Section 5.10.12. - Wireless facility design standards.

In addition to any other applicable requirements provided elsewhere in the Land Development Code, an application for a communication tower shall include the following: A. Fall zone. In the event of a catastrophic failure or collapse, towers shall be designed to collapse within an engineered fall zone lying wholly within the lot lines of the parcel containing the tower. Such fall zone shall be certified by a professional engineer, licensed in the State of Florida. B. Tower design for co-location. A proposed tower shall be designed to allow for future rearrangement of antennas, to provide space for antennas to be mounted at varying elevations, and to accommodate co-location. C. Monopoles or stealth. All towers shall be monopoles or stealth design. D. Illumination. A tower shall not be artificially lighted except as may be required by federal or state regulations. E. Surface or finish color. All towers shall be painted or have a non-contrasting finish that minimizes the visibility of the facility from public view, except where contrasting color is required by federal or state regulation. In addition, the exterior of support facilities shall be designed to be compatible with the architectural design prevailing among the structures in the surrounding developed area. F. Sign. The main access gate in the tower shall have affixed to it a sign not to exceed two feet by three feet in size which displays the owner's or permittee's name and an emergency telephone number. G. Maximum height. The maximum height of towers shall be 100 feet if the tower is designed for one service provider, 120 feet if the tower is designed to accommodate two service providers, or 140 feet if the tower is designed to accommodate three or more service providers. H. Landscape screening. The accessory components to the tower shall be screened from view by shrubs maintained at a height of six feet, immediately adjacent to the fence surrounding the facility and minimum of eight trees planted outside of the shrub buffer
