§ 18.41.060. Submittal requirements.

All applications for wireless telecommunication facilities shall be submitted to the community development department. The number and size of plans shall be determined by the community development director or his designee, who may waive certain requirements or require additional information based on specific project factors. Any submittal shall contain the following information:

(1)

Submittals shall include all application materials generally required for the type of permit sought (i.e., conditional use permit).

(2)

Site plan, including all facility related support and protection equipment. Plan shall also describe general project information including the type of facility, number of antennas, height to top of antenna(s), radio frequency range, wattage output of equipment, statement of compliance with current FCC requirements and a description of the anticipated maintenance program and back-up generator power testing schedule.

(3)

Elevations of all proposed wireless telecommunication structures and appurtenances, and composite elevations from the street(s) and view-sheds showing the proposed project and all buildings on the site.

(4)

Photo simulations, photomontage, story poles, elevations or other visual or graphic illustrations necessary to determine potential visual impact of the proposed project. Visual impact demonstration shall include accurate scale and coloration of the proposed facility.

(5)

Landscape plan that shows existing vegetation, vegetation to be removed and proposed plantings by type, size, location and method of irrigation. If deemed necessary, the community development director or his/her representative may require a registered arborist's report to document project impacts on existing vegetation. This report may recommend protective measures to be implemented during and after construction.

(6)

A geographic service area map with and without the proposed facility showing "hand-off" sites within the city planning area and distances between these sites. The map shall illustrate the geographic area the facility could be located in and all other existing sites that could be used for the proposed antenna location. The map shall also include all wireless telecommunication facilities of all telecommunication service providers within 1,000 feet of the proposed site.

(7)

Provide a discussion of and supporting information regarding alternative site selection and co-location opportunities in the service area. Each application shall demonstrate how the proposed facility satisfies the locational preference guidelines established by resolution. If the proposed location is not a preferred location, the application shall describe the preferred location sites within the geographic service area, a statement why each alternative site was rejected and a contact list used in the site selection process.

(8)

Provide noise and acoustical information for the base transceiver station(s) equipment buildings, and associated equipment such as air-conditioning units and back-up generators.

(9)

A cumulative impact analysis may be required for the proposed facility and other wireless telecommunication facilities on or near the project site. The analysis shall include the height of all existing and proposed wireless telecommunication facilities on or near the site, dimensions of all antennas and support equipment on or near the site, power rating for all existing and proposed back-up equipment and a report estimating the ambient radio frequency fields and cumulative electro-magnetic radiation at the proposed site.

(10)

Statement by the applicant of willingness to allow other carriers to co-locate on their facilities whenever technically and economically feasible and aesthetically desirable.
