A.

Purpose and intent.

1.

Special exception (SE) uses are those uses that, because of the nature of the use and/or its intensity (density, FAR, building types), would not be appropriate generally, but may by addressing their impacts have some degree of compatibility with the uses within a zoning district. Special exception uses require additional development design standards or conditions to ensure compatibility with adjacent uses and the development character of the surrounding neighborhood. Conditions of approval may require more restrictive development standards than established within a zoning district, such as setbacks, building height and landscape buffer requirements to ensure compatibility. The standards described for SE uses contained in this section shall supplement and be in addition to all other standards and criteria required within this chapter.

2.

To ensure that compatibility is achieved, SE uses require review and decision by the town commission based on criteria to determine compatibility of the use/development with the zoning district and surrounding area.

3.

If a proposed planned unit development (PUD) or existing approved PUD proposes an SE use, the SE use shall be reviewed as part of the PUD process and not through a separate special exception use review process; however, the special exception use review criteria shall be addressed as part of the PUD review process.

B.

Review procedures and criteria for special exception (SE) uses.

1.

Prior to formally submitting a request for a SE use, the applicant shall be encouraged to meet with the Town of St. Leo staff at a pre-application meeting. The purpose of this meeting is to give the applicant the benefit of comments about the advisability of undertaking a SE use at the proposed location and SE procedures and requirements.

2.

A special exception (SE) use application shall be submitted to the town clerk containing the following information:

a.

The completion and submittal of the Town of St. Leo application form signed by the property owner of record and the application fee as established by the town commission.

b.

A written narrative describing the proposed use or development, any requested variances to this chapter, and identification of any impact to established visual corridors.

c.

A letter of authorization/affidavit from the property owner for any representative to act on behalf of the property owner.

d.

A site plan(s) drawn to scale depicting the legal property boundary of the subject site, location of existing buildings and proposed buildings, parking layout, driveway locations and landscaping. The site plan shall contain dimensional information relative to building square footage, building/structure height and setbacks; location, size and setback of signs; parking space and drive aisle dimensions; stormwater facility locations and volumes; and landscape buffer width and planting plan.

e.

Other information as may be deemed necessary by the town to evaluate the plan for compliance with this chapter and the Land Development Code.

3.

Review criteria.

a.

Impacts of the following factors shall be reviewed in determining whether to approve, approve with conditions or deny a special exception (SE) use application:

i.

Traffic movements relative to ingress/egress, traffic volumes on adjacent roadways, vehicle and pedestrian safety, and refuse collection.

ii.

Location and height of buildings, off-street parking, drainage facilities and other structures relative to adjacent property and uses.

iii.

Compatibility of the proposed use and development with the existing natural environment of the site and surrounding area, adjacent neighborhoods and historic sites.

iv.

Concentration of the same or similar uses and/or structures, in surrounding the neighborhood.

v.

Visual and aesthetic quality of the proposed development within the context of St. Leo's unique topography, natural forested landscape, historic sites and landmarks, and visual corridors and view sheds identified in the Visual Corridor Study adopted by the town commission on August 11, 2001 (Resolution No. 01-03).

vi.

A.

Purpose and intent. The purpose and intent of these regulations is to regulate the establishment of wireless communication facilities in recognition of the public need and demand for advanced telecommunication and information technologies and services balanced against the impacts such facilities may have on properties within the Town of St. Leo. This balance shall be established by:

1.

Providing for the appropriate location and development criteria for wireless communication towers and wireless communication antennae within the Town of St. Leo;

2.

Providing for the protection of the archeological, architectural, rural hillside topography and natural forested landscape, and historical character of the Town of St. Leo and its neighborhoods from incompatible and obtrusive visual impacts; and protecting designated historic districts and landmarks, and important adopted visual corridors/view sheds such as State Road 52 and Lake Jovita as identified in the Visual Corridor Study prepared by Engelhardt, Hammer and Associates, Inc. and adopted by the town commission by Resolution No. 01-03, from incompatible and obtrusive visual impacts;

3.

Stating that it is of the highest priority of the town commission that wireless communication support facilities be encouraged to be located on existing towers or in agricultural or institutional areas that are adjacent to commercial uses or in areas where vertical intrusions already exist, especially relative to important established visual corridors;

4.

Minimizing the number of towers and adverse effects of such facilities through careful design, siting and screening criteria; and

5.

Maximizing the use of existing and future wireless communication support facilities and encouraging multiple users on such facilities.

B.

Definitions.

1.

Camouflaged means a tower or structure and/or wireless communication antenna (WCA) designed and constructed so as to blend with the natural or built environment. Camouflaged towers can resemble a natural or manmade structure through the use of less obtrusive antenna arrays, shape, color and texture to cause an object to appear to become a part of something else in order to be compatible with the surrounding properties. Camouflaging may include blending into the visual environment by creating a likeness of a church steeple, flagpole or tree or blending with the sky.

2.

Fall radius means the distance in which a wireless communication tower (WCT) is designed/engineered to fall as measured from its base.

3.

View shed means the field of view from one geographic point or area to another, particularly any view of unique natural and/or manmade features. The view shed includes the natural and/or manmade features that are the focal point of the view and other objects that are visible within the view shed that are located in the foreground, middleground and background of the subject of the view and seen simultaneously as one landscape.

4.

Search ring means a geographic area in which the antenna is intended to be located to provide the carrier's designed service.

5.

Wireless communication antenna (WCA) means an antenna at a fixed location used for the transmission or reception of wireless communication signals, excluding those antennas used exclusively for dispatch communications by public emergency agencies, ham radio antennas, satellite antennas, those antennas which receive video programming services via multipoint distribution services which are one meter or less in diameter, and those antennas which receive television broadcast signals. The WCA shall include any accessory equipment and equipment shelters to support the facility.

6.

Wireless communication tower (WCT) means a monopole, guyed or a lattice type tower greater than the applicable zoning district's maximum height limitation or as limited by this section, designed for the attachment of or as support for wireless communication antennas or other antennas.

C.

Wireless communication antenna (WCA) general siting criteria.

1.

The town commission or its designee may approve a WCA as a permitted use in any zoning district provided the WCA is located on an existing utility pole or tower or other tall vertical structure, and the height of the WCA does not exceed 20 feet above the existing height of the structure. Such approval shall be based on meeting all the criteria in this subsection. Such review by the town commission or its designee shall be without public notice.

2.

All WCAs shall be designed to blend into and be compatible with the aesthetic character of the principal structure where reasonably practical taking into consideration the location of the WCA, and its impact on adopted view sheds and neighboring uses.

3.

A WCA proposed to be located on a historic landmark or in a designated historic district may be denied if the WCA creates a detrimental impact on the historic character of the historic landmark or district utilizing the United States Secretary of Interior Standards for Rehabilitation of historic structures as well as other standards that may be adopted by the town commission.

4.

If a WCA requires an accessory equipment storage area, it shall be no greater than 15 feet in height and shall meet all zoning and buffering requirements in this chapter.

D.

Wireless communication tower (WCT) general siting criteria. The following requirements shall apply to all new WCT's:

Special exception use provisions, review criteria and procedures shall be followed in addition to those specified in this section.

2.

In order to protect important established visual corridors, WCTs shall be prohibited within the visual corridors adopted by the town commission, unless the applicant can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the town commission that:

a.

The WCT will be sufficiently screened by the existing vegetation, buildings or topography.

b.

The WCT is camouflaged, so it is not visually obtrusive.

c.

That the tower will blend with existing vertical intrusions within the view shed of the adopted visual corridors.

3.

The town commission may waive or modify any of the requirements of this section, if such waiver or modification would better implement the purpose and intent of this section.

E.

Application submittal requirements for WCTs.

1.

A WCT shall not be approved unless it can be demonstrated by the applicant that there is a need for the new WCT that cannot be met by placing a WCA on an existing WCT or on other structures or by replacement of an existing WCT. Information concerning, but not limited to the following factors or other information requested by the town commission, shall be provided by the applicant to demonstrate that there is a need for a new WCT:

a.

A map showing the search ring for the proposed WCT, location of the closest existing WCTs and/or WCAs owned the applicant, and the location of other WCTs and structures of similar height within a one mile radius of the proposed WCT and search ring;

b.

Evidence that the following conditions exist:

i.

There is insufficient structural capacity of existing WCTs or other suitable structures or the infeasibility of reinforcing or replacing an existing WCT;

ii.

There is an unavailability of suitable structures or existing WCTs, located within or outside the Town of St. Leo to accommodate the applicant's system design or engineering;

iii.

There is radio frequency interference or other signal interference problems at existing WCT or other structures;

c.

A comparative evaluation (which may include cost studies) for the placement of a new WCT versus the utilization of existing WCTs, other structures (such as buildings or power transmission poles), other suitable structures within or outside the Town of St. Leo or the placement of multiple smaller height WCTs as alternatives to provide the same level of service. However, the fact that the use of an existing WCT or other structure would cost more than the cost of constructing a new WCT will not, absent other factors which include that the additional cost not be unreasonable, justify approval;

2.

Submittal of a copy of the FCC application and, if available, the FCC approval.

3.

The applicant shall provide a letter of commitment by at least one WCA user to locate on the proposed WCT. The applicant must include a statement in the application of its good faith intent to allow for the co-location of WCAs of other entities, at market terms, provided that the cost of modifying the WCT to accommodate the co-locating WCA is borne by the co-locating entity.

4.

The applicant shall send a written notice to all potential users of the proposed WCT offering an opportunity for co-location. The list of potential users shall be provided along with a copy of the notice letter at the time the application is filed. If, during a period of 30 days after the notice letters are sent to potential users, a user or users request, in writing, to co-locate on the WCT, the applicant shall accommodate the request(s), unless evidence is provided that co-location is not reasonably possible based on the criteria contained in subsection 4.

5.

The town commission may require, at the expense of the applicant, a view shed analysis to enable the town commission to assess visual impacts of the proposed WCT on the Town of St. Leo's unique topography and natural forested landscape, and important established visual corridors. Such analysis may require the applicant to provide on-site visualization of the proposed WCT, which may include balloons, crane or other acceptable methods approved by the town commission.

6.

The town commission may require the applicant to submit, in addition to the application fee, an additional fee to fund the hiring of an RF engineer by the town commission to review the need for a new WCT.

7.

At the time of approval of the WCT, the owner of the WCT shall provide such financial assurances to the town commission as may reasonably be required, which shall insure the payment of the cost of removal of the WCT when abandoned if there is a reasonable likelihood that the real property and WCT do not provide substantial security for the lien by the town commission to recover any costs incurred by the town in the removal of abandoned WCTs. Such financial assurance may be in the form of a letter of credit, bond, insurance policy in the town's name, and/or cash held by the town.

F.

Replacement of existing WCT.

1.

An existing WCT, which was lawful at the time of its construction may be replaced or modified as a permitted use for purposes of accommodating co-location of additional WCAs or otherwise provided that:

a.

The replacement or modified WCT shall not exceed a total height of 150 feet or, if the existing WCT has an approved height variance greater than 150 feet, the replacement WCT shall not exceed the approved height.

b.

The replacement or modified WCT shall be located within the same zoning lot as the existing WCT and shall be located so as to maximize compliance with existing minimum yard requirements.

c.

For the replacement of a WCT, the applicant shall cause the existing WCT to be removed within 90 days of completion of the replacement WCT and the relocation or installation of the WCA. In any event, the existing WCT shall be removed within 180 days of the town's final construction inspection of the replacement WCT.

d.

For a modification to an existing WCT or if the location of the replacement WCT is such that the existing WCA must be moved before the replacement/modified WCT is constructed, temporary portable antennae support facilities may be used, but must be removed within 30 days of the completion of the replacement WCT and the relocation or installation of the WCA. In any event, the temporary portable antennae facilities must be removed within 60 days of the town's final construction inspection of the replacement/modified WCT.

G.

Abandoned WCTs.

1.

Any WCT that is abandoned shall immediately be removed or demolished. For the purposes of this section, abandoned shall mean that no WCA or other commercial antenna has been operational and located on the WCT for two or more years and operational shall mean operated commercially for at least 60 consecutive days.

2.

Where a WCT is abandoned but not removed or demolished as required hereby, the town commission may remove or demolish the WCT, dispose of the WCT, and place a lien on the property and WCT for the costs thereof by following the procedures for demolition of nuisance or unsafe structures, such lien on the property and WCT shall be superior to all other liens except taxes. Entities, which own a WCA or other commercial antenna on a WCT, shall provide written notice to the town when such WCAs or commercial antennae are no longer on the WCT.
