§ 16.1.7. Definitions.

Antenna. An exterior transmitting or receiving device used in telecommunications that radiates or captures CMRS signals. "Antenna" as used in this section does not include radio or television towers or transmitters.

Antenna, attached. An antenna mounted on an existing building, silo, smokestack, water tower, utility or power pole or a support structure other than an antenna tower.

Antenna, concealed. An antenna with a support structure that screens or camouflages the presence of antennas and/or towers from public view in a manner appropriate to the site's context and surrounding environment. Examples of concealed antennas include manmade trees, clock towers, flag poles, light structures, steeples and similar objects.

Antenna setback. The distance between a property line and the footprint of the antenna structure, including antennas, reflectors, dishes and other appurtenances.

Antenna tower. A freestanding structure, including monopole, guyed and lattice towers, designed and constructed primarily to support antennas and transmitting and receiving equipment.

Antenna tower height. The distance from the finished grade at the antenna tower base to the highest point of the tower. Overall antenna tower height includes the base pad, mounting structures and panel antennas but excludes lightning rods and whip antennas.

Co-development. Two or more competing CMRS providers working together to develop a single CMRS facility.

Co-location. Locating wireless communications equipment for more than one CMRS provider on a single structure.

Commercial mobile radio service (CMRS). Telecommunications services, including cellular telephone, personal communications service (PCS), specialized mobile radio (SMR), enhanced specialized mobile radio (ESMR), paging, wireless Internet access and similar commercial services.

Facility, CMRS. The equipment, physical plant and portion of the property and/or building used to provide CMRS services. This includes but is not limited to cables and wires, conduits, pedestals, antennas, towers, concealed structures, electronic devices, equipment buildings and cabinets, landscaping, fencing and screening and parking areas.

Facility, CMRS, temporary. A CMRS facility designed for use while a permanent CMRS facility or network is being designed or built, or for a special event where many people attending are CMRS users.

Microcell. A low power CMRS facility used to provide increased capacity in high telecommunications demand areas or provide in-fill coverage in areas of weak reception, including a separate transmitting and receiving station serving the facility.
