Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this section, no communication <br />tower or communication antenna shall exceed any other height restriction imposed by federal, <br />state or local laws, rules, regulations or approvals, including those imposed by land use plans <br />or approvals applicable to the area in which the tower or antenna will be located. <br />L. Type of Construction. Communication towers shall be monopole construction; <br />provided, however, that guyed construction may be approved by the planning commission <br />upon consideration of the following factors: <br />1. Compatibility with adjacent properties; <br />2. Architectural consistency with adjacent properties; and <br />3. Visual impact on adjacent properties, including visual access of adjacent <br />properties to sunlight <br />J. Development Criteria. Communication towers and communication antennas <br />shall be constructed on lots that comply with the minimum development criteria of the zoning <br />district in which they are located, including minimum lot size and open space criteria. <br />K. Illumination. Communication towers and communication antennas shall not be <br />artificially lighted except to assure human safety or as required by the Federal Aviation <br />Administration. In cases where there are residential uses within a distance of three hundred <br />feet from the height of the tower, approval for dual lighting shall be requested and received <br />from the Federal Aviation Administration prior to construction. <br />L. Collocation. <br />1.. Communication towers between forty-five feet and sixty-five feet in <br />height shall be engineered and constructed to accommodate a minimum of one additional <br />communication service provider <br />2. Communication towers of forty-five feet or less in height shall be <br />engineered and constructed to accommodate a minimum of two additional communication <br />service providers. <br />3. Proposed communication antennas are encouraged to be collocated <br />onto existing communication towers. <br />4. If it is determined that the proposed communication tower is situated in a <br />location which will benefit the city's telecommunication systems, then the tower shall be <br />engineered and constructed to accommodate the additional telecommunication equipment <br />beneficial to the public system at a cost to the city no greater than the actual additional <br />expense of the provider in so engineering and constructing the tower to meet the city's needs. <br />M. Noninterference. No communication tower or communication antenna shall <br />interfere with public safety communication. Frequency coordination is required to ensure <br />noninterference with public safety systems and/or public safety entities. <br />N. Variances. Any request to deviate from any of the requirements of this section <br />ORANGE\MXM\19901.1 <br />-6- <br />
