commercial and professional uses and the residential uses within the same neighborhood. Such a
designation is appropriate where commercial activities are to be provided in the midst of a
neighborhood for the benefit of the residents thereof. Such benefits may include convenience,
energy conservation or related factors. Such a designation may properly apply to a limited area
located in a convenient place relative to the circulation pattern for both vehicles and pedestrians

C. The city building official in reviewing an application for a building permit, and the design
review committee, in reviewing an application for design review clearance, may determine that a

determination, the city building official and design review committee shall rely upon the criteria
and standards set forth in subsection 18.28.040C of this title. If a conditional use permit is

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.
I 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.
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.
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 mottiftains west and sotith of thc-citr.
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.
ORDINANCE - Page 21.
chubbuck 050516 ord title l8mpd
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.
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 stricture is used.
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
chapter shall bring their towers and antennas into compliance with the revised
ORDINANCE - Paoe 22.
chubbuck 050516 ord title 18.wpd
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
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 antictimbing devices, as
approved by the manufacturers.

camouflaged to disguise the facility.
9. 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 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.

less than 9 feet.
2. Corner Lot: On a corner lot, regardless of the facing or configuration of the principal
structure, there shall be a yard on one side that is at least the amount of the minimum front yard
setback set forth in subsection B I of this section, and the other side on the corner shall be not
more than five feet (5) less than the setback set forth in subsection B I of this section. If a garage
or carport opens into the smaller of the two (2) setbacks, the garage shall set back the same
distance as the required front yard setback on the adjacent corner.
3. Setbacks: Setbacks for a zero lot line residence or a single-family residence in an R -

except the minimum total yard width and the minimum lot area per household dwelling may be a
minimum of seventy five percent (75%) of that required for a household dwelling in that district.
Additionally, one side yard setback may be zero and the other side yard setback may be a
minimum of ten feet (10'). Two (2) zero lot line residences must be simultaneously constructed to

parking. In reviewing this conditional use pen -nit, in addition to the requirements set forth in
section 18.28.040 of this title, the following factors shall be considered:
a. Whether the uses of the property and the suggested number of parking places by
the applicant will be compatible as to type of use or hours of use resulting in an
actual reduction in the number of parking spaces needed.
b. Whether the reduced number of parking spaces is offset by other desirable
amenities such as increased landscaping or common area or reduced need for on
site storm water retention due to decreased hard surface parking area.
C. Such other factors as applicant or the reviewing body may deem appropriate given
the proposed use of the land and location of the land with respect to other
development.
