providers while minimizing the uRsightly rhaFaeteFi6tir=S visual impacts associated
with wireless communication facilities;
2. Encourage creative approaches in locating and designing wireless
communication facilities that blend in with the surroundings of such facilities;
3. Provide standards that comply with the Telecommunications Act of 1996
("the Telecommunications Act"); the provisions of this Section are not intended
to and shall not be interpreted to prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting
personal wireless services as defined in the Telecommunications Act; and
4. Administer the provisions of this Section in such a manner as to not
unreasonably discriminate between providers of functionally equivalent personal
wireless services, as defined in the Telecommunications Act.
B. GOALS:
1. Commercial Wireless Facilities:
a. Encourage the location of towers in nonresidential areas and
minimize the total number of towers throughout the community;
3
ORDINANCE NO.5876
b. Encourage the joint -use of new and existing towers;
c. Encourage users of towers and antennas to locate them, to the
extent feasible, in areas where the adverse visual impact on the community is
significantly minimized;
d. Encourage users of towers and antennas to configure them in a way
that minimizes the a4vefse-visual impact of the towers and antennas; and
e. Enhance the ability of the providers of telecommunications services
to provide such services to the community quickly, effectively, and efficiently.
2. Amateur Radio Antennas: The goals of this Section are to ensure the
interests of neighboring property owners are considered while reasonably
accommodating amateur radio communications so as to comply with applicable
Federal law. These regulations are not intended to preclude amateur radio
communications.
C. APPLICABILITY AND AUTHORITY:
No person shall place, construct, reconstruct or modify a wireless
communication facility within the City without an Administrator issued permit,
except as provided by this Title or chapter 5-19 RMC, and a Building Official issued
permit. The Administrator shall have discretion to approve or deny elements of a
WCF where standards provide flexibility or subjectivity; the same discretion is
given to the Hearing Examiner for applications requiring a public hearing.
D. COLLOCATION REQUIRED:
4
ORDINANCE NO. 5876
1. Evaluation of Existing Support Structures: With the exception of
support structures to facilitate the deployment of small cell facilities, no new
support structure shall be permitted unless the applicant demonstrates to the
Administrator's satisfaction that no existing tower or support structure can
accommodate the applicant's proposed WCF. Evidence submitted to demonstrate
that an existing tower or structure cannot accommodate the applicant's proposed
antenna may consist of any of the following:
a. No existing towers or structures are located within the geographic
area required to meet the applicant's engineering requirements.
b. Existing towers or structures are not of sufficient height to meet the
applicant's engineering requirements.
c. Existing towers or structures do not have sufficient structural
strength to support the applicant's proposed antenna and related equipment.
d. The applicant's proposed antenna would cause electromagnetic
interference with the antenna on the existing towers or structures, or the antenna
on the existing towers or structures would cause interference with the applicant's
proposed antenna.
e. The fees, costs, or contractual provisions required by the owner in
order to share an existing tower or structure or to adapt an existing tower or
structure for sharing are unreasonable. Costs exceeding new tower development
are presumed to be unreasonable.
9
ORDINANCE NO. 5876
f. The applicant demonstrates that there are other limiting factors that
render existing towers and structures unsuitable.
2. Cooperation of Providers in Collocation Efforts: A -With the exception
of support structures deploying small cell facilities, a permittee shall cooperate
with other providers in collocating additional antennas on support structures,
provided the proposed collocators have received a building permit for such use at
the site from the City. A permittee shall exercise good faith in collocating with
other providers and sharing the permitted site, provided such shared use does not
give rise to a substantial technical level of impairment of the ability to provide the
permitted use (i.e., a significant interference in broadcast or reception capabilities
as opposed to a competitive conflict or financial burden). Such good faith shall
include sharing technical information to evaluate the feasibility of collocation. In
the event a dispute arises as to whether a permittee has exercised good faith in
accommodating other users, the City may require a third -party technical study at
the expense of either or both the applicant and permittee.
