Sec. 656.1521. - Applicability; use of existing structures.
(a) No new broadcast tower shall be constructed on land within Duval County other than within the Broadcast Tower Overlay. No new television broadcast towers may be constructed within the Western Broadcast Tower Overlay. Any existing broadcast tower located anywhere in the County other than the Broadcast Tower Overlay shall be deemed a legal nonconforming use after the date of this Broadcast Tower Overlay is enacted. Notwithstanding their status as legal nonconforming uses, all existing broadcast towers shall comply with the permitting and inspection requirements set forth in this Subpart. (b) Broadcast towers shall be considered a principal use in the Broadcast Tower Overlay. A different existing use or an existing structure on the same lot shall not preclude the installation of a broadcast tower on such lot. For purposes of determining whether the installation of a broadcast tower complies with the Broadcast Tower Regulations, including but not limited to set-back requirements, lot-coverage requirements and other such requirements, the dimensions of the entire lot shall control, even though the broadcast towers may be located on leased parcels within such lots.
