THE PERMIT AND CONTROL OF BROADCAST RECEIVING
DISH TYPE ANTENNAS.
WHEREAS, Chapter 1184, Special Permits, has established the authority
of the Planning and Zoning Commission to grant special permits to
land uses so designated by the Village Council;
WHEREAS, for reasons identified in the intent portion of this
Ordinance, it has become necessary to develop guidelines for the
installation of dish type antennas;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Council of the Vi llage of
.-
Dublin, State of Ohio, J of the elected members concurring:
Section 1. That the Planning and Zoning Code of Dublin, Ohio is
hereby amended to read as follows:
1127.02 DEFINITIONS
(13.5) "DISH ANTENNA" means an outside accessory antenna
that is linked to a receiver located on the same lot and
used for the reception of signals transmitted by stations
licensed by the Federal Communications Commission in the
Radio Broadcast Services including AM, FM, and TV.
1184.03 DISH ANTENNAS
(a) Intent. As a result of increased competition in the
satellite TV/dish market, more and more households and
businesses will be purchasing and installing these dishes.
Since the Village of Dublin is not completely wired for
cable TV, it is expected that there will be an increase
in the number of satellite dishes installed within the
community. In that the diameter of the dishes are
generally large, nonaesthetic, and can block firelanes
and utility easements, it has become necessary to develop
guidelines for their installation.
(b) Permit Process. A zoning clearance for the installation
of dish antennas sha 11 be issued to the owner of the property
by the Zoning Administrator after approval of a Special
Permit by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Planning
and Zoning Commission will base their approval upon a site
plan to be submitted by the applicant as per the Rules and
Regulations of the Planning and Zoning Commissi~n, and
how the site plan demonstrates that the installa~ion of
the dish antenna is in conformance with the fo llo\:ving
general guidelines.
(1) A dish antenna, when installed in any zoning
district, shall be:
