18.13.110: DESIGN CRITERIA:
A. As provided above, new facilities shall be designed to accommodate collocation,
unless the applicant demonstrates why such design is not feasible for economic, technical,
or physical reasons.
B. Facilities shall be architecturally compatible with the surrounding buildings and land
uses in the zoning district and screened or otherwise integrated, through location and
design, to blend in with the existing characteristics of the site.
1. Setback: A tower's setback shall be measured from the base of the tower to the
property line of the parcel on which it is located. In residential districts and
residential land use areas, where permitted, towers shall be set back from all
property lines a distance equal to one hundred percent (100%) of tower height as
measured from ground level, unless applicant demonstrates that because of
design, landscaping or screening, unusual geographic limitations or other public
policy considerations such a setback is unnecessary and the city, in its sole
discretion, determines such a setback is not necessary. All other towers shall
comply with the minimum setback requirements of the area in which they are
located in all other zoning districts, unless there are unusual geographical
limitations or other public policy considerations as determined in the sole and
absolute discretion of the city.
Such considerations shall include by way of illustration and not limitation, but are
not limited to:
a. Impact on adjacent properties;
b. Alternative sites for personal wireless facilities; and
c. The extent to which screening and camouflaging will mitigate the effects of the
personal wireless facilities.
Ordinance - Page 14
chubbuck101612 ord w bldg code amend.wpd
2. Right Of Way Setback Exception: The setback requirement may be waived if
the antenna and antenna support structure is located in the city right of way.
3. View Corridors: Due consideration shall be given so that placement of towers,
antenna, and personal wireless service facilities do not obstruct or significantly
diminish views of the mountains west and south of the city.
4. Color: Towers shall have a color generally matching the surroundings or
background that minimizes their visibility, unless a different color is required by
the FCC or FAA. Security fencing should be colored or should be of a design
which blends into the character of the existing neighborhood.
5. Lights, Signals And Signs: No signals, lights, or signs shall be permitted on
towers unless required by the FCC or the FAA. Should lighting be required, in
cases where there are residences located within a distance which is three hundred
percent (300%) of the height of the tower, then dual mode lighting shall be
requested from the FAA.
6. Equipment Structures: Ground level equipment, buildings, and the tower base
shall be screened from public view. All such structures shall be considered
primary structures, not accessory structures. The standards for the equipment
buildings are as follows:
a. The maximum floor area is three hundred (300) square feet and the
maximum height is twelve feet (12'). Except in unusual circumstances or
for other public policy considerations the equipment building may be
located no more than two hundred fifty feet (250') from the tower or
antenna. Depending upon the aesthetics and other issues, the city, in its
sole discretion, may approve multiple equipment structures or one or more
larger structures.
b. Ground level buildings shall be screened from view by landscape
plantings, fencing, or other appropriate means, as specified herein or in
other city ordinances, code sections or regulations.
c. Equipment buildings mounted on a roof shall have a finish similar to the
exterior building walls. Equipment for roof mounted antennas may also be
located within the building on which the antenna is mounted.
d. In instances where equipment buildings are located in residential zones,
equipment buildings shall comply with setback requirements and shall be
designed so as to conform in appearance with nearby residential structures.
e. Equipment buildings, antenna, and related equipment shall occupy no
more than twenty five percent (25%) of the total roof area of the building
the facility is mounted on, which may vary in the city's sole discretion if
collocation and an adequate screening structure is used.
f. The use must be approved on a site plan or final development plan, as
applicable.
7. Federal Requirements: All towers must meet or exceed current standards and
regulations of the FAA, the FCC, and any other agency of the federal government
with the authority to regulate towers and antennas. If those standards and
regulations are changed, then personal wireless service providers governed by this
Ordinance - Page 15
chubbuck101612. ord w bldg code amend.wpd
chapter shall bring their towers and antennas into compliance with the revised
standards and regulations within three (3) months of their effective date or the
time lines provided by the revised standards and regulations, whichever time
period is longer. The revised standards and regulations are not retroactively
applicable to existing providers, unless otherwise provided or permitted by federal
law. Failure to bring towers and antennas into compliance with the revised
standards and regulations shall constitute grounds for the city to remove a
provider's facilities at the provider's expense.
8. Building Codes; Safety Standards: To ensure the structural integrity of towers,
the owner of a tower shall ensure that it is maintained in compliance with
standards contained in applicable city building codes and the applicable standards
for towers that are published by the electronic industries association ("EIA"), as
amended from time to time. If, upon inspection, the city concludes that a tower
fails to comply with such codes and standards and constitutes a danger to persons
or property, then upon notice being provided to the owner of the tower, the owner
shall have thirty (30) days to bring the tower into compliance with such standards.
If the owner fails to bring its tower into compliance within thirty (30) days, the
city may remove the tower at the owner's expense. If the structure is determined
by the city to pose an imminent danger to the public, the city shall be entitled to
abate the danger through the processes and according to the timetables of the
uniform International building code and the 1997 Uniform Code for the
Abatement of Dangerous Buildings.
9. Structural Design: Towers shall be constructed to the EIA standards, which may
be amended from time to time, and to all applicable construction/building codes.
Further, any improvements or additions to existing towers shall require
submission of site plans stamped by a professional engineer which demonstrate
compliance with the EIA standards and all other good industry practices. The
plans shall be submitted and reviewed at the time building permits are requested.
The antenna and its support structure shall be designed to withstand a wind force
of one hundred (100) miles per hour without the use of supporting guywires.
10. Antenna Support Structure Safety: The applicant shall demonstrate that the
proposed antenna and support structure is safe and the surrounding areas will not
be negatively affected by support structure failure, falling ice, or other debris or
interference. All support structures shall be fitted with anticlimbing devices, as
approved by the manufacturers.
11. Fencing: A well constructed masonry or rock wall, or wooden fence not less
than six feet (6) in height from the finished grade shall be provided around each
personal wireless service facility. Access to the tower shall be through a locked
gate, and there shall be a kKnox box at any such gates. The use of chainlink,
plastic, vinyl, or wire fencing is prohibited unless it is fully screened from public
view by a minimum eight foot (8) wide landscaping strip. All landscaping shall
meet the standards of this code.
12. Tower And Antenna Height: The applicant shall demonstrate that the tower
and antenna is the minimum height required to function satisfactorily; provided
additional height beyond the minimum may be allowed if necessary to
accommodate collocation. No tower or antenna that is taller than this minimum
height shall be approved unless necessary to accommodate collocation. No tower
or mount shall exceed one hundred feet (100') in any park, industrial zone or
commercial zone. Towers in residential areas are not allowed unless integrated
with another structure.
Ordinance - Page 16
chubbuck101612. ord w bldg code amend.wpd
A variance from the height limit may be granted if the applicant can show by clear
and convincing evidence that the additional height is necessary to provide
adequate service to the residents of the city and no other alternative is available.
13. Required Parking: If the cell site is fully automated, adequate paved parking
shall be required for maintenance workers. If the site is not automated,
arrangements for adequate off street parking shall be made and documentation
thereof provided to the city.
14. Tower Separation: In no case shall towers be located closer than five hundred
feet (500') from another tower whether it is owned or utilized by applicant or
another provider, unless the city designates areas where multiple towers can be
located in closer proximity.
15. Antenna Criteria: Antennas on or above a structure shall be subject to the
following:
a. The antenna shall be as architecturally compatible as reasonably
possible, with the building and wall on which it is mounted, and shall be
designed and located so as to minimize any adverse aesthetic impact.
b. The antenna shall be mounted on a wall of an existing building in a
configuration as flush to the wall as technically possible and shall not
project above the wall on which it is mounted unless it must be for
technical reasons. In no event shall an antenna project more than sixteen
feet (16) above the roofline including parapets.
c. The antenna shall be constructed, painted, or fully screened to match as
closely as possible the color and texture of the building and wall on which
it is mounted.
d. The antenna may be attached to an existing conforming mechanical
equipment enclosure which projects above the roof of the building, but
may not project any higher than the enclosure.
e. If an accessory equipment shelter is present, it must blend with the
surrounding buildings in architectural character and color.
f. The structure must be architecturally and visually (color, size, bulk)
compatible with surrounding existing buildings, structures, vegetation, and
uses. Such facilities will be considered architecturally and visually
compatible if they are camouflaged to disguise the facility.
g. Site location and development shall preserve the preexisting character
of the site as much as possible. Existing vegetation should be preserved or
improved, and disturbance of the existing topography of the site should be
minimized, unless such disturbance would result in less visual impact of
the site on the surrounding area. The effectiveness of visual mitigation
techniques shall be evaluated by the city, in the city's sole discretion.
h. In addition to the other requirements of this chapter, on buildings thirty
feet (30') or less in height, the antenna may be mounted on the roof if the
following additional criteria are satisfied:
(1) The city finds that it is not technically possible or aesthetically
Ordinance - Page 17
chubbuck101612. ord w bldg code amend.wpd
desirable to mount the antenna on a wall.
(2) No portion of the antenna or base station causes the height of
the building to exceed the limitations set forth herein.
(3) The antenna or antennas and related base stations cover no
more than an aggregate total of twenty five percent (25%) of the
roof area of a building, which may vary in the city's sole discretion,
if collocating and an adequate screening structure is used.
(4) Roof mounted antenna and related base stations are completely
screened from view by materials that are consistent and compatible
with the design, color, and materials of the building.
(5) No portion of the antenna may exceed sixteen feet (16') above
the height of the existing building.
i. If a proposed antenna is located on a building or a lot subject to a site
review, approval is required prior to the issuance of a building permit.
j. No antenna shall be permitted on property designated as an individual
landmark or as a part of a historic district, unless such antenna has been
approved in accordance with city ordinances and regulations.
k. No personal wireless service provider or lessee or agent thereof shall
fail to cooperate in good faith to accommodate collocation with
competitors. If a dispute arises about the feasibility of collocating, the city
may require a third party technical study, at the expense of either or both
parties, to resolve the dispute.
1. No personal wireless service provider or lessee shall fail to assure that its
antenna complies at all times with the current applicable FCC standards.
After installation, but prior to putting the antenna service, each provider
shall submit a certification by an independent professional engineer to that
effect. In the event that an antenna is collocated with another antenna, the
certification must provide assurances that FCC approved levels of
electromagnetic radiation will not be exceeded by the collocation.
in. Antennas shall comply with FCC regulations to minimize interference
with the reception of any other communications signals including public
safety, television, and radio broadcast signals.
n. No person shall locate an antenna or tower for wireless communications
services upon any lot or parcel except as provided in this chapter.
18.32.050: CONDITIONAL OCCUPANCY PERMIT:

Dear Rich:
Enclosed is a rather long ordinance that updates the municipal code references to the
International Building Code and some other minor clean up provisions. I'm copying this to Steve
Smart, Ray Griffin and Paul Andrus so they can also review it.
Because we are making some amendments to Title 18, this will need to be reviewed by
land use at the December meeting and be subject to a public hearing before it is adopted at both
the land use and City Council levels.
If possible, we might put it on as a discussion item on the November land use agenda so
we can have a public hearing in December if there is sufficient time.
Sincerely,
J.
