Construction Standards.
A building permit must be obtained prior to the construction or installation of Antenna Facilities. Antenna Facilities must be installed according to the manufacturer's recommendations and under the seal of a professional engineer registered in the State of Texas. Additionally, all Antenna Facilities shall comply with applicable state and local building codes.

Building Codes/Safety Standards.
To ensure the structural integrity of Antenna Facilities, the owner of the facility must ensure that it is maintained in compliance with all provisions of the City building code and zoning regulations. If upon inspection, the City concludes that an Antenna Facility fails to comply with such codes and regulations or constitutes a danger to persons or property, then upon written notice to the owner of the Antenna Facility, the owner shall have thirty (30) days to bring such tower into compliance with applicable standards. Failure to bring such tower into compliance shall constitute grounds for the removal of the Antenna Facility at the owner's expense. This notice requirement shall not preclude immediate action by the Building Official as allowed by law if public safety requires such action.

Contained on Property.
No part of an Antenna Facility may extend beyond the property lines or required building lines of the lot on which the Antenna Facility is located.

State or Federal Requirements.
All Antenna Facilities must meet or exceed current standards and regulations of the FAA, the FCC, and any other agency of the state or federal government with the authority to regulate towers and antennas. If such standards and regulations are changed, and if the controlling state or federal agency mandates compliance, then the towers and antennas must be brought into compliance with such revised standards and regulations within six (6) months of the effective date of such standards and regulations, unless a different compliance schedule is mandated by the controlling state or federal agency.

Antenna Variance.
An Antenna Variance granted by the Board of Adjustment, following the procedure and requirements outlined in 2.11.03: Zoning Variance, is required for an Antenna Facility that will not comply with the requirements of this section unless otherwise specified herein.
