Shall mean any tower or antenna for which a building permit or development application approval has been properly issued prior to the effective date of this section including permitted towers or antennas that have not yet been constructed so long as such approval is current and not expired.

Shall mean locations that are listed in subsection 35-26.8b that have been found to be the most desirable for the location of personal wireless service facilities because of the existing development in the area or on the site, the types of buildings already existing at the site, the existence of similar or compatible facilities at the particular site, the commercial or industrial nature of the area, the zoning designation of the area, and/or the technical suitability of the particular location.

It is the burden of the applicant on any application to provide reasons why a certain preferential location is more suitable than a listed preferred location that precedes it.

For the purposes of this section, shall mean the emissions from wireless telecommunications facilities or any electromagnetic energy within the frequency range from 9.003 MHZ to 30,000 MHZ.

The definition of Type 1 facility also includes the associated equipment enclosure.

Shall mean (a) a building-mounted antenna or antenna array that does not meet the conditions of a Type 3 facility or (b) an antenna or antenna array added to an existing monopole where there is no modification required related to the height of the monopole.

The definition of Type 2 facility also includes the associated equipment enclosure.

Shall mean a roof-mounted antenna or antenna array that meets the following conditions:

Shall mean an antenna or antenna array mounted on an existing street or light pole that does not otherwise meet the criteria of a Type 5 facility.

Shall mean a single array and transmitter mounted on a structure such as an existing street or light pole within a developed street, with the associated equipment enclosure mounted on the pole or installed completely below grade and the total power output not to exceed 10W and is less than 16 (14 by 16) inches in length and width and eight inches in depth including all associated equipment, and may have an antenna with a length not to exceed 30 inches.
