other public agency.

10-22-10: ACCESSORY USES:

Accessory or incidental uses that are not specifically listed as a permitted or a conditional use in any
given zone may be allowed in connection with a permitted, conditional or nonconforming use. The
determination of what qualifies as an accessory use is based upon such use's relationship to the
principal use, such that the use is so customarily incidental to the principal use, and so necessary or
commonly to be expected in conjunction therewith, that it cannot be supposed the ordinance was
intended to prevent it.

A. Application: Application for an accessory use shall be made in writing to the planning commission and
shall include the interpretation sought and such other information as may be specified by the town
council. The planning commission shall recommend to the town council either to approve or deny
the application, after which the town council shall decide on the actual approval or denial.

B. Standards: The planning commission in recommending to the town council whether to approve an
application for an accessory use, and the town council in granting any approval of such an
application, shall each find that:

1. The accessory use is in harmony with the intent and purpose of the applicable zone, and in
harmony with the intent and purpose of this title; and

2. The accessory use is in harmony with the intent and purpose of the general plan; and

3. The proposed accessory use is typical and customary to the nature of the primary use, and so
necessary or commonly to be expected in conjunction therewith, that it cannot be supposed the
ordinance was intended to prevent it; and
4. The size of the lot in question is sufficient for the proposed use and all required yards, parking,
landscaping, open space and any other applicable provisions of this title; and

5. The proposed accessory use will not be detrimental to the public welfare or unreasonably detract
from the enjoyment of neighboring properties and improvements; and

6. The proposed accessory use is essentially similar to uses in the vicinity of the lot or parcel at issue;
and

7. The proposed accessory use is not the basis for establishment of a nonconforming principal use.

C. Appeals: Any appeal regarding a decision on an application for an accessory use under this section
shall be made in accordance with section 10-3-11 of this title.

10-22-11: FARM ANIMALS:

A. Scope: The agricultural history of the town remains one of its characteristic features. It is the intent of
this section to encourage the continuation of what agricultural use remains, for both its functional
and aesthetic qualities.

B. Regulations: The following regulations shall apply to farm animals:

1. Animals Allowed: Pursuant to the standards in chapter 10-15D, Ssmall numbers of farm animals
and fowl shall be allowed in the valley residential and agricultural zones only for small scale
commercial and noncommercial food production, small scale commercial breeding or the
enjoyment and convenience of the owner. The keeping of farm animals or fowl in the valley
residential zone shall only be allowed as a conditional use.

2. Structures: Pursuant to the standards in chapter 10-15D, Aapproval must be obtained from the
planning commission, or DCD if the structures are minor (according to the criteria in section 10-15-
7 of this title), , as appropriate, prior to the construction, reconstruction, erection, alteration,
expansion or modification of barns, stables, corrals, kennels, pens, coops and runs intended for the
keeping of dogs, farm animals and fowl.

10-27-5: GENERAL STANDARDS:

A. Preferential Order: The town will consider wireless communication facilities listed in the following
preferential order, with the first preference listed first and the last preference listed last. The order
of location preference in each category and each zoning district shall be public property first and
private property second. Applicants for wireless communication facilities are required to provide
justification why facilities listed as a higher preference are not feasible before a lower preference
will be approved. This justification will be reviewed by the third party expert review described in
section 10-27-8 of this chapter. All facilities shall use small cell deployments as the preferred
technology, where feasible.

1. Wireless communication facilities using small cell/DAS technology (or similar technology that
reduces the overall size required for facilities and antennas) are the first preference for facility
type. The following list establishes the town's preference for facilities using small cell/DAS or
similar technology:

a. Enclosed facility.

b. Concealed attached facility.

c. Nonconcealed attached facility.

d. Concealed freestanding facility.

e. Nonconcealed freestanding facility.

2. Wireless communications facilities that do not use small cell/DAS or similar technology may be
used only if technical constraints prevent small cell/DAS or similar technology facilities from being
feasibly developed. Economic or financial issues do not justify the use of facilities that do not use
small cell/DAS or similar technology. The following list establishes the town's preference for
facilities that do not use small cell/DAS or similar technology:

a. Enclosed facility.

b. Concealed attached facility.

c. Nonconcealed attached facility.

d. Concealed freestanding facility.

e. Nonconcealed freestanding facility.

B. Preference For Location: The order of preference for location of wireless communications facilities in
the town's zoning districts is:

1. Public use.

2. Agricultural.

3. Central commercial.

4. Village commercial.

5. Valley residential.

6. Foothill residential.

Applicants for new facilities are required to provide justification why zoning districts listed as a
higher preference are not feasible before a lower preference will be approved. This justification
will be reviewed by the third party expert review described in section 10-27-8 of this chapter for
applications for all wireless facilities, as well as any other application that requires third party
review pursuant to subsection 10-27-8A of this chapter.

C. Required Permits: Wireless communication facilities shall be located in accordance with the use table
above. One or more of several types of permits may be required for a given facility or group of
facilities.

1. Design/Development Review: All facility types require design/development review approval. A


land use application for any PWSF is not considered complete until the applicant has also applied
for any other land use approval required for the PWSF.

2. Administrative Permit: For those types of facilities that are allowed as permitted uses in the given
zone district, and for qualified collocations, an administrative permit (a permit issued by the
planning commission) is required. The permit shall be processed and decided in accordance with
this section.

3. Conditional Use Permit: For those types of facilities or locations that require a conditional use
permit (see use table above), the planning commission shall review the application under the
standards stated in chapter 3A of this title.

D. Height: No wireless communication facility may exceed the height allowed by the zone in which the
facility is located, except under all of the following specific criteria:

1. The applicant successfully demonstrates with thorough analysis and study, subject to third party
review under section 10-27-8 of this chapter, that a greater height is needed to serve the town's
current wireless communication needs.

2. When an exception for an increased height is made the maximum facility height will be the
shortest height at which the proposed facility will feasibly provide wireless service to an area of the
town that currently does not have adequate service, or forty five feet (45'), whichever is less. This
height shall not contemplate collocation of facilities.
3. The applicant must demonstrate there is no other feasible location or facility type that would allow
a shorter facility height that could provide service to the area that does not currently have
adequate service.

E. Historic Structures And Districts: No wireless communication facilities are allowed attached to historic
structures or located in historic districts, as identified by the historic preservation commission
pursuant to the historic preservation ordinance.

F. Ancillary Buildings To Antenna Structures: Ancillary buildings to antenna structures must comply with
the required setback, height and landscaping requirements of the zoning district in which they are
located. Ancillary buildings, cabinets and associated structures shall be fenced with a six foot (6')
screen fence, unless the planning commission determines such fence is not necessary to screen the
facilities. Any fencing used must comply with the town's design standards for fences and walls found
in chapter 16 of this title. All power lines leading to the accessory building and antenna structure
shall be underground.

G. Lighting: An antenna may not be illuminated unless required by the FAA.

H. Nonmaintained Or Abandoned Facilities: Each nonmaintained or abandoned wireless communication


tower or antenna must be removed from the building or premises when the communication tower
or antenna has not been repaired or put into use by the owner, person having control, or person
receiving benefit of such tower or antenna within sixty (60) calendar days after notice of
nonmaintenance or abandonment is given to the owner, person having control, or person receiving
the benefit of such structure. The town shall require a cash or surety bond to guarantee removal of
all freestanding facilities. The bond amount shall be one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the
estimated costs to remove the freestanding facility and accessory buildings and to restore the
surface to its preinstallation condition. If, after sixty (60) days' notice, the antenna has not been
repaired or put into use, the antenna is declared to be a nuisance that can be abated under law.
Springdale may use the cash or surety bond provided under this section to pay to remove any
freestanding facility.

I. Slopes: Wireless communication facilities, including accessory structures, may not be located on
natural undisturbed slopes that measure thirty percent (30%) or greater in grade, or where access to
the facility requires traversing natural undisturbed slopes that measure thirty percent (30%) or
greater in grade.

J. Signage: All signage used in connection with any PWSF, including on accessory structures, must
conform to the town's color palette standards under chapter 17 of this title. Only the following
signage may be used in connection with any PWSF:

1. Signage necessary for warning of high voltage or other dangers associated with the facility may be
placed to reasonably give warning and notice of the danger;

2. Signage required by FAA or FCC rules (i.e., ASR identification); or

3. Information signage not to exceed six (6) square feet identifying the owner of the facility, contact
information, and other pertinent identification information.
10-27-6: VISUAL IMPACT STANDARDS:

The town recognizes the need for wireless communication facilities to provide efficient communication
services for residents and visitors. The town also recognizes the unique scenic vistas and viewsheds
surrounding the town are one of Springdale's most important natural resources, and the reason many
residents and visitors are drawn to the area. Wireless communication facilities should be located and
designed to have as minimal visual impact as possible when viewed from the valley floor and any
property within one thousand feet (1,000') of the facility, while still providing efficient service. For the
purpose of this section, "visual impact" means obstruction of or interference with the views of Zion
Canyon, the foothills surrounding town, and/or named peaks and rock formations. The following
standards are adopted to achieve the purposes of this section:

A. An applicant must submit a visual impact analysis with the applicant's application for any proposed
wireless communication facility other than an enclosed facility or concealed attached facility.

B. The visual impact analysis required under this section must be a written report. The report must
assess the visual impacts of the proposed facility and must identify and include all feasible
mitigation measures necessary to mitigate any negative visual impact of the proposed facility. At the
planning commission's request, the applicant must provide an additional simulation of the tower's
impact by erecting a temporary representation of the proposed facility on the project site. The
applicant must allow the viewing of the simulation by the planning commission and interested
parties. The applicant must bear all costs associated with the temporary representation.

C. The visual impact analysis report shall include the following:

1. A photograph simulation of predevelopment versus proposed postdevelopment views from the


valley floor and surrounding properties.

2. An analysis of possible alternative facility types and structure designs and color schemes.

3. An analysis of the visual impact of the proposed facility and accessory buildings from the valley
floor and any property within one thousand feet (1,000') of the proposed facility.

D. The visual impact analysis shall propose visual impact mitigation strategies to reduce the visual
impact the facility will have when viewed from the valley floor and any property within one
thousand feet (1,000') of the proposed facility. The planning commission will review the proposed
mitigation strategies and may impose any or all of the proposed strategies as a condition of
administrative permit or conditional use permit approval, as appropriate. Visual mitigation
standards may include, but are not limited to:

1. Using an enclosed facility or small cell/DAS concealed facility.

2. Using existing natural features such as vegetation or topography to screen the view of the
proposed facility.

3. Locating the facility in such a way that views of prominent named peaks and rock formations are
not impacted from properties on the valley floor.
4. Using a facility with the shortest height possible.

5. Using colors and materials designed to help the facility blend with its surroundings.

6. Using landscape or other natural features as a visual screen.

7. Any combination of the above strategies, or other strategies designed to mitigate the visual impact.

10-27-9: APPROVAL PROCESS:

PWSF require the following approvals and processes:

A. Design/Development Review: The planning commission shall evaluate all applications for PWSF
according to the standards in this chapter, as well as all applicable standards for the underlying zone
and other land use standards. In the event of a conflict, the standards in this chapter shall prevail.

B. Conditional Use Permit: A conditional use permit is required in various zoning districts for all types of
PWSF except enclosed facilities, as set forth in section 10-27-5 of this chapter. Standards of review
for conditional use permits are those standards found in chapter 3A of this title and this chapter,
with particular emphasis on the visual impact standards in section 10-27-6 of this chapter.

CB. Compliance With Siting Preferences: For every application for siting of new PWSF on or above
ground level (except temporary PWSF and collocations), the applicant must submit an affidavit from
a radio frequency engineer demonstrating that the applicant has complied with the siting
preferences of subsection 10-27-5A of this chapter. Where a lower preference alternative is
proposed, the affidavit must address why each of the higher ranked options are not technically
feasible, practical, or justified.

DC. Application And Fees:

1. Application materials required for PWSF shall be in accordance with this section.

2. The town council shall establish fees to cover or offset the processing cost of all permits under
this section which will be included in the development fee schedule. Every application for a PWSF
shall be accompanied by the full payment of the fee established for the type of facility requested
(except the expert review fee referenced in subsection 10-27-8C of this chapter). Payment of fees
is required in order for an application to be considered complete. The fee shall not be, in whole or
in part, deferred or waived.
