b. Compliance with Telecommunications Act. See § 11-1-4.04A.20.b for detailed information.
c. Design Standards.

Stealth Design.

(a) Stealth means any telecommunications tower or telecommunications facility which is designed to enhance compatibility with adjacent land uses, including, but not limited to, architecturally screening the same color scheme, antennas integrated into architectural elements, and towers designed to look other than like a tower, such as light poles, power poles, and trees. The term stealth does not necessarily exclude the use of uncamouflaged lattice, guyed, or monopole tower designs.

(b) The installation of Wireless Communication Systems utilizing a stealth tower to camouflage an antenna support structure, such as a clock tower, flagpole or tree is recommended in all zone districts, and is required in residential zones. In addition, stealth design may include utilizing church steeples, bell towers, and other internal structures.

(c) Concealed Wireless Communication Facilities (WCF).
Concealed WCF are permitted in all zoning districts and are not regulated by these provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. Other Concealed WCF are permitted in all zoning districts, subject to the following standards:

(i) Public/quasi-public spaces—Concealed WCF are permitted on residentially zoned property that are designated or used for public or quasi-public spaces such as, but not limited to, schools, churches, or golf courses, subject to obtaining a proper permit(s) pursuant to the provisions contained in the Zoning Ordinance.

(a) Tower illumination—Towers shall not be illuminated except as required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or other applicable federal or state agencies.

(b) Radiation Standards—Wireless Communication Systems shall comply with current Federal Communications Commission (FCC) standards for non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation (NIER). The applicant shall submit verification that the proposed site plan ensures compliance with these standards.

(c) Fencing for Wireless Communication Systems—A fence shall be required around the antenna support structure and other equipment, unless the antenna is mounted on a building or other independent support structure. The fence shall not be less than eight feet in height measured from finished grade. Access to the antenna support structure shall be through a locked gate.

(d) Landscaping for Wireless Communication Systems Requiring a Specific Use Designation—Landscaping shall be required to screen as much of the antenna support structure as possible, the fence surrounding the antenna support structure, and any other ground level features, such as a building). A combination of existing/native vegetation, natural topography, manmade features such as berms, walls, decorative fences and any other features can be used instead of landscaping if those features achieve the same degree of screening as the required landscaping. Landscaping shall be exempt for Wireless Communication Systems in the permitted use zones.

(e) Setbacks for Wireless Communication Systems—Antenna support structures and unmanned equipment buildings shall meet the minimum building setback requirements per § 11-1-4.04A.20.c.i.(a).

(f) Abandonment—In the event the use of any Wireless Communication Systems, which would include the antenna support structure, has been discontinued for a period of 180 consecutive days, the antenna support structure shall be deemed abandoned. Determination of the date of abandonment shall be made by the Building Official, who shall have the right to request documentation and/or affidavits from the antenna support structure owner/operator regarding the issue of usage. Upon determination of abandonment, the owner/operator of the antenna support structure shall remove the antenna support structure within 90 days of receipt of notice from the Building Official notifying the owner/operator of such abandonment. If such antenna support structure is not removed within said 90 days, the Building Official may cause such antenna support structure to be removed at the owner's expense. If there are two or more users of an antenna support structure, then this provision shall not become effective until all users cease using the antenna support structure.

d. Wireless Communication Systems shall be a use permitted by right in all zoning districts if the land or structure is owned by the City of Midland.

i. All antenna support structures or buildings or other independent support structures where antennas are proposed to be attached shall require a building permit. Antenna support structures located in residential zoning districts shall be monopole design. The height of a monopole antenna support structure, including the antenna, shall not exceed 150 feet. Wireless Communication Systems shall not be allowed in city parks which contain five acres or less.

ii. Antenna support structures shall be spaced from all residential zoning districts a minimum of 200 feet, measured from the base of the antenna support structure to the nearest residential zoning districts, except for antenna support structures located on land owned by the City of Midland within residential zoning districts. This spacing requirement does not apply to antennas attached to the buildings or independent support structures.

iii. The antenna array may be attached to buildings or independent support structures if:

(a) The pole replaced or modified is a functioning utility pole or light standard within a utility easement or public right-of-way, recreation facility light pole, or antenna support structure; and

(b) The replaced or modified antenna support structure, including antenna array, does not exceed the height of the original utility, light standard, or recreation facility pole by more than 12 feet, or the height of the original telecommunication tower and antenna array; and

(c) The pole replaced with an antenna support structure does not obstruct a public sidewalk, public alley, or other right-of-way, and pole appearance and function, except for the antenna, are not significantly altered; and
