A. In addition to any other conditional use permit requirements established by Chapter 19 of this Title, the applicant shall provide the Planning Director with the following:
1. A report prepared by a licensed civil engineer that addresses the following issues:
a. Safety criteria for the height of the proposed tower or antenna considering the maximum wind speeds that may be encountered;
b. A site plan consistent with the requirements of Chapter 20 of this Title. Included in the site plan shall be the engineer certification based on soils tests, that designed tower or antenna footings are appropriately designed for safety;
c. A statement that the tower or antenna complies with applicable structural standards, including maximum wind speeds. The statement shall also include a description of the failure characteristics of the tower or antenna and demonstrate that setbacks to the nearest property line are sufficient to contain debris should the tower collapse;
d. A statement regarding compliance with radio frequency standards of the Federal Communications Commission and that the tower or antenna and its reception and transmission functions will not interfere with the usual and customary transmission or reception of radio, television, and other services on adjoining properties;
e. A statement describing the tower's maximum capacity, including the number of antennas that it can accommodate for co-location.
2. A written statement from the property owner or facility owner that addresses the following issues:
a. Due diligence has been undertaken in seeking and subsequent failure to find space on an existing tower or antenna to co-locate the proposed antenna(s);
b. That alternative structures, such as roofs of existing buildings or structures, have been evaluated and that they cannot be successfully used to achieve the height needed for the tower or antenna;
c. Compliance with or exemption from FCC, FAA, NEPA, California Public Utilities Commission, CEQA, and any other Federal or State regulations applicable to the siting;
d. Agreement of the property owner or tower or antenna owner and their successors in interest to allow shared use of the tower or antenna if: 1) capacity exists based on existing and planned use, 2) a future applicant for space on the tower or antenna agrees in writing to pay reasonable charges for shared use, and 3) the potential use is technically compatible;
e. Delineation of the site boundaries and property boundaries of the proposed location;
f. Description of the tower or antenna structure to be constructed and the types of anchors (guy wires and anchors, etc.) to be used for the facility;
g. Description of the access to the facility including type of surface material to be installed and a description of the parking area and the surface to be installed;
h. Description of any accessory building to the tower or antenna, its location, size, shape, and public utilities necessary (water, sewer, electrical, etc.);
i. Anticipated maintenance needs, including frequency of service, personnel needs, equipment needs, traffic generation, noise, or safety impacts of such maintenance;
j. Provision of liability insurance for the operation and maintenance of the tower and antenna, with a provision to notify the City if such insurance should expire for any reason;
k. The estimated cost of tower or antenna removal. The applicant shall also provide proof of a performance bond or other instrument acceptable to the City to cover the cost of tower or antenna removal should the property owner or tower or antenna owner or successors in interest fail to remove the tower or antenna in a period of six (6) months after the cessation of use as a wireless communication facility, or in the event that the City determines that the tower or antenna has become a hazard to the public health, safety or welfare because of lack of maintenance;
l. A plan for removal of the tower or antenna within six (6) months should the facility cease to be used as a wireless communication facility, or in the event that the City determines that the tower or antenna has become a hazard to the public health, safety or welfare because of lack of maintenance;
m. A signage plan consistent with the sign regulations in Chapter 16 of this Title;
n. A security plan which describes any fencing required for the facility and how such security plan will promote the security of the facility;
o. A plan for landscaping any facility within one hundred feet (100') of any public street and is visible to any public street. Such landscaping shall consist of a combination of ground cover and at least one row of six foot (6') tall (at maturity) evergreen trees adjacent or proximate to the security fence. Water conservative vegetation should be employed in the landscaping plan along with drip irrigation facilities. (Ord. 527, 8-4-1997)
