(b) Within all districts that the above table shows as "Prohibited" , new antenna -
supporting structures may be permitted as a special exception use, provided
that the antenna -supporting structure is owned by Indian River County and is
used for county communications, in accordance with the adopted wireless
master plan. (see section 8, beloyvj.
Sec. 5. Development Standards.
These standards
shall apply
to the
following
types
of Wireless Communications
Facilities:
(a) New Non -stealth Antenna Supporting Structures.
(1) Approval criteria for new antenna -supporting structures:
a. Setbacks.
1. Any new antenna -supporting structures, equipment
enclosures and ancillary structures shall meet the
minimum setback requirements for the land use district
where they are located, except that where the minimum
setback distance for an antenna supporting structure
from any property line is less than the height of the
proposed antenna -supporting structure, the minimum
setback distance shall be increased to equal the height
of the proposed antenna supporting structure., unless
the antenna-su_,pporting structure has been constructed
usingbreakxoint" design technology, in which case
the minimum setback distance shall be equal to 110%
of the distance from the top of the structure to the
"breakpoint" level of the structure. For example, on a
150 foot tall monopole with a "breakpoint" at 100 feet,
the minimum setback distance would be 55 feet (110%
of 50 feet, the distance from the top of the monopole to
the "breakpoint". However, in all instances, the
minimum setback distance from any occupied residence
shall be at least 300% of the height of the entire
proposed structure. Certification by a Florida
professional engineer of the "breakpoint"design and
the design's fall radius must be provided together with
the other information required herein from an applicant.

b. Height.
The overall height of any antenna -supporting structure,
antenna and/or antenna array, excluding those related to
amateur radio, shall not be greater than one -hundred and
fifty (150) feet. Height for all purposes in this Section shall
mean the linear distance from the ground to the highest
physical point on the Wireless Communications Facility.
except for one vertical structure less than 4 inches in
diameter which extend no more than ten (1.0) feet above the
antenna support stnicture, antenna, and antenna array and
matches the color of the antenna and support structure.
c. Construction.
New antenna -supporting structures shall have a monopole
type construction only, and shall not be guyed or have a
lattice type construction.
d. Structural Integrity.,
1. The entire antenna -supporting structure and all
appurtenances shall be designed pursuant to the wind
speed design requirements of ASCE 7-95, including
M subsequent modification to those specifications,
and applicable buildingg code requirements, and

deemed to be abandoned. Determination of the date of abandonment shall be
made the Plannins4 Director who shall have the right to request documentation
and/or affidavits from the facility owner regarding the issue of wireless

communications facility is imminent.
(b) At such time as the Planning Director reasonably determines that a wireless
communications facility is abandoned, the Planning Director shall provide the
facility owner with written notice of an abandonment determination by
certified mail. Failure or refusal by the owner to respond within sixty (60)
days of receipt of such notice shall constitute prima facie evidence that the
wireless communications facility has been abandoned.
() If the owner of the wireless communications facility fails to respond or fails to
demonstrate that the wireless communications facility is not abandoned, the
facility shall be considered abandoned and the owner of the facility shall have
an additional one hundred twenty (120) days within which to: (i) reactivate the
use of the wireless communications facility or transfer the wireless
communications facility to another owner who makes actual use of the facility
within the one -hundred -twenty -day period, or (ii) dismantle and remove the
wireless communications facility.
(d) Prior to issuance of a building permit for a wireless communications facility,
the underlying, property owner shall acknowledge in writing, in a manner
acceptable to the county attorney's office his or her responsibilities as the
property owner to perform or contract to perform and pay all costs associated
with dismantling and properly removing and disposing of an abandoned

Sec. 8. Wireless Master Plan
An applicant for a wireless communication facility may elect to participate in the
County's Wireless Master Plan ("Plan"). Participants in the Plan will not be required to
have a public hearingow proposed facility included in the Plan and will not be
