B. Applicability. This Section applies to every dish antenna installed or modified on or after the effective date hereof and to every dish antenna existing as of the effective date hereof, which was installed or modified without plans and a Building Permit approved by the City. No satellite television antenna shall be erected, constructed, maintained, or operated except in compliance with the standards established in this Section.

C. Plans and Permit. No dish antenna shall be installed or modified except in compliance with the application, conditions of approval, and a Building Permit approved by the City. In addition to complying with structural and electrical requirements of this Section, the plans filed with the Building Permit shall include a site plan showing all dish antenna and site specific information and details necessary for the City to determine compliance with all applicable standards of this Section. Additional supplemental information may be required if a Variance or Conditional Use Permit is needed.

D. Allowed Locations; Exception Procedures and Limitations. If a usable satellite signal cannot be obtained by locating the antenna in the back half of any parcel in the single-unit residential zone district, the antenna may be located in the side or front area of the property, provided that a Director's Determination is made prior to such installation. In requesting a variance, the applicant must show that a usable satellite signal is not obtainable from the rear yard location on the property and that the construction and erection otherwise comply with City building and electrical regulations.

E. Certain parcels of land in the City may not be able to accommodate satellite dish antennas because of existing site conditions and adverse effects on the surrounding neighborhoods. In such instances the Community Development Director may withhold approval to construct, install and/or maintain a satellite dish antenna, unless conditions and/or equipment would change to reverse the ruling of the Director.

F. General Standards Applicable to All Dish Antennas. Every dish antenna shall be installed, modified, and maintained in compliance with this Section and the following standards:

1. All satellite dish antennas located in residential districts shall be located to minimize the visual impact on surrounding properties and from public rights-of-way and adjacent properties by use of screens, fences, and/or landscaping without impeding the efficiency of the dish.

2. No satellite dish antenna shall occupy or interfere with access to any required parking space or driveway.

3. All satellite dish antennas shall be subject to front and side yard setback regulations, except in residential districts.

4. Satellite dish antennas shall not emit light or employ reflective materials.

5. Not more than one (1) satellite television antenna per parcel shall be allowed in any zone district with exceptions allowed by Director's Discretion.

6. Prior to installation of a satellite dish antenna, all appropriate permits must be obtained from the City.

7. The installation of all satellite dish antennas shall be in conformance with manufacturer's installation specifications and, in the absence of such specifications, the design of footings, anchorage and fasteners shall be completed by a California registered architect, civil or structural engineer, to meet the current California Building Code.

8. Antennas shall meet all manufacturer specifications, be of noncombustible and corrosive resistant material and be erected in a secure, wind resistant manner.

9. The electrical system shall be designed and installed in accordance with the current Electrical Code.

10. All electrical wiring associated with antennas shall be installed underground or hidden from view.

11. A satellite dish antenna shall be maintained in a safe and aesthetically acceptable condition for the duration of the time it exists on the property.

12. Every metal antenna must be adequately grounded for protection against a direct strike by lightning.

G. Satellite Antenna Requirements; Nonresidential. In commercial, industrial, open space, and other nonresidential zone districts:

1. Prior to installation of a satellite dish antenna, all appropriate permits and approvals shall be obtained from the City.

2. Antennas may be ground mounted, roof mounted, or aboveground pole mounted. Roof mounted and aboveground pole mounted antennas shall not exceed one hundred fifty feet (150').

3. Roof mounted antennas shall be located on a flat portion of the roof with parapets and/or an architecturally matching screening plan.

4. No advertising of any kind shall be allowed on satellite dish antennas. A manufacturer's identification label and/or any government required identification or safety labels may be affixed to the back side of the dish or to the structural supports of the antenna.

5. No more than one satellite dish antenna shall be installed at any commercial or industrial establishment whether or not sales of the antennas takes place, except that the Community Development Director may grant additional antennas if it is demonstrated that such additional antennas will meet the provisions and intent of this Section.

H. Satellite Antenna Requirements; Residential Districts. Prior to installation of a satellite dish antenna, all appropriate permits and approvals shall be obtained from the City. In residential districts or for residential uses in other zone districts.

1. All satellite dish antennas shall be located only in the back half of any parcel as ground mounted units only.

2. All satellite dish antennas shall not extend beyond the property lines of the parcel on which it is erected.
