Recommendation
Permission to advertise an ordinance amending the Brevard County Code of Ordinances, Chapter 62, Article VI, Zoning Regulations, at Division 7 in order to amend the general development standards for setbacks for wireless telecommunications facilities.
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
Chapter 62, Article VI, Zoning Regulations at Division 7 of the Brevard County Code of Ordinances regulates the placement of wireless telecommunications facilities. The current definition of wireless telecommunications facilities contained in Section 62-2403 does not address new technology as that of small wireless facilities. The proposed legislation amends the current definition of wireless telecommunications facilities to incorporate the definition of small wireless facilities as defined in state law. Furthermore, the proposed legislation proposes to amend Section 62-2422 in order to provide setback requirements for the placement of wireless telecommunications facilities to residential structures, child care facilities, and public and non-public schools. Finally, the proposed amendment includes a new Section 62-2425 which prohibits commercial wireless providers from installing wireless telecommunication facilities in residential zoning classifications.
