Because of these concerns, an integral consideration of many telecommunication tower types is to ensure aesthetic designs are combined with smooth service. As a property owner, you may be concerned (or have heard concerns from the community) about the visual effect of a future antenna placement on your property or rooftop space. It\u2019s a common concern and one that stirs up plenty of debate.<\/p>\n<p>Towers, commonly used for wireless telecommunications, come in a <a title=\"Different Types of Telecom Towers: Which Design is Right for Your Site\" href=\"articles\/different-types-telecom-towers-design-right-site\/\">variety of types<\/a> including lattice, guyed, monopole, self-support, tower-on-wheels, and camouflage towers. And while many towers are not exactly invisible, using techniques for <a title=\"Staying Connected With Camouflage Telecom Tower Designs\" href=\"articles\/camouflage-telecom-tower\/\">stealthing a communication tower<\/a> with artificial versions of objects such as trees, cactus, bell towers, church steeples, etc, will help to decrease the overall visual impact.<\/p>\n<h2>Ordinances for Telecommunication Tower Types<\/h2>\n<p>Companies started disguising cell towers as trees in the 1980s to blend the large, obstructive metal structures into the natural environment and make them look more appealing. In the United States the <a title=\"Telecommunications Act of 1996\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Telecommunications_Act_of_1996\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">1996 Telecommunications Act<\/a> allows local jurisdictions to set maximum heights for towers, such as limiting tower height to below 200 feet. <em>The limit is more commonly set to 190 or 180 feet to allow for masts extending above the tower.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Today, building a new <a title=\"Tower and Antenna Siting\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fcc.gov\/general\/tower-and-antenna-siting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">tower or collocating an antenna<\/a> on an existing structure requires compliance with the Commission\u2019s rules for environmental review. These regulatory processes ensure that appropriate measures are taken to protect environmental and historic resources.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New tower construction requires:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>approval from the state or local governing authority for the proposed site;<\/li>\n<li>compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA);<\/li>\n<li>compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA); and may require<\/li>\n<li>notification to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA); and<\/li>\n<li>Antenna Structure Registration (ASR) with the FCC.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some legislation defines &#8220;alternative tower structures&#8221; to include man-made trees, clock towers, bell steeples, light poles and similar alternative-design mounting structures that camouflage or conceal the presence of antennas or towers. The materials, colors, textures, screening and landscaping should blend the tower into the natural setting and surrounding buildings must be used.<\/p>\n<h2>Reducing Energy Consumption<\/h2>\n<p>Apart from making towers look aesthetically pleasing in their environment, newer structures are designed to reduce operational costs and lower energy consumption. Concealing a cell tower also provides a unique opportunity to <a title=\"Tower Modification\" href=\"services\/telecommunications\/telecom-design-build\/tower-modifications-2\/\">upgrade, or retrofit, an existing tower<\/a> with advanced antennas for increased efficiency.
