7-7-405. PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ROOF MOUNTED ANTENNAS.
(1) Roof Mounted Antennas shall be allowed on top of existing penthouses or mechanical equipment rooms, provided the antennas and antenna support Structures are enclosed by a Structure that creates a visual screen. The screening Structure, antennas, and antenna mounting Structures shall not extend more than eight (8) feet above the existing roofline of the penthouse or mechanical equipment room.
(2) The mounting of antennas shall be in accordance with the following requirements:
a. Antennas not mounted on a penthouse or mechanical equipment room shall be mounted at least five (5) feet from the exterior wall of a Building. All Roof Mounted Antennas and associated equipment shall be screened or enclosed so as to appear to be part of, and compatible with, the Structure on which they are mounted. This screening requirement may be waived by the Planning Commission if the screening would be more visually intrusive than the antennas and support Structure without the screening.
b. For antennas mounted between five (5) and ten (10) feet from the exterior wall, the maximum height of a Roof Mounted Antenna is equal to the distance the antenna is set back from the exterior wall up to a maximum height of ten (10) feet above the roofline of the Building to which the antenna is Attached.
c. Antennas shall be mounted at least five (5) feet behind any Parapet wall. For antennas mounted between (5) five and ten (10) feet behind a Parapet wall, the maximum height of the antenna is equal to the distance the antenna is set back from the wall up to a maximum of ten (10) feet as measured from the top of the Parapet wall.
d. Roof Mounted Antennas installed more than ten (10) feet from an exterior or Parapet wall shall not extend more than fifteen (15) feet above the roofline of the Building itself unless approved as a Conditional Use.
(3) Roof Mounted Antennas are permitted only on a flat roof and shall be screened, constructed, and/or colored to match the Structure to which they are Attached.
(4) Roof Mounted Antennas shall not be located on a Building that exceeds the maximum height limit of the Zoning district. However, Roof Mounted Antennas may be located even if the height of the antenna extends beyond the maximum height limit of the Zoning district. The installation of antennas shall not cause a Building to exceed a maximum height limit.
(5) The total area for Roof Mounted Antennas and support Structures combined shall not exceed two hundred (200) square feet. The total area shall be the sum of the areas of all antennas and support Structures located on the roof. The antenna area shall be determined as the area of each individual antenna face and the visible portion of the supporting Structure as viewed looking directly at the antenna at its widest point.
