Commercial communication towers exceeding the maximum permitted heights and towers located in C-3 General Commercial, I-1 Light Industrial, T.I.P. (Technical Industrial Park), Special Use Districts, and C-4 District shall require a Use Permit, with the exception of towers located on property owned by the City of Jackson. Sites for towers shall be large enough to contain debris resulting from tower failure and falling ice and a security fence along the perimeter of the site shall be required to prevent vandalism.
