Background:
On May 2, 2017, the City Council amended Section 5.9 of the Zoning Code, titled “Telecommunication Facilities,” to include regulation of small cell wireless facilities. The Oklahoma State Legislature then adopted the Oklahoma Small Wireless Facilities Deployment Act which became effective November 1, 2018. Amendments to Section 5.9 of the Zoning Code are proposed in order to: 1) make the code’s sections regarding definitions and height limitations consistent with the state statute, and 2) include regulations and procedures which were adopted and permitted in the state statute. In addition, minor changes were made in order to distinguish the regulations applicable to small cell telecommunication towers and the traditional large cell towers.
