large area transmission. "Transmission Antenna" includes but is not limited to Commercial radio and television broadcast antennas and does not include Communications Facilities.
(12) Roof Mounted Antenna. An antenna or series of individual antennas mounted on a flat roof of a Building.
(13) Wall Mounted Antenna. An antenna or series of individual antennas mounted against a vertical wall of a Building.
(14) Whip Antenna. An antenna that is cylindrical in shape. Whip Antennas may be directional or omni-directional and vary in size depending on the frequency or gain for which they are designed.
