The Town of Apple Valley hereby establishes "Preferred Locations" for the placement of telecommunications facilities. These locations are shown upon Figure 9.77.180 "Preferred Locations" below. Additional preferred locations may be established by the Commission from time to time as needed by the community at the time of submittal of a Conditional Use Permit request for properties if such property conforms to the following:

•

any public park;

•

any private park, open to the public;

•

any public school;

•

any private school as the sole occupant of a site at least five (5) acres in size;

•

any church as the sole occupant of a site at least one acre in size;

•

any commercially designated property of at least one acre in size with a minimum of 5,000 square feet of developed structures on site;

•

any developed industrially zoned property;

•

any public or private golf courses;

•

any existing public facilities such as a water tank, police or fire stations.

Telecommunications facilities placed upon or within such preferred locations shall be located in a manner so that the main structure on site is located between the facility and the main public right-of-way serving the site.

The development standards and criteria for siting Telecommunications facilities on or within a Preferred Location as defined within this Chapter 9.77 "Wireless Telecommunications Towers and Antennas" for setback and separation distances may be reduced by seventy percent (70%). This reduction may not be combined with the reductions allowed in Section 9.77.190 below for multiple users (co-location) on the same pole or within the same structure.
