§ 122.06 SHARED USE.
   (A)   The shared use of existing towers and antenna support structures shall be preferred to the construction of new towers or structures. Proper plans must be submitted and permits obtained for such shared use as required by the terms of this chapter.
   (B)   An applicant for a new tower or antenna support structure shall submit a report inventorying existing towers and antenna sites, located within a one-mile distance from the proposed site, outlining opportunities for shared use as an alternative to the proposed use. The applicant must demonstrate that the proposed personal wireless telecommunications facility cannot be accommodated on an existing approved tower or antenna support structure due to one or more of the following reasons:
      (1)   Unwillingness of the owner to entertain the proposed facility;
      (2)   The planned equipment would exceed the structural capacity of existing and approved towers and antenna support structures, considering existing and planned use for those facilities;
      (3)   The planned equipment would cause interference with other existing or planned equipment which cannot reasonably be prevented;
      (4)   Existing or approved towers or antenna support structures do not have space on which proposed equipment can be placed so it can function effectively and reasonably;
      (5)   Other reasons make it impracticable to place the equipment proposed by the applicant on existing and approved towers or antenna support structures;
      (6)   The proposed collocation of an existing tower or antenna site would be, by virtue of the requirements in this chapter, considered a prohibited use.
