<br />NOTE: Wireless facilities are regulated under section 971.44(5).
<br />The intent of these regulations is to reasonably accommodate telecommunications needs in a non-discriminatory and competitive neutral manner
<br />while ensuring safety, appropriate locations of communications towers and antennas, avoiding an unnecessary proliferation of new tower sites, and
<br />minimizing negative aesthetic impacts of communications towers and antennas.
<br />Additions (such as antennas or support structures) to existing, legal nonconforming communications towers shall not require special exception
<br />use approval unless such additions result in an increase in the original tower height by ten (10) percent or more, as referenced in section 971.05 3),
<br />and the increased height requires special exception use approval under the requirements of this section. Where no special exception use approval is
<br />required, staff level approval may be granted. (Note: see section 901.03 definition of "communications tower" for limitations applicable to utility
<br />poles.)
