2 <br /> • Questions concerning the height limit below which Special Use Permit <br /> approval would not be required. (It was the intent to allow staff approval <br /> for towers shorter than 75 feet. Although there have not been requests for <br /> these shorter towers as of this time, it is anticipated that in the future, the <br /> height of towers will decrease while their numbers will increase.) <br /> The Board of Commissioners continued the discussion to a subsequent meeting <br /> in order to receive clarification regarding the Permitted Use Table and tower <br /> height. A copy of the proposed Permitted Use Table is attached. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends approval of the proposed amendment <br /> with the following revisions: <br /> 1. Revise the Permitted Use Table and Article 6.18 to specify that <br /> stealth towers 75 feet or shorter are permitted by right in certain <br /> zoning districts (see attached Permitted Use Table) provided that <br /> provisions of Article 6.18 are met.. Article 6.18 requires that the <br /> tower be adequately disguised to minimize visual impact. <br /> 2. Insert the following as 8.8.17a.1i) Additional Information: <br /> The Special Use Permit application shall include a statement that <br /> the facility and its equipment will comply with all federal, state <br /> and local emission requirements. <br /> 3. Insert the following as 8.8.17a.2n) Standards of Evaluation <br /> and change previous n)to o): <br /> A determination shall be made that the facility and its equipment <br /> will comply with all federal, state and local emission <br /> requirements, and the Special Use Permit shall include a <br /> statement that the facility and its equipment will comply with all <br /> federal, state and local emission requirements <br />
