§ 206-1
Use Classification
Chapter 200. Zoning and Land Use Article 6. Use Provisions Use Classification General No land, building, or structure may be used except in accordance with this section and for a purpose permitted in the zoning district in which it is located.
Classification of Uses Principal Uses
1.In order to regulate a variety of similar uses, use categories have been established for principal uses. Use categories provide a systematic basis for assigning uses to appropriate categories with other, similar uses. Use categories classify principal uses and activities based on common functional, product or physical characteristics.
2.Where a use category contains a list of included uses, the list is to be considered example uses, and not all-inclusive. The Director has the responsibility for categorizing all uses.
3.The allowed use table in Sec. 206-2. establishes permitted uses by zoning district.
4.Permitted uses shall be further restricted as specified in the FH Flood Hazard District.
5.Use definitions and use standards for uses are specified in Sec. 206-3 Residential Uses through Sec. 206-6 Industrial Uses Accessory Uses
1.An accessory use is any use that is subordinate in both purpose and size, incidental to and customarily associated with a permitted principal use located on the same lot.
2.The allowed use table in Sec. 206-2 establishes permitted accessory uses by district, except as further restricted as specified in the FH Flood Hazard District. Use definitions and use standards for accessory uses are specified in Sec. 206-8.
Temporary Uses
1.A temporary use is a use that is in place for a limited period of time only.
2.Temporary uses are allowed in the zoning districts specified in Sec. 206-9.
Principal Uses Not Listed A principal use not specifically listed is prohibited unless the Director determines the use to be part of a use category as described below.
The Director is responsible for categorizing all principal uses. If a proposed use is not listed but is similar to a listed use, the Director may consider the proposed use part of that use category.
When determining whether a proposed use is similar to a listed use, the Director must consider the following criteria:
1.The actual or projected characteristics of the proposed use;
2.The relative amount of site area or floor area and equipment devoted to the proposed use;
3.Relative amounts of sales;
4.The customer type;
5.The relative number of employees;
6.Hours of operation;
7.Building and site arrangement;
8.Types of vehicles used and their parking requirements;
9.The number of vehicle trips generated;
10.How the proposed use is advertised;
11.The likely impact on surrounding properties; and
12.Whether the activity is likely to be found independent of the other activities on the site.
Where a use not listed is found by the Director not to be similar to any other permitted use, the use is only permitted following a text amendment to the UDO See Sec. 103-9. .
Accessory Uses Not Listed An accessory use not specifically listed is prohibited unless the Director determines the accessory use:
Is clearly incidental to and customarily found in connection with an allowed principal use;
Is subordinate to and serving an allowed principal use;
Is subordinate in area, extent, and purpose to the principal use served;
Contributes to the comfort, convenience or needs of occupants, business or industry in the principal use served; and Is located on the same lot as the principal use served.
Use Table Key Permitted Use P . Indicates a use is permitted in the respective district. The use is also subject to all other applicable requirements of this UDO.
Limited Use L . Indicates a use is permitted in the respective district, subject to a use standard found in the right-hand column of the use table. The use is also subject to all other applicable requirements of this UDO.
Special Use S . Indicates a use may be permitted in the respective district only where approved by the City Council in accordance with Sec. 103-10. Special uses are subject to all other applicable requirements of this UDO, including any applicable use standards, except where the use standards are expressly modified by the City Council as part of the special use permit approval.
Use Not Permitted. A “--“ in a cell indicates that a use is not permitted in the respective district.

Telecommunications Antenna and Tower
1.Purpose and intent The purpose of these regulations is to establish general guidelines for the siting of telecommunication towers and antennas. The goals of these regulations are to:
a.Encourage the location of towers in nonresidential areas and minimize the total number of towers throughout the community;
b.Encourage collocation of new antenna arrays onto existing towers, if possible;
c.Encourage users of towers and antennas to locate them, to the extent possible, in areas where the adverse impact on the community is minimal;
d.Encourage users of towers and antennas to configure them in a way that minimizes the adverse visual impact of the towers and antennas; and
e.Enhance the ability of the providers of telecommunications services to provide such services to the community quickly, effectively, and efficiently.
2.Applicability
a.District height limitations. Except as set forth in sentence c below Amateur radio;
receive-only antennas , this paragraph D Telecommunications Antennas and Towers governs the location of towers that exceed, and antennas that are installed at a height in excess of, the height limitations specified for each zoning district in which towers and antennas are permitted.
b.Governmental exception. This paragraph D Telecommunications Antennas and Towers does not apply to governmental facilities and structures. Private facilities and structures may be permitted on City-owned property with the recommendation of the City Manager and approval of the City Council with no special use permit required.
c.Amateur radio; receive-only antennas. This paragraph D Telecommunications Antennas and Towers does not govern any tower, or the installation of any antenna, that is under 75 feet in height and is owned and operated by a federally licensed amateur radio station operator or is used exclusively as a receiver-only antenna. Amateur radio towers 75 or more feet in height may be located in any zoning district by special use permit.
d.Grandfathered towers and antennas. Any tower or antenna existing before January 1, 2008, is not required to meet the requirements of this paragraph D Telecommunications Antennas and Towers , other than the requirements of clause 4 below Federal requirements and clause 5 below Building codes; safety standards . Any such existing towers or antennas that fail to meet the requirements of this paragraph D Telecommunications Antennas and Towers is referred to in this paragraph as grandfathered towers or grandfathered antennas. The nonconforming use provisions of this UDO apply to grandfathered towers and grandfathered antennas.
3.General Requirements
a.Principal or accessory use. Antennas and towers may be considered either principal or accessory uses. A different existing use or an existing structure on the same lot does not preclude the installation of an antenna or tower on such a lot. For purposes of determining whether the installation of a tower or antenna complies with district development regulations, including but not limited to, setback requirements, lot coverage requirements, and other such requirements, the dimensions of the entire lot will control, even though the antennas or towers may be located on leased areas within such lots.
Towers that are constructed, and antennas that are installed, in accordance with this paragraph D Telecommunications Antennas and Towers , will not be deemed to constitute the expansion of a nonconforming use or structure.
b.Inventory of existing sites. Each applicant for an antenna and or tower, except for amateur radio towers in excess of 75 feet, must provide to the Director an inventory of its existing towers that are within the city and within 3 miles of it, including specific information about the location, height, and design of each tower. The Director may share such information with other applicants for special use permits under this paragraph D Telecommunications Antennas and Towers or other organizations seeking to locate antennas within the city; provided, however, that the Director is not, by sharing such information, in any way representing or warranting that such sites are available or suitable.
c.Aesthetics; lighting. The following guidelines govern the location of all towers, and the installation of all antennas, governed by this paragraph D Telecommunications Antennas and Towers ; provided, however, that the City may waive these requirements if it determines that the goals of this paragraph are better served thereby.
i.Towers must either maintain a galvanized steel finish or, subject to any applicable standards of the FAA, be painted a neutral color, so as to reduce visual obtrusiveness.
ii.At a tower site, the design of the buildings and related structures must, to the extent possible, use materials, colors, textures, screening, and landscaping that will blend the tower facilities to the natural setting and built environment.
iii.If an antenna is installed on a structure other than a tower, the antenna and supporting electrical and mechanical equipment must be of a neutral color that is identical to, or closely compatible with, the color of the supporting structure to make the antenna and related equipment as visually unobtrusive as possible.
iv.Towers may not be artificially lighted unless required by the FAA or other applicable authority. If lighting is required, the City may review the available lighting alternatives and approve the design that would cause the least disturbance to the surrounding views.
4.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 such standards and regulations are changed, then the owners of the towers and antennas governed by this paragraph D Telecommunications Antennas and Towers must bring such towers and antennas into compliance with such revised standards and regulations within 6 months of the effective date of such standards and regulations, unless a more stringent compliance schedule is mandated by the controlling federal agency. Failure to bring towers and antennas into compliance with such revised standards and regulations will constitute grounds for the removal of the tower or antenna at the owner's expense. Any such removal by the City must be in the manner provided in O.C.G.A. §§ 41-2-8—41-2-17.
A review and final decision for new towers must be completed with 150 days of the application date. A 30-day completeness review is allowed and tolls the final decision deadline.
5.Building Codes; Safety Standards To ensure the structural integrity of towers, the owner of a tower must ensure that it is maintained in compliance with standards contained in applicable local building codes and the applicable standards for towers that are published by the Electronic Industries Association, 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 has 30 days to bring such tower into compliance with such standards. If the owner fails to bring such tower into compliance within said 30 days, the City may remove such tower at the owner's expense. Any such removal by the City must be in the manner provided in O.C.G.A. §§ 41-2-8—41-2-17.
6.Security Fencing Towers must be enclosed by an opaque security fencing not less than 8 feet in height and must be equipped with an appropriate anti-climbing device; provided, however, that the City may waive such requirements, as it deems appropriate.
7.Landscaping The following guidelines govern the landscaping surrounding towers for which a special use permit is required; provided, however, that the City may waive such requirements if the goals of this paragraph D Telecommunications Antennas and Towers would be better served thereby.
a.Tower facilities must be landscaped with a buffer of evergreen plant materials that effectively screens the view of the tower compound from adjacent residential property.
i.A minimum 5 feet wide buffer is required outside the perimeter of the compound.
ii.The buffer and all landscaping must be planted per Sec. 207-3 Landscaping .
b.Existing mature tree growth and natural landforms on the site must be preserved to the maximum extent possible. In some cases, such as towers sited on large, wooded lots, natural growth around the property perimeter may be sufficient buffer.
8.Administrative approvals The Director may administratively approve the installation of an antenna on any existing tower whether or not the structure or tower is grandfathered, so long as the additional structure does not make a “substantial change” to the tower or base station as defined by the FCC. A “substantial change” per FCC regulations occurs when the proposed change:
a.Adds more than 10% of the tower height or 20 feet to the height of the existing tower or structure, whichever is greater;
b.Extends outward more than 20 feet from the existing tower;
c.Involves installation of more than the standard number of cabinets, not to exceed four;
d.Involves excavation outside the current lease area;
e.Defeats existing facility concealment elements; or
f.Violates conditions of approval, provide such conditions do not contradict the “substantial change” thresholds.
This administrative approval process may include any related equipment structures.
9.Special Use Permit Standards When this UDO requires a special use permit for a telecommunication antenna and tower, it is subject to the following
a.In granting a special use permit, the City Council may impose conditions to the extent necessary to minimize any adverse effect of the proposed tower on adjoining properties.
b.Any information of an engineering nature submitted by the applicant, whether civil, mechanical, or electrical, must be certified by a licensed professional engineer.
c.Information required. Each applicant requesting a special use permit must submit a scaled site plan, scaled elevation view and other supporting drawings, calculations, and/or other documentation, signed and sealed by licensed professional engineers, showing the location and dimensions of all improvements, including information concerning topography, radio frequency coverage, tower height requirements, setbacks, drives, parking, fencing, landscaping, adjacent uses, and other information deemed by the City to be necessary to assess compliance with these requirements.
d.Factors considered in granting special use permits. The City Council must consider the following factors in determining whether to issue a special use permit, although the City may waive or reduce the burden on the applicant of these criteria, if the City, concludes that the goals of this paragraph D are better served thereby.
i.Height of the proposed tower.
ii.Proximity of the tower to residential structures and residential district boundaries.
iii.Nature of uses on adjacent and nearby properties.
iv.Surrounding topography.
v.Surrounding tree coverage and foliage.
vi.Design of the tower, with particular reference to design characteristics that have the effect of reducing or eliminating visual obtrusiveness.
vii.Availability of suitable existing towers and other structures per sentence e below.
e.Availability of suitable existing towers or other structures. No new tower may be permitted unless the applicant demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the City that no existing tower or structure can accommodate the applicant's proposed antenna.
Evidence submitted to demonstrate that no existing tower or structure can accommodate the applicant's proposed antenna may consist of any of the following:
i.No existing towers or structures are located within the geographic area required to meet the applicant's engineering requirements.
ii.Existing towers or structures are not of sufficient height to meet the applicant's engineering requirements.
iii.Existing towers or structures do not have sufficient structural strength to support the applicant's proposed antenna and related equipment.
iv.The fees, or costs, or contractual provisions required by the owner in order to share an existing tower or structure or to adapt an existing tower or structure for sharing are unreasonable. Costs exceeding new tower development are presumed unreasonable.
v.The applicant demonstrates that there are other limiting factors that render existing towers and structures unsuitable.
f.Setbacks and separation. The following setbacks and separation requirements apply to all towers and antennas for which a special use permit is required.
i.Towers must be set back at least 125% of the total height of the tower from the lot line of a residential zoning district.
ii.Towers, guys, and accessory facilities must satisfy the minimum zoning district setback requirements.
iii.In zoning districts other than light manufacturing LM , towers over 90 feet in height may not be located within 0.25 mile from any existing tower that is over 90 feet high.
10.Removal of abandoned antennas and towers Any antenna or tower that ceases to operate for a period of 12 months is considered abandoned, and the owner of such antenna or tower must remove the same within 90 days of receipt of notice from the City notifying the owner of such abandonment. If such antenna or tower is not removed within said 90 days, the governing authority may, in the manner provided in O.C.G.A. §§ 41-2-8—41-2-17, remove such antenna or tower at the owner's expense. If there are two or more users of a single tower, then this provision does not become effective until all users cease using the tower.
