§12.04 Variances
§12.04.01. The Board may authorize upon appeal in specific cases such variances from the terms of this Ordinance as will
not be contrary to the public interest, where, owing to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the
provisions of this Ordinance will result in unnecessary hardship, and so that the spirit of the ordinance is
observed and substantial justice done.
§12.04.02. A variance may be granted in such individual cases upon a finding by the Board that an unnecessary hardship
does, in fact, exist. In no case may the Board grant a variance that permits the land or structure to be occupied
by a use prohibited in the applicable zoning district.
§12.04.03. It is the intent of this Ordinance that a variance be issued only to mitigate a physical condition of a parcel of
land which poses a practical barrier to its development and use as otherwise permitted by this Ordinance.
Variances are limited to the minimum adjustment necessary to enable the reasonable use of the land.
§12.04.04 The Board uses the following guidelines in evaluating variance requests:
1. Special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure, or building involved and
which are generally not applicable to other lands structures, or buildings in the same district.
2.A literal interpretation of the ordinance would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other
properties in the same district under the terms of the ordinance.
3.The special conditions, for which relief is sought, did not result from actions of the applicant (self-imposed
hardship);
4. Granting of the variance is in harmony with the intent and purposes of the ordinance;
5. The variance will not adversely affect surrounding property, the general neighborhood, or the community as a
whole;
6. The variance will not allow the establishment of any use expressly or by implication prohibited in the
applicable district;
7.The variance requested is the minimum adjustment necessary to enable the legal use of the land or structure.
ANALYSIS:
The applicant is requesting a variance from the required rear yard setbacks due to the irregular shape of the lot. In order to
develop a residential structure within this subdivision, the HOA requires a minimum of 2,200 square feet for the home.
Rather than constructing a 2-story structure to meet this requirement, the applicant is seeking a waiver from the setback
requirements in the zoning ordinance to build a 1-story home. This adjustment aims to maintain the privacy of adjacent
properties and accommodate the unique shape of the lot.

7. The variance requested is the minimum adjustment necessary to enable the legal use of the land or structure.
ANALYSIS:
The applicant is requesting a variance from the required front yard setback to construct a garage attachment to the residential
structure. Corner lots have two front yards, which is why both sides have a 35ft setback. The proposed addition is a multi-
stall open bay garage designed to match the height of the existing structure. According to the applicant, the proposed garage
will align with and complement the aesthetics of the existing residence.
The submitted proposed site plan indicates that the garage will encroach approximately 25ft into the required 35ft setback
and will be approximately 10ft from the Jasmine Trail side property line.

(see attached)
Section 12.03 Special Exceptions
The Board shall review the application for compliance with this ordinance and all other applicable codes and ordinances
of the city. The Board must make written findings determining that the proposed use-on-appeal will not:
1. Be contrary to the public interest and will ensure that the spirit of this ordinance is observed;

ANALYSIS:
AT&T is requesting a Special Exception to allow a 195’ communication monopole tower. No party may construct a tower
or tower compound until the Board has approved it as a Special Exception use, unless permitted by right in the applicable
district (Zoning Ordinance Section 7.21.02).
The centerline of a tower may not be located closer than 200 ft to the boundary line of any residential property (Section
7.21.07 (3)). The proposed tower will be roughly 300 feet from the nearest residential. The centerline of the tower may
not be closer than 50ft to the boundary line of the nearest nonresidential lot (Section 7.21.07 (3)). The proposed location is
zoned for B-2 and the surrounding adjoining lots are zoned for B-2 and B-1. Adjoining lots are 50’ or more away from
proposed tower.
No signs may be attached to, or depicted on, a tower at a height more than 20ft above grade level (zoning ordinance
7.21.07(4)).
Towers may not be illuminated except for warning beacons. Lights for security and maintenance purposes may be
installed on structures which contain equipment. Lights must be pointed downward from a height of no more than 10ft
(zoning ordinance 7.21.07(6)).

§7.18.02 Recycling Centers
1. Unless approved through a Special Exception by the Board, recycling centers must be operated from a
permanent building located on the premises.
2. Receptacles must be located behind the front building line to the extent practicable. In such case the
approving authority may require any receptacles located forward of the front building line to be
screened or other improvements made for compatibility with adjoining development and as necessary for conformance with the requirements or intents of the applicable district.
3. All recyclables must be within a receptacle or otherwise stored out of public view whenever the recycling center is closed. The operation and/or its site must be designed and managed so that any
after-hours drop-off of recyclables, if permitted, does not result in accumulation of recyclable materials
in areas visible to the public. If after-hours drop-off of recyclables is not permitted, the approving authority may require that the premises be secured to prevent such accumulation.
§7.18.03 Donation Bins
1. Donation Bins are permitted as an accessory use on nonresidential premises only and may only be placed with permission of the property owner.
2. Location of donation bins must be approved by the Director before being placed on premises.
3. Donations Bins may not encroach on any required parking, loading or landscaping and may not
interfere with vehicular circulation on or off the premises.
4. Donated goods must be collected regularly so as not to allow accumulation of goods outside of containers. Receptacles must display the name of the owner or sponsor, their address, telephone
number, and contact person responsible for collection. All donated goods accumulating outside of containers must be collected within 48 hours of notice by the City.
§7.19 Short Term Rentals
Reserved.
§7.20 Tattoo Parlors
Not more than two such uses are permitted within 1,000 ft of each other or an adult entertainment establishment, as
measured between the nearest property lines. Nor may a tattoo parlor be located closer than 500 ft to the nearest boundary of any residential district or the nearest property lines of the following protected uses: child day care center
or learning center; church or other place of assembly; or any public or private school offering pre-kindergarten through high school education programs. The expansion of a residential district or location of a protected use in conflict with these separation requirements will not cause an existing, permitted tattoo parlor to become nonconforming.
§7.21 Telecommunication Towers
§7.21.01 Definitions. As used in this Section, the following words and terms have the meanings as defined herein:
1. ANTENNA. An electromagnetic device which conducts radio signals through an attached cable or wave guide, to or from a radio transmitter or receiver. “Antenna” includes devices commonly referred to as
“whips”, “panels” and “parabolic dishes”. “Antenna” includes an antenna used in conjunction with microwave, cellular or personal communication service systems and any other type of
telecommunication systems now or hereafter in use.
2. CO-LOCATION SITE. A parcel of land or other site on which the antennae and related equipment of more than one party are located.
3. COMMUNICATION FACILITIES. Towers, antennae and equipment, collectively.
4. EQUIPMENT. All equipment and facilities used in conjunction with one or more towers and/or antennae, including, but not limited to, electronic systems, generators, fuel tanks and fuel.

5. FIBER-OPTICS. Light transmissions through very fine flexible glass, by internal reflection.
6. MONOPOLE. Any self-supporting wooden pole or any self-supporting metal or concrete pole designed to
support an antenna; provided, that the word “monopole” does not include a latticed steel or metal tower, a tower which requires guy wires for support or a tower which has more than one source of
support, such as a tower with more than one leg.
7. RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY. Any land located in a Residential District.
8. TOWER. Any telecommunication Monopole (as defined hereinbefore) including Monopoles used for
microwave, cellular or personal communication service systems and any other telecommunication systems now or hereafter in use. As used in this article, “tower” includes any telecommunication tower
installed or constructed within the city prior to the effective date of this Ordinance, regardless of
whether such tower is a Monopole or another type of tower.
9. TOWER COMPOUND. A parcel of land or a building on which communication facilities are located
§7.21.02 Required Approvals. No party may construct a tower or tower compound until the Board has approved it as a Special Exception use, unless permitted by right in the applicable district, and a Building Permit has been subsequently granted. Co-location of an antenna on an existing tower may be approved by the Director,
except as otherwise provided herein.
§7.21.03 Applicability. All towers, antennae and equipment constructed or installed, whether on a new or existing
tower compound, after the effective date of this Ordinance and any changes or additions to any tower or
antenna in existence before the effective date of this Ordinance, are subject to this Section. A tower which is proposed to be built on a co-location site is subject to the same requirements and conditions as all other
towers. Routine maintenance of, and repairs to, the communication facilities, may be performed without the approval of the Board, though a permit may be required if applicable to the nature of the maintenance or repair activity.
§7.21.04 Public hearing. The Board will hold a public hearing with respect to each application for the construction of a tower. The installation of any additional antenna on the same tower, and the equipment used in
connection with such additional antenna, is subject to approval of the Director and does not require a
hearing or approval of the Board unless:
1. the tower compound is to be enlarged or there is a change in the size or location of the existing tower;
or
2. the Director considers it appropriate that such application be referred to the Board for review and
consideration
§7.21.05 Co-location. A new tower may not be constructed if space is available, on an economically reasonable basis, on an existing tower which is structurally and technically able to support the proposed antenna. An
affidavit that reasonable effort has been made by the applicant to locate the proposed antenna on an existing tower must be submitted with the application for the construction of a new tower. Each tower constructed must be designed to provide for the installation of additional antennae to the fullest extent
practicable, taking into consideration the structural and technical limitations of the type of tower proposed.
§7.21.06 Review Criteria. In considering whether to permit communication facilities to be constructed and/or
installed at a certain location, the Board will consider the following public health, safety, and general
welfare criteria:
1. Structural safety of towers: Towers must comply with wind-load and other structural standards
contained in applicable building and technical codes adopted by the Council, and the electronic industries associations code, so as not to endanger the health and safety of people in the event of the structural failure of a tower. The Director will determine whether towers comply with the requirement of
this subsection.

2. Appearance of tower compounds: To the extent practicable, towers and tower compounds must be designed, through the use of building materials, colors, textures, screening and landscaping, so that
their appearance is compatible with surrounding land uses. The Board may require that planting and a decorative fence or wall be constructed around a tower compound to help accomplish this end.
3. Compliance with rules and regulations: All communication facilities must comply with all applicable
rules, regulations and other requirements of the FCC and other governmental agencies having jurisdiction over them, including but not limited to, the State of Alabama. The Board may require that
satisfactory evidence of such compliance be furnished by the applicant.
§7.21.07 Development Criteria. The Director will review all applications for towers, antennae, or equipment for compliance with the provisions of this Section. By a vote of a majority of the members of the Board present
at the public hearing, the Board may waive any one or more of the following requirements if the circumstances justify such waiver and provided the reasons for such waiver are included in the Board’s
minutes.
1. All towers must be monopoles.
2. Each tower compound must be large enough to provide room for a structure to contain the equipment
for at least one additional antenna.
3. The centerline of a tower may not be located closer than 200 ft to the boundary line of any residential
property. If the land on which a tower compound is located, and all land which abuts the tower
compound, is in a nonresidential zoning district (including land in a PUD District used for nonresidential purposes) the centerline of the tower may not be closer than 50 ft to the boundary line of such property.
The Board may reduce the foregoing setback requirements in exceptional cases where, due to unusual topographic conditions, the enforcement of the setback requirements would result in unnecessary
hardship; provided that the setback may not be reduced to less than the minimum setback required in
the applicable district and that the reduction of the setback requirements may not, in the opinion of the Board, be contrary to the health, safety and general welfare of the public.
4. Material finishes and colors should be used to reduce the visibility of the tower.
5. No signs may be attached to, or depicted on, a tower at a height more than 20 ft above grade level.
6. Towers may not be illuminated except for warning beacons and as provided herein. Lights for security
and maintenance purposes may be installed on structures which contain equipment. Such light must be pointed downward from a height of not more than 10 ft and may not exceed a maximum of 150 watts.
Such lights must be located and directed so that they do not shine or reflect onto or toward any
residential property.
7. Each tower compound must be surrounded and fully secured by a dark colored, vinyl-coated or
galvanized steel chain link security fence or masonry wall or combination thereof, at least eight feet in
height.
8. All tower compounds must be surrounded by a buffer which must, to a height of at least eight feet,
effectively screen the view of the tower compound from adjacent public ways and residential property. The buffer must consist of a landscaped strip, at least four feet in depth, located outside of the security
fence. The landscaped strip must be planted with a combination of trees, shrubs, vines, and/or ground
covers capable of attaining, at maturity, a height as high as the security fence. For tower compounds located within 1,000 ft of residential property or areas of special aesthetic concerns, such as schools,
the Board may require wider landscaped buffer areas and other items, such as decay-resistant, solid wood fences, earth beams and masonry walls. All fences, walls and landscaping must be kept in good
condition.
Applications must include the name and address of the party who will be responsible for maintenance and repair of the communication facilities, and any fences, walls and landscaping. If a different person

7-28 City of Prattville Zoning Ordinance
becomes responsible for maintenance and repair, the owner of the tower must give the Director written notice of the person’s name and address.
9. In isolated, nonresidential areas, alternative landscaping methods, such as the use of a dark colored, vinyl-coated or galvanized steel chain link security fence in combination with evergreen shrubs, trees,
vines, and/or other plantings, may be permitted on the condition that if the areas surrounding such
tower compounds become developed, the Board may require the owner of the tower compound to comply with the requirements of 8) above.
10. Existing mature tree growth and natural landforms must be preserved to the maximum extent practicable. In some cases, such as tower compounds located on large, wooded lots, preservation of a substantial amount of natural growth around tower compound may be considered by the Board in
determining buffer requirements.
11. A parking area and driveway of asphalt, concrete or other all-weather surface approved by the Director
must be provided for each tower compound for service access and for access by emergency services.
Subject to the approval of the Board and to an appropriate agreement with the owner thereof, access may be by means of, and parking may be provided on, an adjoining property. Subject to the approval of
the Board, one or more public streets adjoining the tower compound may serve as the parking area.
§7.21.08 Removal of Unused Towers. Any tower which is no longer in use for its permitted purpose must be
removed at the owner’s expense. Within ten working days of sending notice to the FCC of the intent of the
owner to cease use of the tower, the owner must provide the Director with a copy of such notice. The owner must remove the tower and all communication facilities used in connection with it within 90 calendar
days from the day the tower ceases to be used or by an earlier date if required by the FCC. If the owner does not remove the tower from the tower compound within the required time period, the owner of the property on which the tower is located, if different from the owner of the tower, must remove it within 90
calendar days of receiving written notice from the City. If neither the owner of the tower nor the owner of the property removes the tower within the time prescribed, the City may, but is not obligated to, remove the
tower. If the City removes the tower, it may recover the cost of doing so from the owner of the tower and/or
the owner of the property. A tower used by more than one party may continue to be used for telecommunication purposes if the tower is used for such purposes by at least one party. Any party who
ceases to use a tower used by more than one party must remove its antenna from the tower and must remove its equipment from the tower compound within 90 calendar days after it ceases to use the tower, or within a shorter period as prescribed by the FCC, so that the tower and compound will be available for use
by another party.
§7.21.09 Receiving Antennae. A building permit is required for receiving antennae over 24 inches in diameter. A
receiving antenna located in a residential district is considered an accessory structure. A receiving antenna located in a nonresidential district must be screened on at least three sides if it is located on the roof of a building or on the top of any other structure, and it must be screened on four sides if it is located at grade
level.
§7.21.10 Application. In addition to other information required by this Ordinance, all applications to construct a new
tower or to locate an antenna or additional equipment on an existing tower compound, must include the
following:
1. A list of the names and addresses of all owners of property adjoining the subject property. The
application must be accompanied by the certification by the applicant, a surveyor or an attorney that the list of property owners was obtained from the County tax assessor and that the list contains the names
and addresses of all owners of property within 500 ft of such tower compound.
2. Statement of impact on health, safety, and welfare: A brief written statement concerning the steps the applicant has taken to comply with all applicable rules, regulations, and requirements concerning health
and safety matters related to the proposed communication facilities.

3. Site plans: A site plan, prepared by a surveyor, scaled to not less than one inch equals 50 ft, showing the location and dimensions of the subject property, as well as the location of setback lines, driveways,
parking areas, fencing, landscaping, and generators and the location, size and type of any fuel tanks. The site plan must be prepared by a licensed and must also show:
a. all parcels located within 500 ft of any part of the tower compound
b. zoning classification of the property and of all parcels within 100 ft of the subject property, including zoning classifications in an adjoining municipality
c. the latitude, longitude, section, township, range, tax parcel identification number, street address and the site identification number of the proposed tower compound. If any part of the tower
compound is or will be located within 1,000 ft of a boundary line of the city, the following information
must be clearly indicated:
1) the distance from such boundary line
2) the name of the adjacent municipality
d. such other information as may be required by the Board to determine compliance with the requirements of this Ordinance. If the proposed tower is to be located on a portion of a larger
property, its location with respect to the boundary lines of such property must be shown on the site plan.
4. Elevation views: a silhouette and elevation view of the proposed or existing tower, as applicable, all
other communication facilities, and the tower compound, describing colors and materials to be used for the communication facilities and any fencing or walls. The configuration of proposed antenna arrays
must be shown on the silhouette. The proposed location of future, additional antenna arrays must be shown on the silhouette by dashed lines.
5. Frequency band and wattage: The frequency band and maximum wattage of proposed communication
facilities.
6. The estimated life of the tower, the antenna and the equipment.
7. Affidavit: An affidavit of the applicant stating that: 1) there is no existing tower from which the area to
be served from the proposed new tower can be served; or 2) the applicant has made good faith efforts to have its antenna installed on an existing or proposed tower (from which the area proposed to be
served by the new tower could be served) and has been unable to do so and giving a detailed written narrative of the efforts made by the applicant to use such existing or proposed tower.
8. Certification of Shared Use Design. If the tower to be used is one on which there is already one or more
antennae, the application must be accompanied by a certification by an engineer, qualified to make such certification, certifying that the tower is able to accommodate the proposed antenna, as well as
the antennae already located on the tower, in a safe and functional manner.
To help defray the costs of processing applications, reviews and otherwise administering the provisions of this Section, the applicant must submit a non-refundable application fee, as set by the Council, plus
any costs incurred by the City for public notice.
§7.21.11 Foundation Survey, As-Built Certification. After the foundation for a tower is poured, a foundation survey,
prepared by a surveyor, showing the location of the foundation of the tower, must be furnished to the
Director, and no further work may be done with respect to the construction of the tower until the Director has approved, in writing, the foundation, including its location. Upon the completion of the tower and
installation of an antenna, or upon the location of an additional antenna upon an existing tower, the tower and antenna or the antenna, as the case may be, may not be put into operation until a qualified engineer
furnishes the City written certification that the tower and the antenna were built and installed, or the
antenna was installed, if the antenna was installed on an existing tower, in accordance with the plans submitted to the city including the installation of any required buffers, fencing and walls.

DESCRIPTION OF VARIANCE REQUEST:
1. The applicant is requesting a variance from site and site plan requirements, namely parking and landscaping
APPLICANT’S HARDSHIP (FROM APPLICATION):
“Cannot afford”
ZONING ORDINANCE REFERENCED:
DRAFT
DRAFT 12/06/2024
Page 2 of 3
§12.04 Variances
§12.04.01. The Board may authorize upon appeal in specific cases such variances from the terms of this Ordinance as will
not be contrary to the public interest, where, owing to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the
provisions of this Ordinance will result in unnecessary hardship, and so that the spirit of the ordinance is
observed and substantial justice done.
§12.04.02. A variance may be granted in such individual cases upon a finding by the Board that an unnecessary hardship
does, in fact, exist. In no case may the Board grant a variance that permits the land or structure to be occupied
by a use prohibited in the applicable zoning district.
§12.04.03. It is the intent of this Ordinance that a variance be issued only to mitigate a physical condition of a parcel of
land which poses a practical barrier to its development and use as otherwise permitted by this Ordinance.
Variances are limited to the minimum adjustment necessary to enable the reasonable use of the land.
§12.04.04 The Board uses the following guidelines in evaluating variance requests:
1. Special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure, or building involved and
which are generally not applicable to other lands structures, or buildings in the same district.
2. A literal interpretation of the ordinance would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other
properties in the same district under the terms of the ordinance.
DRAFT
DRAFT 12/06/2024
Page 3 of 3
3. The special conditions, for which relief is sought, did not result from actions of the applicant (self-imposed
hardship);
4. Granting of the variance is in harmony with the intent and purposes of the ordinance;
5. The variance will not adversely affect surrounding property, the general neighborhood, or the community as a
whole;
6. The variance will not allow the establishment of any use expressly or by implication prohibited in the
applicable district;
7. The variance requested is the minimum adjustment necessary to enable the legal use of the land or structure.
ANALYSIS:
Applicant desires to place an approximately 3,000 square foot metal building on the subject property for his personal
business storage. The applicant requests a variance from the site requirements for landscaping and parking.
Typically, a new commercial structure will be required to provide minimum parking on-site. According to the Zoning
Ordinance, a “warehouse” would be required to provide one parking space per employee plus one per company vehicle, but
not less than one parking space per 500 square feet of building. In the subject case, this site would need six parking spaces.
The zoning ordinance also requires landscaping along the foundation of the building and perimeter landscaping between the
parking area and any adjoining properties. Ordinarily, frontage landscaping would be required along any adjoining rights-
of-way, but this particular property does not have frontage on a public right-of-way.
