The purpose of the following regulations for "satellite dishes" or "dish antennas" of greater than one (1) meter in diameter in residentially zoned districts or greater than two (2) meters in diameter in exclusively commercially or industrially zoned areas is to improve the aesthetic appearance of these structures within all zoning districts. The regulations shall not impose unreasonable limitations on or prevent reception of satellite delivery signals by receive-only antennas or impose costs on the users of such antennas that are prohibitive in light of the purchase and installation cost of the equipment. Except as noted herein, satellite dishes of less than one (1) meter in residentially zoned districts or less than two (2) meters in exclusively commercially or industrially zoned areas in diameter are exempted from the regulations contained herein.
2. 
In all zoning districts, one (1) satellite dish shall be a permitted use on any lot or parcel of land. Any additional satellite dishes proposed for a lot requires a conditional use permit.
3. 
In no case shall a satellite dish be permitted to be attached to a portable device. Any satellite dish must be stationary.

No message or identification, other than the manufacturer's identification, shall be allowed to be portrayed on a dish antenna. The message or identification shall not exceed twenty-five hundredths (0.25) square feet in area.

The side and rear setback lines shall be in accordance with the setback requirements of the underlying zoning district.
b. 
Ground-mounted satellite dishes in the commercial, industrial or multi-family districts shall be located in a designated service area outside of any required landscape area or front and side yard setback area. The antenna shall not be placed in the area between the front setback line and the structure.
6. 
Screening Of Satellite Dishes.
a. 
Screening of satellite dishes shall serve to reduce the visual impact on adjoining properties without impeding the "line of sight" of dish reception. The location and type of screening shall be as approved by the Department of Planning on the site or plot plan.
b. 
Screening shall be accomplished through the use of fencing, landscaping, in the form of evergreen and deciduous trees and shrubbery, structures or topography. For ground-mounted satellite dishes in the single-family residential districts, trees and shrubs shall be at least one-half (1/2) the height of the dish at the time of planting. (The center of the dish shall be determined as the point where the dish is attached to its base when viewed from off of the site.) The landscaping material shall be maintained and replaced if it dies.
c. 
Screening of roof-mounted antenna in commercial, industrial or multi-family districts is required up to three (3) feet or to the center of the dish, whichever is greater. The design and material composition of the screening shall be compatible with the existing building design and colors and be approved by the Department of Planning.

For buildings listed on the National or State Register of Historic Places or the Wildwood Register or within a historic area or district designated on the City's Master Plan, no antenna or dish shall not be visible from fronting or flanking streets or otherwise visible from public view at any point. This is to maintain the aesthetic characteristics of the historic structures and neighborhoods. No antenna or dish greater in size than necessary for its purpose shall be permitted in these historic areas, including dishes of less than one (1) meter in residentially zoned areas or less than two (2) meters in exclusively commercially or industrially zoned areas if a smaller size is feasible.
7. 
For the "R" residential zoning districts other than the multi-family districts, the height of ground-mounted satellite dishes shall not exceed twelve (12) feet above the average grade. The dishes shall not exceed a diameter of ten (10) feet.
