All connections between various components or the personal wireless service <br />facility and with necessary power and telephone lines shall be protected against damage <br />by fire, flooding, and earthquake. <br /> <br />6.

A building permit shall be required for the construction, installation, repair, or <br />alteration of all support structures for personal wireless service facilities equipment. <br />Personal wireless service facilities must be stable and must comply with the Uniform <br />Building Code and any conditions imposed as a condition of issuing a building permit. <br /> <br />18.110.170 Antennas Located on an Undeveloped Parcel <br /> <br />A.
