Commercial Communication Towers Commercial communication towers that do not exceed one hundred fifty (150) feet shall be allowed in any I-2 Heavy Industrial District and towers erected on existing structures shall be allowed in any I-2 Heavy Industrial District provided that the tower does not exceed one-third (1/3) the height of the existing structure and the total height of the structure and tower does not exceed two hundred (200) feet. 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. It is the intent of this Ordinance to encourage co-location of attachments to towers and other structures by all commercial communication operators; thus each applicant for a permit shall submit a statement of any and all efforts of co-location.
