FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Request for amendments to the Zoning Ordinance, Sec.
30-24(B), Permitted Use Table, Radio, Television, Microwave
and Cellular Telephone Transmission Towers
FILE: 670-OB
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request.
Because of the need to guarantee the health, safety and general
welfare of its citizens and with a view towards conserving property
values and encouraging the most appropriate use of land throughout
the community, staff felt it necessary to better define those zoning
districts that would permit the placement of radio, television,
microwave and cellular telephone transmission towers.
Currently, the Zoning Ordinance permits such uses in the NCS,
GC-MD, CBD, C-M, LI and HI zoning districts by right. The uses are
permitted with a specific use permit in the A-R, R-S, RM-M, RM-H,
RCR, NC, GC-MD-2, GC-MD-3 and PUD zoning districts.
Staff recommends that radio, television, microwave and cellular
telephone transmission towers be permitted by right in the CBD, CM,
LI and HI zoning districts and in GC-MD with a specific use permit.
