A. No new tower shall be permitted unless the tower is designed and built to be able to support another carrier's WCF comparable in weight, size, and surface area to the telecommunications facilities installed on said tower by the applicant. No new tower shall be permitted unless the applicant provides evidence of the failure of applicant's good faith effort to install or collocate the applicant's telecommunications facilities on city owned towers or usable antenna support structures or on towers located on property leased from the city located within a one-half (1/2) mile radius of the proposed tower site, including good faith efforts to negotiate lease rights, to no avail and evidence of the following:
1. Lack of existing towers or structures located within the geographic area required to meet the applicant's engineering requirements;
2. Insufficiency of design of existing tower or structures to meet applicant's engineering requirements as shown in the master development plan;
3. Insufficiency of existing towers or structures to support the proposed antenna and related equipment;
4. That 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; and/or
5. The fees, costs of contractual provisions required by the owner in order to share an existing tower or structure or to adapt an existing tower or structure for share are unreasonable. Costs exceeding new tower development are presumed to be unreasonable.
