§ 88-22.602. Permit—Required.

(a)

A land use permit is required to establish, maintain, or expand a permanent meteorological tower.

(b)

A temporary meteorological tower permit is required to establish, maintain, or expand a temporary meteorological tower. An application for a temporary meteorological tower permit must comply with the special permit provisions of Article 26-2.20 and will be considered under the administrative decision procedure specified in Article 26-2.21.

(c)

A temporary meteorological tower permit may be extended once for a period of up to six months, as long as the application to extend the permit is submitted at least thirty days before the permit expiration date. A temporary meteorological tower operating under a temporary meteorological tower permit extension is not a permanent meteorological tower.

(d)

If an application for a proposed temporary meteorological permit does not demonstrate that the tower will comply with the development standards in subsection (a) of Section 88-22.406, the applicant may apply for a land use permit to modify those development standards.
