T. Wireless Telecommunication Facility (WTF)
1. Purpose
The purpose of this section is to establish regulations pertaining to
wireless telecommunications facilities that are consistent with federal and
state law. The City Council of the City of College Station finds that:
a. It is in the public interest to promote competition in high quality
telecommunications services and the availability of broadband
transmission services to all residences and business;
b. It is in the public interest for the City to protect the public safety and
welfare, safeguard community land values, promote orderly planning
and development and preserve historic sites, structures and areas.
Wireless telecommunications facilities should not be allowed to detract
aesthetically from the visual quality of surrounding properties or the
City; and
c. The proliferation of wireless telecommunications facilities negatively
impacts the appearance, character, and property values of the
community. Therefore the City should endeavor to minimize the size,
number and obtrusiveness of antennas and towers. Collocation and
stealth technologies are strongly encouraged to mitigate negative
visual impacts and reduce the total number of towers within the City.
2. WTF Categories
In order to expedite the siting and review process, WTFs have been
divided into use categories. The review process is more thorough as the
intensity of the use increases.
a. Unregulated Facilities
The WTFs listed below are not regulated by this ordinance and do not
require review or approval. This does not exempt these facilities from
other applicable city codes, ordinances, and permits.
(1) Over the air reception devices exempted from local ordinances by
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
(2) Parabolic antenna less than 2 meters in diameter.
