Preferred, disfavored, and prohibited location sites. 1. Preferred location sites. a. Co-location sites. Any existing telecommunications towers legally approved by the city of Revere city council currently being used for transmitting or receiving analog, digital, microwave, cellular, telephone, personal wireless service or similar forms of electronic communication shall be a preferred location site regardless of the underlying zoning designation of the site, provided, however, that locations which meet this criteria shall be subject to the design and siting components of this ordinance and co-location sites shall not become an "antenna farm" or otherwise deemed by the Revere city council to be visually obtrusive. b. Publicly used structures. Publicly used structures are preferred locations throughout the city because they appear in virtually all neighborhoods, are dispersed throughout the city, and due to their institutional or infrastructure uses are generally similar in appearance to or readily adaptable for telecommunications facilities. Therefore, telecommunications facilities should be less noticeable when placed on publicly used structures than when placed on commercial or residential structures. Publicly used structures include, but are not limited to, facilities such as utility structures, elevated roadways, bridges, hospitals, light poles and churches. c. Industrial and commercial structures.
