SUBJECT: REGULATIONS ON SATELLITE DISHES IN CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Accept the report on policies regulating the use of residential
satellite dishes in Contra Costa County.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
BACKGROUND:
In June, the Board of Supervisors directed staff to review and
report on policies regulating the use of residential satellite
dishes in Contra Costa County. The County' s Community Development
Department and its 18 cities were contacted regarding their
residential satellite dish regulations .
Contra Costa County and all of its cities allow satellite dishes
and treat them as "accessories" to the residence. The County does
not have a satellite ordinance, although set back and permit
requirements may apply depending upon the proposed location and
size of the satellite dish. At this time, Community Development
Department has not had problems with satellite dish applications
sufficient to warrant a separate ordinance. We have however,
requested them to monitor the situation.
Nine cities have satellite ordinances (attached) . Other cities
treat satellite dishes in the same manner as the County and have
varying set back, height, design review and permit requirements .
Regulations do not appear so restrictive as to discourage the
purchase of satellite dishes . However, residents should check
with their city planning and building inspection departments for
specific requirements .
