Building or ground-mounted cellular, personal communications service ("PCS"), or other wireless antenna shall be considered a public utility use subject to a conditional use permit review and approval, as specified in Chapter 19.39, Division 7 of this Title 19.

Such modifications are covered by Section 19.27.090 of this chapter. Also exempted from conditional use permit review and approval are any applications for small wireless facilities in the public right-of-way as defined by Section 1.6002(I) of Subpart U, of Part 1, of Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The process for applying for a small wireless facilities permit in the public right-of-way shall be governed by Sections 19.27.100 and 19.27.110 of this chapter.
