   A.   Purpose And Intent: The unique character, landscapes and scenic vistas of the city are among its most valuable assets. Preserving and promoting those assets are essential to the long range social and economic well being of the city and its inhabitants. Protecting these assets requires sensitive placement and design of wireless communication facilities so that these facilities remain in scale and harmony with the existing character of the community. The purpose and intent of this section is:

      1.   To accommodate new technology and develop regulations on the use and development of city property for new cell tower facilities.

      2.   To regulate personal wireless services antennas, with or without support structures, and related electronic equipment and equipment structures.

      3.   To provide for the orderly establishment of personal wireless services facilities in the city.

      4.   To minimize the number of antenna support structures by encouraging the collocation of multiple antennas on a single new or existing structure.

      5.   To establish siting, appearance, and safety standards that will help mitigate the potential impacts related to the construction, use and maintenance of personal wireless communication facilities.

      6.   To comply with the telecommunication act of 1996 by establishing regulations that: a) do not prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting the provision of personal wireless services, b) do not unreasonably discriminate among providers of functionally equivalent services, and c) are not based on the environmental effects of radio frequency emissions to the extent that such facilities comply with the federal communications commission's regulations concerning such emissions.

   B.   Findings:

      1.   Personal wireless services facilities (PWSF) are an integral part of the rapidly growing and evolving telecommunications industry, and present unique zoning challenges and concerns to the city.

      2.   The city needs to balance the interests and desires of the telecommunications industry and its customers to provide competitive and effective telecommunications systems in the city, against the sometimes differing interests and desires of others concerning health, safety, welfare, and aesthetics, and orderly planning of the community.

      3.   The city has experienced an increased demand for personal wireless services facilities to be located in the city, and expects the increased demand to continue in the future.

      4.   It is in the best interests of the city to have quality personal wireless services available, which necessarily entails the erection of personal wireless services facilities in the city.

      5.   The unnecessary proliferation of personal wireless services facilities throughout the city creates a negative visual impact on the community.

      6.   The visual effects of personal wireless services facilities can be mitigated by fair standards regulating their siting, construction, maintenance and use.

      7.   A private property owner who leases space for a personal wireless services facility is the only one who receives compensation for the facility, even though numerous other property owners in the area are adversely affected by the location of the facility.

      8.   Chapter 69-3, Utah Code Annotated, grants cities the authority to create or acquire sites to accommodate the erection of telecommunications towers in order to promote the location of telecommunications towers in a manageable area and to protect the aesthetics and environment of the area. The law also allows the city to require the owner of any tower to accommodate the multiple use of the tower by other companies where feasible and to pay the city the fair market rental value for the use of any city owned site.

      9.   Telecommunications towers located on government property with the lease payments being paid to the city, instead of individual property owners evenly distributes the income from the lease payments to all citizens of the city through increased government services thus indirectly compensating all of the citizens of the city for the impact all citizens experience. The public policy objectives to reduce the proliferation of telecommunications towers and to mitigate their impact can be best facilitated by locating telecommunications and antenna support structures on property owned, leased or used by the city as a highest priority whenever feasible.

   C.   Exemptions: Except as specifically exempted herein, the requirements of this section apply to both commercial and private telecommunications facilities. All telecommunications facilities shall comply with the following regulations and all other ordinances of the city and any pertinent regulations of the federal communications commission and the federal aviation administration. The following are exempt from the provisions of this section:

      1.   Temporary emergency wireless telecommunications facilities for emergency communications by public officials.

      2.   Amateur (ham) radio facilities licensed by the federal communications commission (FCC) (see section 18.84.330 of this chapter for ham radio regulations).

      3.   Parabolic antennas less than seven feet (7') in diameter, that are an accessory use of the property.

      4.   Maintenance, repair or reconstruction of a wireless telecommunications facility and related equipment, provided that there is no change in the height or any other dimension of the facility.

      5.   Temporary wireless telecommunications facility, in operation for a maximum period of one hundred eighty (180) days.

      6.   An antenna that is an accessory use to a residential dwelling unit.

   D.   Priority Locations: Personal wireless services antennas shall be located as unobtrusively as is reasonably possible. To accomplish this goal, the provider shall attempt to locate antennas on sites in the following order of priority:

      1.   Existing facilities;

      2.   Property owned by a governmental entity (city, school district, etc.);

      3.   Property zoned commercial or industrial.

   E.   Permitted Uses: Permitted telecommunication facilities must comply with the general plan, required setback and height restrictions, applicable landscaping requirements, and are subject to a site plan review by the community development department.

The Planning Commission, in considering the application, must apply the minimal practicable regulation necessary to achieve its goal of protecting the welfare of the community while ensuring the regulation will not impinge on the needs of the amateur operator to engage in amateur communications. The Planning Commission shall not deny an application for an amateur radio antenna and support structure unless it can be shown that a hazard or a nuisance is created that cannot be mitigated with reasonable conditions.

   F.   All antennas and support structures shall comply with the required setbacks of the applicable zone in which the property is located.

   G.   No more than one amateur radio antenna and support structure per lot may be installed, and shall be located in the rear or side yard, of a home or main structure. (Ord. 2014-01, 1-7-2014, eff. 2-2-2014)

No permit authorizing the construction or moving of a building on a lot shall be issued unless the parcel of land upon which said building is to be constructed qualifies as a "zoning lot" as defined by section 18.08.010 of this title. (Ord. 2002-05, 3-20-2002)

The Planning Commission shall hear and decide requests for special exceptions, variances, nonconforming uses and interpretation of the zoning ordinances as specifically set forth in this section as follows:

   A.   Zone Boundary Lines Dividing A Lot In Single Ownership: Where a zone boundary line divides a lot in single ownership at the time of the passage of the ordinance codified in this title, the Planning Commission may grant a use which is permitted on either portion of such lot to extend to the entire lot, but not more than one hundred feet (100') beyond the boundary line of such zone in which such use is permitted. Before such a permit therefor may be granted, however, it must be shown that the Comprehensive Plan of zoning will be maintained.

   B.   Move Buildings: The Planning Commission may grant a permit to move buildings subject to standards and requirements set forth in section 18.84.300 of this chapter.

   C.   Expansion Of A Nonconforming Building Or Use: The Planning Commission may permit the expansion of a nonconforming building or use thereof subject to standards and requirements set forth in chapter 18.20 of this title.

   D.   Public Utility Buildings: The Planning Commission may permit a public utility building or other structure where it can be shown that such structure is necessary for the convenience or welfare of the public.

   E.   Special Exceptions: The Planning Commission may grant other special exceptions when specifically authorized to do so under the terms of this title or as it may be amended.

   F.   Conditions Of Granting A Variance: The Planning Commission may only grant a variance to waive or modify the requirements of a land use ordinance as applied to a parcel of property if:

      1.   Literal enforcement of the ordinance would cause an unreasonable hardship, as defined in Utah Code section 10-9a-702, for the applicant that is not necessary to carry out the general purpose of the land use ordinances;

      2.   There are special circumstances, as defined in Utah Code section 10-9a-702, attached to the property that do not generally apply to other properties in the same zone;

      3.   Granting the variance is essential to the enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property in the same zone;

      4.   The variance will not substantially affect the General Plan and will not be contrary to the public interest; and

      5.   The spirit of the land use ordinance is observed and substantial justice done. (Ord. 2013-04, 2-19-2013, eff. 4-1-2013)

   A.   Residential Facilities For Elderly Persons: A residential facility for elderly persons is a permitted use in any area where residential dwellings are allowed, except an area zoned to permit exclusively single-family dwellings.

      1.   To operate a residential facility for elderly persons under this section, a permit must first be obtained by the owner, or operator of the facility. To obtain a permit the applicant must establish to the satisfaction of the planning commission that:

         a.   The facility meets all applicable building, safety, zoning, and health ordinances applicable to similar dwellings;

         b.   Adequate off street parking space is provided;

         c.   The facility is capable of use as a residential facility for elderly persons without structural or landscaping alterations that would change the structure's residential character;

         d.   No residential facility for elderly persons may be established within three-fourths (3/4) mile of another residential facility for elderly persons or residential facility for handicapped persons, as defined by Utah Code Annotated;

         e.   No person being treated for alcoholism or drug abuse will be placed in a residential facility for elderly persons; and

         f.   Placement in a residential facility for elderly persons will be on a strictly voluntary basis and not a part of or in lieu of, confinement, rehabilitation, or treatment in a correctional facility.

      2.   Upon review of an application for a permit to establish a residential facility for elderly persons in any area where residential dwellings are allowed, except an area zoned to permit exclusively single-family dwellings, if the city determines that the residential facility for elderly persons complied with the preceding conditions, it shall grant the requested permit to that facility.

      3.   The use granted and permitted by this section is nontransferable and terminates if the structure is devoted to a use other than a residential facility for elderly persons or if the structure fails to comply with the conditions contained herein.

      4.   For purposes of this section no person who is being treated for alcoholism or drug abuse may be placed in a residential facility for elderly persons; and, placement in a residential facility for elderly persons shall be on a strictly voluntary basis and may not be a part of, or in lieu of, confinement, rehabilitation, or treatment in a correctional institution.

         a.   Subject to the granting of a conditional use permit, a residential facility for elderly persons shall be allowed in any municipal zoning district that is zoned to permit exclusively single-family dwelling use, if that facility:

            (1)   Conforms to all applicable health, safety, zoning, and building codes.

            (2)   Is capable of use as a residential facility for elderly persons without structural or landscaping alterations that would change the structure's residential character; and

            (3)   Conforms to the municipality's criteria, adopted by ordinance, governing the location of residential facilities for elderly persons in area zoned to permit exclusively single-family dwellings.

      5.   It shall be unlawful to discriminate against elderly persons and against residential facilities for elderly persons. The decision of a municipality regarding the application for a permit by a residential facility for elderly persons must be based on legitimate land use criteria and may not be based on the age of the facility's residents.

      6.   The requirements of this section that a residential facility for elderly persons obtain a conditional use permit or other permit do not apply if the facility meets the requirements of existing zoning ordinances that allow a specified number of unrelated persons to live together. (Ord. 2002-05, 3-20-2002)

In determining whether proposed residents are likely to represent a direct threat as outlined above, the planning commission and city council shall consider, on the basis of objective evidence: (Ord. 2016-07, 11-2-2016, eff. 11-27-2016)

               (A)   The nature, duration, and severity of the risk;

      5.   Reasonable Accommodation And Related Procedure:

         a.   Interpretation: None of the requirements in the municipal approval process outlined above shall be interpreted to limit any reasonable accommodation necessary to allow the establishment or occupancy of a residential facility for persons with a disability.

         b.   Written Request: Any person or entity who wishes to request a reasonable accommodation shall make a written request for the same to the planning commission for recommendations and city council for final approval. Within such a request:

            (1)   The applicant shall identify the ordinance or regulation the applicant seeks to have waived or modified;

            (2)   The applicant shall identify the nature of the disability requiring accommodation;

            (3)   The applicant shall describe the nature of the requested accommodation;

            (4)   The applicant shall describe why the accommodation is necessary to afford the disabled an equal opportunity to use and enjoy residential housing;

         c.   Reasonable And Necessary Accommodation: The planning commission and city council shall make a reasonable accommodation to any aspect of the municipal approval process outlined above where it receives a written request for accommodation and the city council determines that such an accommodation is reasonable and necessary in order that a disabled individual may have an equal opportunity to use and enjoy residential housing.

            (1)   In considering whether a proposed accommodation is reasonable and necessary, the planning commission and city council shall:

               (A)   Consider the impact of the requested accommodation on the neighborhood in light of existing zoning and use, including any impact on neighborhood parking, traffic, noise, utility use, safety, and other similar concerns, and whether any such impact fundamentally alters the character and/or nature of the neighborhood and/or existing zoning regulations;

               (B)   Consider whether, based on objective evidence and on an individualized basis, a particular accommodation would pose a direct threat to the health or safety of other individuals and/or would result in substantial physical damage to the property of others. In determining the likelihood of direct threat or substantial damage, the planning commission shall consider:

                  (i)   The nature, duration, and severity of the risk;

                  (ii)   The probability that the potential injury will actually occur; and

                  (iii)   Whether reasonable modifications of policies, practices, or procedures or the provision of auxiliary aids or services will mitigate the risk; and

               (C)   Consider whether granting the accommodation would impose any significant or undue expense and/or administrative burden on the city.

            (2)   The city council shall draft a written opinion letter explaining its findings, indicating whether the requested accommodation is granted and detailing any related conditions that may be imposed therewith.

         d.   Appeals Process: Any party that requests a reasonable accommodation that is denied by the City Council may appeal to the District Courts within thirty (30) days of the Council's written decision. (Ord. 2012-01, 2-21-2012, eff. 3-18-2012)

A fire suppression system may be approved in lieu of required fire flow as long as it is designed to meet International Fire Code, and approved by the City Fire Marshal. The home shall be required to hook up to the City water system once the service has been extended to the property.

         a.   If the property is located farther than three hundred feet (300') from the nearest sewer line or sewer line stub, then the City Council may allow the use of a temporary sewer holding tank. The tank must be built to meet the wastewater needs of the home, and must be able to be pumped out by means of a private sewer disposal company.

            (1)   Properties that are allowed to hold the sewer instead of hooking up to the City sewer, shall be required to hook up to the City sewer if the sewer line is extended at some future time within three hundred feet (300') of the property.
