A Micro Facility is an attached wireless communication facility consisting of no more than three (3) antennas whose height is no more than four (4) feet and whose width is no more than one (1) foot and the antennas are concealed from view. If the antennas are visible, they may be no more than two (2) feet tall and the width and depth of the antennas may be no more than four (4) inches. The associated equipment cabinets are not to exceed four (4) feet high by three (3) feet wide by two (2) feet deep if they are visible.
