3. Specifies and differentiates between the antenna/tower height exemption in non- commercial/industrial districts (proposed to be 35') and commercial/industrial districts (proposed to remain at 70 ) [pg. 18]. 4. Prohibits lattice type and guyed towers; allows only monopole, stealth, attachments, and collocations (pp. 19 & 21). 5. In accordance with the chart on page 19: a. Better delineates facility types by category (collocation, attached, replacement, stealth, new non -stealth). b. Tightens requirements in A-1 (Agricultural 1) zoned areas by requiring all new non -stealth facilities to receive special exception approval. c. Treats A-1 zoned properties within the Urban Service Area and in specified areas west of the Urban Service Area the same as the RFD (Rural Fringe Development) zoning district, thereby prohibiting new non - stealth (e.g. monopole towers) facilities in those A-1 zoned areas. Such A-1 areas are either designated for future residential use or located just outside of the Urban Service Area and have been identified as having rural "residential" characteristics. 6. Limits the height of all new wireless facilities to a maximum of 150' [pp. 21, 35]. 7. Establishes height regulations in proximity to private airstrips (e.g. Aerodrome, Fly -in Ranches) not addressed by the county's existing airport zoning regulations which apply to general aviation airports only (Vero Beach, Sebastian, New Hibiscus airports) [pp. 24 & 25]. 8. For new non -stealth facilities: a. Requires photo -simulations from vantage points on adjacent occupied structures and roads, and mitigation of adverse effects on adjacent roads and properties [pg. 27]. b- For non -stealth facilities over 70 feet in height, requires specific engineering analysis and certification that the proposed facility's coverage or capacity cannot be achieved by another type of facility (e.g. collocation, replacement tower, stealth facility) [pp. 27-29]. 9. Formats special regulations by facility type [pp.19-36]. 10. For new stealth facilities, requires PZC approval and requires photo -simulations from vantage points at adjacent occupied structures and roads. Through presentation of said photo simulations, an applicant must demonstrate that the placement, height, and design of the facility results in a facility that is not readily identifiable as a wireless facility and that blends into the surrounding area [pp. 35 & 26]. a. For new stealth facilities over 70 feet in height, requires the same engineering analysis and certification described in 8.b. above to justify the need, location, and height of the proposed stealth facility [pg. 36].
