Lands on which livestock may be kept. Livestock may be kept on any unplatted lot in a residential district provided the lot is a minimum of one (1) acre in size.

Size of livestock. If the livestock animal weighs more than ten (10) pounds, the number of that particular animal shall be limited to one (1) per acre.

Stables or structures for livestock. Private stables or structures for the keeping of livestock are permitted provided the lot is a minimum of one (1) acre in size and the stable is located a minimum of one hundred (100) feet from any side lot line and a minimum of thirty-five (35) feet from the rear lot line.

Floodplains and drainage ways.

Bodies of water.

Prominent ridges and rock ledges.

Existing tree cover including tree masses, windrows and significant individual trees.

Individual buildings. Individual buildings should be oriented in a way that establishes neighborhoods and sub-neighborhoods.

Reduction of unusable open space. Unusable open space should be reduced through building orientation, the use of low walls, fencing, landscaping and entry design.

Street layout. The layout of the streets should provide for an interconnected street network, which allows for the safe operation of vehicles within the development and surrounding neighborhood. Excessively wide streets encourage high speed traffic and should be avoided.

Parking area layout. Double-loaded parking areas along private streets or drives are generally not acceptable. Parking areas should be clustered and separated from the street.

Parking enclosures. Parking enclosures should be designed and sited so as to complement the primary structures and to provide visual relief from extensive pavement areas.

Pedestrian safety. Pedestrian circulation systems (sidewalks, walkways and paths) shall be located and designed to provide physical separation from vehicles along all public and private streets and within any parking area.

Pedestrian access. Pedestrian access should be designed to provide reasonable linkages of dwelling units to neighborhood facilities, such as recreation, services, mail and parking.

Landscaping details. Pedestrian systems should incorporate landscaping details to increase the visual interest and character of the neighborhood.

Elongated sites with rectangular, double-loaded building footprints should be avoided. These designs typically lack interest and fail to create a strong sense of neighborhood.

The architectural design of each unit or building should impart a feeling of neighborhood scale. Units should be designed with vertical and horizontal offsets to break up roof lines, define private outdoor areas, allow greater views and admit light and air to unit interiors. Large, blank wall surfaces should be avoided. Windows and projecting wall surfaces should be used to break up larger wall surfaces and establish visual interest.

The same level of architectural design and quality of materials should be applied to all sides of the building. The side and rear elevations, garages, carports and all accessory structures should maintain the same level of design, aesthetic quality and architectural compatibility.

Screening from the street of all outdoor refuse areas, ground-mounted mechanical equipment, utilities and banks of meters shall be provided. The screening of these items is to be architecturally compatible with major building components and should include landscaping.

No adult entertainment establishment shall be allowed to locate or expand to within one thousand two hundred fifty (1,250) feet of any residentially zoned lot, religious assembly, school, park or recreation use or child care center. This separation distance shall be measured as a straight line, without regard to intervening properties or structures, from the nearest exterior wall of the adult entertainment establishment to the nearest lot line of the lot that is zoned residential or that contains the religious assembly, school, park or recreation use or child care center.

No adult entertainment establishment shall be allowed to locate or expand to within five hundred (500) feet of any business licensed to sell or serve alcoholic beverages. The separation distance shall be measured as a straight line, without regard to intervening properties or structures, from the nearest exterior structural wall of each business.

District Height Limitations. The requirements set forth in this Article shall govern the location of towers and antennas that are installed in all zoning districts. The height limitations applicable to buildings and structures shall not apply to towers and antennas.

Public Property And Rights-Of-Way. Antennas, towers, and associated equipment located on property owned, leased or otherwise controlled by the governing authority, including rights-of-way, shall comply with the requirements of this Article, in addition to the requirement that a license, lease, or agreement authorizing such antenna or tower must have been approved by the governing authority.

Amateur Radio Receive-Only Antennas. This Article shall not govern any tower or the installation of any antenna that is under seventy (70) feet in height and is owned and operated by a Federally-licensed amateur radio station operator or is used exclusively for receive-only antennas.

Pre-Existing Towers And Antennas. Any tower or antenna for which a permit has been properly issued prior to the effective date of this Article shall not be required to meet the requirements of this Section. Any such towers or antennas shall be referred to as "pre-existing towers" or "pre-existing antennas."

Preemption. Notwithstanding any ordinance to the contrary, the procedures set forth in this Article shall be applicable to all Wireless Communications Facilities existing or installed, built, or modified after the effective date of this Article to the fullest extent permitted by law. No provision of this Article shall apply to any circumstance in which such application shall be unlawful under superseding Federal or State law and furthermore, if any Section, Subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Article is now or in the future superseded or preempted by State or Federal law or found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unauthorized, such provision shall be automatically interpreted and applied as required by law.

Purpose — Goals. The purpose of this Article is to establish general guidelines for the siting of towers and antennas. The goals of this Article are to:

Principal Or Accessory Use. Towers may be either a principal or incidental use in all commercial and industrial zoning districts, subject to any applicable requirement relating to yard or setback. An incidental use subject to a leasehold interest of a person other than the lot owner may be approved for a Tower only if the leasehold area separately meets all requirements for a separate subdivided lot, including dedicated access, parking, setbacks, and lot size, applicable to a primary use in the district in which the use is proposed as if it was a separate subdivided lot. No other district shall allow Towers unless required by law. All other wireless facilities other than Towers, may be a principal or incidental use in all districts subject to the requirements herein.

Inventory Of Existing Sites. Each applicant for an antenna and/or tower shall provide to the Director of Community Development or their designees an inventory of its existing towers that are either within the jurisdiction of the governing authority or within one-quarter (1/4) mile of the border thereof, including specific information about the location, height and design of each tower.

Aesthetics — Lighting. The guidelines set forth in this Article shall govern the location of all towers, and the installation of all antennas governed by the Article, provided, however, that the Planning Commission may waive these requirements if it determines that the goals of this Article are better served thereby or if the requirements are not technically feasible as demonstrated by the applicant with substantial evidence.

Federal Requirements. All towers must meet current standards and regulations of the FAA, the FCC and any other agency of the Federal Government with the authority to regulate towers and antennas. If such standards and regulations are changed, then the owners of the towers and antennas shall bring such towers and antennas into compliance with such revised standards and regulations within six (6) months of the effective date of such standards and regulations, unless a more stringent compliance schedule is mandated by the controlling Federal agency. Failure to bring towers and antennas into compliance with such revised standards and regulations shall constitute grounds for the removal of the tower or antenna at the owner's expense.

Building Codes — Safety Standards. All requirements of this Article of the Code shall apply to the construction, modification and maintenance of each Tower and are reincorporated herein as building code requirements to the extent permitted by law. To ensure the structural integrity of towers, the owner of a tower shall ensure that it is maintained in compliance with standards contained in applicable local building codes and the applicable standards for towers that are published by the Electronic Industries Association, as amended from time to time. Any structural modification or alteration to an existing tower or antenna will require a structural analysis by a licensed professional engineer as part of the application for the same, unless waived by the Director of Community Development. If, upon inspection, the inspector concludes that a tower fails to comply with such codes and standards and constitutes a danger to persons or property, then upon notice being provided to the owner of the tower, the owner shall have thirty (30) days to bring such tower into compliance with such standards. If the owner fails to bring such tower into compliance within said thirty (30) days, the City may remove such tower at the owner's expense.

Setbacks And Separation. The following setbacks and separation requirements shall apply to all towers and antennas, provided however, that the City may reduce the standard setbacks and separation requirements if the goals of this Section would be better served thereby.

Security Fencing. All towers and antennas shall be protected from unauthorized access by appropriate security measures. A description of the proposed security measures shall be provided as part of any application to install, build or modify towers or antennas. Additional measures may be required as a condition of the issuance of a building permit or administrative permit as deemed necessary by the Director of Community Developer or their designees and the Board of Aldermen in the case of a special use permit. Towers, antennas, and any appurtenances shall be safely maintained and fenced or otherwise secured to prevent unauthorized access or climbing. Barbed, electrified, or razor wire is prohibited.

Landscaping. The following requirements shall govern the landscaping surrounding towers, provided, however, that the City may waive such requirements if the goals of this Section would be better served thereby.

Specific Administratively Approved Uses. The following uses may be approved by the Director of Community Development or their designees after conducting an administrative review:

Application Procedures. Applications for administrative permits shall be made on the appropriate forms to the director and accompanied by a deposit of five hundred dollars ($500.00) or such other deposit amounts as may be established by the Board of Aldermen. The deposit shall be used to cover administrative costs and any telecommunications or other consulting fees or other actual, direct, and reasonable costs that the City may incur in review of the application, but shall not include such amounts as limited by applicable law. Any amount not used by the City shall be refunded to the applicant upon written request after a final decision. Applications requesting any information that is prohibited by Federal or State law under the applicable circumstance shall be deemed inapplicable to the subject application. Applicant shall submit along with its completed application form.

In reviewing an application, the Director of Community Development may require the applicant to provide additional information, including technical studies, and/or to the extent permitted by law, may require applicant to pay in addition to the cost of such studies if to be performed by the City, if reasonably necessary to assess whether the standards for approval are satisfied. An application shall not be deemed complete until satisfaction of all application requirements and submission of all requested information as provided herein.

The Director of Community Development shall issue a decision on the permit within the time-frame permitted by applicable law. The Director of Community Development may deny the application or approve the application as submitted or with such modifications as are, in their judgement, reasonably necessary to protect the safety or general welfare of the citizens consistent with and to affect the purposes of this Article. The Director of Community Development may consider the purposes of this Section and factors established herein, for granting a special use permit as well as any other considerations with the Article. A decision to deny an application shall be made in writing and state the specific reasons for the denial.

General. The following provisions shall govern the issuance of special use permits for communication towers:

Decision And Findings Required. A decision by the governing authority shall be contemporaneously accompanied by substantial evidence support the decision, which shall be made a part of the written record of the meeting at which the final decisions on the application is rendered. Evidence may be submitted with the application or thereafter, or presented during the public hearing by the Applicant or others.

Information Required. Each applicant requesting a special use permit shall submit a scaled site plan and a scaled elevation view and other supporting drawings, calculations and other documentation, signed and sealed by appropriate licensed professionals, showing the location and dimensions of all improvements, including information concerning topography, radio frequency coverage, tower height requirements, setbacks, drives, parking, fencing, landscaping, adjacent uses and other information deemed by the City to be necessary to assess compliance with this Article. For applications for sites within the City rights-of-way or on City-owned property, no application shall be submitted for permit approval without attaching the City's consent to use the right-of-way or property for the specific construction application. This consent should be in the form of an agreement with the City to place and/or maintain private improvements in the City rights-of-way or on City-owned property.

Factors Considered In Granting Special Use Permits. The Board of Aldermen shall consider the following factors in determining whether to issue a special use permit, although the Board of Aldermen may waive or reduce the burden on the applicant of one (1) or more of these criteria if the Board of Aldermen concludes that the goals of this Section are better served thereby.

Unless expressly waived by both the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board of Aldermen, a gaming casino shall be accessible by a four-lane street from the highway to the facility parking area.

The right-of-way width of a street serving the gaming casino and adjacent facilities shall conform to all applicable minimum City standards and requirements for such streets.

Unless expressly waived by the Planning and Zoning Commission and Board of Aldermen, there shall be a minimum number of parking spaces based on one-half (½) parking space per patron for the legal capacity of the gaming casino.

No new medical facility or marijuana facility shall be initially sited within three hundred (300) feet of any then-existing elementary or secondary school, child day care center, or church. In the case of a freestanding facility, the distance between the facility and the school, day care, or church shall be measured from the external wall of the facility structure closest in proximity to the school, day care, or church to the closest point of the property line of the school, day care, or church. If the school, day care, or church is part of a larger structure, such as an office building or strip mall, the distance shall be measured to the entrance or exit of the school, day care, or church closest in proximity to the facility. In the case of a facility that is part of a larger structure, such as an office building or strip mall, the distance between the facility and the school, day care, or church shall be measured from the property line of the school, day care, or church to the facility's entrance or exit closest in proximity to the school, day care, or church. If the school, day care, or church is part of a larger structure, such as an office building or strip mall, the distance shall be measured to the entrance or exit of the school, day care, or church closest in proximity to the facility. Measurements shall be made along the shortest path between the demarcation points that can be lawfully traveled by foot.

Outdoor Operations Or Storage Prohibited. Unless licensed as an outdoor medical marijuana cultivation facility or a comprehensive marijuana cultivation facility, all such marijuana facilities' operations and all storage of materials, products, or equipment shall be within a fully enclosed building.
