SOUTHLAKE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
Consolidated Future Land Use Plan
The Future Land Use Plan designates portions of this property as
“Mixed Use” and “Industrial”. A portion of the property is also
designated as “100-Year Flood Plain”. The portion of the property in
which this addition is proposed is designated by the Southlake Future
Land Use Plan as Industrial.
Industrial land uses are defined as development that is relatively free
of unwanted side effects, such as unsightliness, noise, odor, glare,
vibrations, etc., is permitted in the Industrial category. If meeting the
qualification of relatively free of unwanted side effects, suitable types
of development in the Industrial category can be characterized by the
manufacturing, processing, packaging, assembly, storage,
warehousing and/or distribution of products.
Typically, the Mixed-Use designation is intended for medium- to
Case No.
ZA24-0006
Attachment A
Page 2
higher-intensity office buildings, hotels, commercial activities, retail
centers, and residential uses. Nuisance-free, wholly enclosed light
manufacturing and assembly uses that have no outdoor storage are
permitted if designed to be compatible with adjacent uses.
The Future Land Use Plan defines Industrial and business service
development that is relatively free of unwanted side effects, such as
unsightliness, noise, odor, glare, vibrations, etc., is permitted in the
Industrial category. If meeting the qualification of relatively free of
unwanted side effects, suitable types of development in the Industrial
category can be characterized by the manufacturing, processing,
packaging, assembly, storage, warehousing and/or distribution of
products. Ancillary commercial and retail activities associated with these
uses are permitted. Public Parks / Open Space and Public / Semi-Public
activities as described above may be permitted if surrounding industrial
uses do not pose hazards and are sufficiently buffered.
The Floodplain category illustrates areas designated by the August
1995 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) maps as being
in the 100-year floodplain. The “floodplain” is an expanse of natural
vegetation and wildlife and should be preserved as natural open area.
Within the floodplain is “floodway” that must be kept free of
encroachment in order that the 100-year flood may be carried without
harmful increases in the height of flood waters. Although it is not to be
encouraged, the portion of the floodplain not in the floodway may be
reclaimed for development under certain circumstances if in accordance
with FEMA regulations. The designated land use for areas of reclaimed
floodplain is that of the immediately adjacent land use category. This
designation may also include environmentally sensitive areas, habitats,
or wetlands that may not be in FEMA identified floodplains.
TRANSPORTATION
ASSESSMENT: Mobility & Master Thoroughfare Plan
Access to the site is through Mustang Court, which currently has a
single access point to SH 26.
Area Road and Network Conditions
Mustang Court is a local commercial road with two drive lanes and a
central turn lane. The road currently serves a mix of heavy and light
industrial uses. The proposed specific use permit does not affect any
existing roadway conditions.
TREE PRESERVATION: The proposed specific use permit does not affect any existing trees.
CITIZEN INPUT: Due to the limited scope of this request, this item was not presented at a
SPIN or Corridor Planning Committee meeting.

Section 45 Specific Use Permits for Telecommunications Towers, Antennas, and Ancillary
Buildings:
45.7 SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWERS, ANTENNAS, AND
ANCILLARY BUILDINGS (This entire section was added by Ordinance No. 480-W.)
a. Objectives
The purpose of this section is to establish general guidelines for the location of
telecommunications towers and antennas. The City of Southlake recognizes today’s rapidly
changing technological environment and realizes the public’s increasing acceptance of and
demand for superior personal wireless communication services and with the adoption of this
ordinance, the city’s objectives are to:
1) encourage the location of towers in non-residential areas and minimize the total number,
height, and obtrusiveness of towers and antennas throughout the community;
2) encourage strongly the joint use of new and existing tower sites through co-location;
3) encourage users of towers and antennas to locate them, to the extent possible, in areas
where the adverse impact on the community is minimal (e.g., pre-existing buildings or
structures such as water towers, church steeples, bell towers, clock towers, and lighting
stanchions or on municipal-owned properties and facilities) to camouflage or conceal the
presence of antennas or towers;
4) encourage users of towers and antennas to configure them in a way that minimizes the
adverse visual impact of the towers and antennas; and
5) enhance the ability of the providers of telecommunications services to provide such services
to the community quickly, effectively, and efficiently.
b. Information Required on Concept Plan
Case No. Attachment C
ZA24-0006 Page 2
Each applicant shall submit a scaled concept plan meeting the requirements of Section 41 of this
ordinance, a scaled elevation view, a propagation map, and other supporting drawings,
calculations, and other documentation, signed and sealed by appropriate licensed professionals,
showing the location and dimensions of all proposed improvements, including information
concerning topography, proposed tower height, setbacks, drives, parking, fencing, landscaping,
screening, adjacent uses, and other information deemed by the city to be necessary to assess
compliance with this ordinance.
c. Ordinance Exemption
Antennas mounted on existing city water towers shall be exempt from the requirements of this
ordinance, provided a license or lease authorizing such antenna has been approved by the City
Council. All other antennas or towers, located on property owned, leased, or otherwise controlled
by the City Council of the City of Southlake shall be subject to the requirements herein.
d. Development Standards
Certain regulations may be set aside if the requirement effectively denies competition.
1) Inventory of Existing Sites
Each applicant for an antenna and/or tower shall provide an inventory of its existing towers
that are either within the jurisdiction of the city or within one-quarter mile of the border,
including specific information about the location, height, and design of each tower. The city
may share such information with other applicants applying for approvals under this ordinance
or with other organizations seeking to locate antennas within the city jurisdiction, provided;
however, that the city is not, by sharing such information, in any way representing or
warranting that such sites are available or suitable.
2) Co-location and Availability of Suitable Existing Towers and Other Structures
a) No new tower shall be permitted unless the applicant demonstrates to 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 applicant’s engineering requirements.
ii) Existing towers or structures are not of sufficient height to meet applicant’s engineering
requirements.
iii) Existing towers or structures do not have sufficient structural strength to support
applicant’s proposed antenna and related equipment.
iv) The applicant’s proposed antenna would cause electromagnetic interference with the
antenna on the existing towers or structures, or the antenna on the existing towers or
structures would cause interference with the applicant’s proposed antenna.
v) The fees, 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 to be
unreasonable.
vi) The applicant demonstrates that there are other limiting factors that render existing
towers and structures unsuitable.
b) A telecommunication tower must be 1) used by two or more wireless telecommunications
providers; or 2) designed and built so as to be capable of use by two or more wireless
telecommunications providers and the owner of the antenna must certify to the City that
the tower is available for use by another wireless telecommunications provider on a
reasonable and non-discriminatory basis.
3) Aesthetics and Lighting:
Case No. Attachment C
ZA24-0006 Page 3
a) All towers shall be of monopole construction, unless another tower can be shown to cause
less visual impact on surrounding property than a similar monopole structure.
b) Towers shall be maintained with either a galvanized steel finish or, subject to any
applicable standards of the FAA, be painted a neutral color so as to reduce visual
obtrusiveness.
c) Highly reflective surfaces shall not be permitted. No glare shall be emitted to adjacent
properties.
d) All exterior wires and/or cables necessary for operation of the antenna shall be placed
underground, whenever practicable, except for wires or cables attached flush with the
surface of a building or the structure of the antenna.
e) No permanent lighting is allowed on towers except as required by the FCC or the FAA
(i.e., red lights by night/white strobe lighting during the day).
f) Any temporary lighting shall be oriented inward so as not to project onto surrounding
residential property.
4) Federal Requirements (FAA, FCC, ANSI)
a) All towers shall meet or exceed current standards and regulations of the FAA, the FCC,
and any other agency of the federal or state 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 ordinance shall bring such towers and antennas
into compliance with such revised standards and regulations within six (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 shall constitute
grounds for the removal of the tower or antenna at the owner’s expense.
b) Applicants shall provide the city with certification of compliance with ANSI and IEEE
Standards regarding human exposure to non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation (“NIER”).
c) For a site being proposed in a floodplain, the applicant shall provide the city with
certification from the FCC of Environmental Assessment (“EA”) approval.
d) For antennas, towers and/or supporting structures which are to be located in residential
neighborhoods and that are to be equipped with high intensity white lights, the applicant
shall provide the city with certification from the FCC of EA approval.
5) Building Codes; Safety Standards
a) After receiving the appropriate zoning approval, no tower, antenna, or other appurtenance
shall be installed without first obtaining a building permit issued by the Building Official.
b) To ensure the structural integrity of towers, the owner of a tower shall ensure that the
tower is constructed and maintained in compliance with standards contained in applicable
local building codes (“Uniform Building Codes, UBC”) and applicable standards for towers,
published by the Electronics Industries Association Standard 222, (“EIA-222") “Structural
Standards for Steel Antenna towers and Antenna Support Structures.”
c) A tower inspection report (based upon applicable UBC and EIA-222 standards) shall be
prepared by an engineer licensed in the state of Texas and filed with the Building Official
in accordance to the following schedule: a) monopoles--at least once every ten (10) years;
b) lattice towers--at least once every (5) years; and c) guyed towers--at least once every
three (3) years. However, the Building Official may require an immediate inspection
should an issue of safety be raised.
d) If, upon inspection, the 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 shall have thirty (30) days to bring such tower into compliance with
such standards, unless the applicant can demonstrate a hardship and thus establish the
need for additional time. If the owner fails to bring such tower into compliance within said
Case No. Attachment C
ZA24-0006 Page 4
thirty (30) days, the city shall remove such tower at the owner’s expense.
6) Height
The requirements set forth below shall govern the location of towers that exceed, and
antennas that are installed at a height in excess of, the height limitations specified for the
underlying zoning district in which the tower and/or antenna is proposed.
a) Mounted Antennas
i) Roof-mounted, non-whip type, telecommunications antennas shall not exceed the
height of the building by more than twelve (12) feet and may be required to be
screened from view from any adjacent public roadway.
ii) Roof-mounted, whip-type, telecommunications antennas shall not exceed the height of
the building by more than fifteen (15) feet and shall be located no closer than 15 feet to
the perimeter of the building.
iii) Building-mounted, non-whip type, telecommunications antennas shall be mounted
flush with the exterior of the building so that the antennas project no more than twenty-
four (24) inches from the surface of the building to which it is attached, that a minimum
clearance distance of fifteen (15) feet is maintained from the ground to the lowest
element of the antenna and that the antenna shall be of a texture and color so as to
blend with the surrounding surface of the building.
iv) Utility structure-mounted antennas shall not exceed more than twelve (12) feet the
maximum height of the utility structure. These utility structures shall include: electric
power transmission structures, light stanchions, and other like structures.
b) Freestanding Towers
i) For freestanding towers, structurally designed to accommodate shared users, the
following height and usage criteria shall apply:
for two users, up to one-hundred-twenty (120) feet in height;
for three users, up to one-hundred-fifty (150) feet in height.
Monopole Installation
The maximum diameter of a monopole tower at the base shall not exceed forty-
eight (48") inches. No microwave dish or similar device shall be mounted on the
pole portion of a monopole telecommunications tower. The platform portion of a
monopole telecommunications tower shall not have a horizontal cross section area
greater than 196 square feet. The depth of the platform shall not exceed 4 feet,
excluding any whip antenna. Only antennas that are part of a telecommunications
system authorized by the FCC shall be permitted on a platform.

e) No tower shall be located in front of the building facade facing any street, or be located
within any required setback.
8) Landscaping and Screening
The following requirements shall govern the landscaping surrounding towers; however, in
locations where the visual impact of the tower would be minimal, the landscaping requirement
Case No. Attachment C
ZA24-0006 Page 5
may be reduced.
a) Existing mature tree growth and natural land forms on the site shall 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. Mitigation of any
tree removal shall be in accordance to the Tree Preservation Ordinance, as amended.
b) Tower facilities (e.g., tower/antennas and any necessary equipment building) shall be
enclosed by an eight (8) foot, solid screening fence or masonry wall or a wrought iron

the impacted area and the placement of plantings as required in a “F2” bufferyard (as a
minimum) as described in Section 42 of this ordinance.
9) Principal or Accessory Use
a) Antennas and towers may be considered either principal or accessory uses. A different
existing user or an existing structure on the same lot shall not preclude the installation of
an antenna or tower on such lot. Towers that are constructed and antennas that are
installed in accordance with the provisions of this ordinance shall not be deemed to
constitute the expansion of a nonconforming use or structure.
b) Equipment structures shall be of minimum size to house transmitting/receiving equipment
and shall not be utilized for offices, vehicle storage, or for any other use other than for
transmitting and receiving transmissions. No outside storage shall be permitted on the

comprehensive general liability insurance with limits of liability thereunder of not less than:
bodily injury: $500,000 for injury to any one person and $1,000,000 for all injuries
sustained by more than one person in any occurrence; property damage: $1,000,000 for
damage as a result of any one accident. The applicant shall provide the city with a
renewal certificate within then (10) business days of each renewal. Any insurance
required to be provided by the applicant herein may be provided by a blanket insurance
policy covering this property and other locations occupied by the applicant, provided such
blanket insurance policy complies with all of the other requirements as to the type and
amount of insurance required. The applicant may also fulfill the requirements under this
section through a program of self-insurance, subject to approval by the city, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the applicant elects to self-insure, then the
applicant shall furnish the city with a letter stating that there is a self-insurance program in
effect that provides for the same, or greater, coverage than required of the applicant
herein. The applicant agrees to furnish the city with certificate of insurance certifying that
the applicant has in force and effect the above specified insurance. The certificate and
renewal certificates shall provide that insurance shall not be canceled or changed unless
30 days’ prior written notice is just given to the city.
c) Each backhaul provider shall be identified and have all necessary franchises, permits, and

12) Abandonment
a) The owner of a tower and/or related telecommunications facilities shall notify the Building
Official when the tower or other structures have ceased operating as part of a
telecommunications system authorized by the FCC. Within six (6) months of the date the
tower ceases to operate as part of an authorized telecommunications system, the tower
must either be removed from the site, or a certificate of occupancy must be obtained to
allow another permitted use of the tower. If within six (6) months, the owner fails to
remove the tower or obtain proper authorization for the use of the tower, the Building
Official shall revoke the certificate of occupancy for the tower and notify the city attorney to
pursue enforcement remedies.
b) Tower owner(s) shall bear all demolition costs.
13) Interference
Any signal interference complaints associated with telecommunications towers or related
