<br /> Ordinance , Exhibit D: Amended Article 16 <br />Note: underlined and bolded text represents new text; strike through represents text to be eliminated <br />those modifications to conforming wireless telecommunications facilities that <br />meet the performance standards set forth in these regulations. <br />14. “Monopole” shall mean a single, freestanding pole, treepole, flagpole, post, tower <br />or alternative tower structure over fifteen (15) feet in height that is used to sup- <br />port equipment associated with a wireless telecommunications facility. <br /> <br />15. “Pre-existing wireless telecommunications facility” shall mean any wireless tele- <br />communications facility for which a permit has been properly issued prior to the <br />effective date of this Section and shall not be required to meet the requirements <br />of this Section, other than the requirements of Subsection C.4. Any such facility <br />shall be referred to in this Section as “pre-existing wireless telecommunications <br />facility.” <br /> <br />16. “Substantial modification” shall mean substantially changing the physical dimen- <br />sions of a tower or base station on an existing wireless telecommunications facili- <br />ty, such that it meets one or more of the following criteria: <br /> <br />a. Height. Increases the existing vertical height by more than ten percent (10%) <br />for towers other than towers in the public right-of-way or by the height of one <br />additional antenna array with separation from the nearest existing antenna <br />not to exceed twenty (20) feet, whichever is greater, except that the mount- <br />ing of the proposed antenna may exceed the size limits set forth in this par- <br />agraph if necessary to avoid interference with existing antennas. <br /> <br />For other, eligible support structures, it increases the height of the structure <br />by more than ten percent (10%) or more than ten (10) feet, whichever is <br />greater. <br /> <br />b. Width. Involves adding an appurtenance to the silhouette of a tower for tow- <br />ers other than towers in the public right-of-way that would protrude horizon- <br />tally from the edge of the tower more than twenty (20) feet, or more than the <br />width of the tower structure at the level of the appurtenance, whichever is <br />greater, as seen from an elevation perspective, except that the mounting of <br />the proposed antenna may exceed the size limits set forth in this paragraph <br />if necessary to shelter the antenna from inclement weather or to connect the <br />antenna to the tower via cable. <br /> <br />For other, eligible support structures, it involves adding an appurtenance to <br />the body of the structure that would protrude from the edge of the structure <br />by more than six (6) feet. <br /> <br />c. Equipment Cabinets. Involves the installation of more than the standard <br />number of new equipment cabinets necessary for the technology involved, <br />not to exceed four cabinets; or for towers and base stations in the public
