Minor Use Permit be obtained for those wireless communication facilities proposed to be
located outside of a residential area and less than 35 feet in height. All facilities proposed
to be 35 feet in height and taller, must receive approval of a Conditional Use Permit.
This ordinance exempts wireless communication facilities that have received approval from
