   (A)   Applications for telecommunications facilities filed under §§ 17.65.050, 17.65.055 or 17.65.060 shall be on a form prescribed by the Community Development Director. The application shall include, but is not limited to, the following:
      (1)   An engineered and stamped site plan clearly indicating the location, type and design of the proposed telecommunications facility, all information and/or drawings necessary to demonstrate how the applicant's proposed telecommunications facility complies with any location, development and design guidelines and standards set forth in a separate resolution adopted by the Planning and Housing Commission pursuant to § 17.65.090. If a deviation from the city's guidelines and standards is requested, the applicant must provide the technical justification for such deviation;
      (2)   Verification that use of the telecommunications facility will not interfere with other adjacent or neighboring transmission or reception functions;
      (3)   Evidence of ownership of the real property on which the proposed telecommunications facility will be located, or if the applicant does not own the real property, the name and mailing address of such real property owner(s) and a copy of the lease agreement for use of such property or permission of the property owner to submit an application for a telecommunications facility on the property owner's property;
      (4)   If the applicant is a telecommunications carrier or if the application is for a telecommunications facility to be used by a telecommunications carrier, the following shall be required:
         (a)   Information demonstrating how the applicant's proposed telecommunications facility complies with the city's location guidelines, why the proposed site was selected, and if applicable, why other more preferred sites are unavailable or not usable;
         (b)   A visual impact analysis which includes either a photo montage, field mockup or other pictorial representation identifying the potential visual impacts of the proposed telecommunications facility. Views from both public areas and private residences shall be included in the analysis. The analysis shall also assess the cumulative impacts from existing, proposed and foreseeable telecommunications facilities located in the vicinity and shall identify and include all feasible mitigation measures consistent with the technological requirements of the proposed telecommunications facility and service;
      (5)   If the Community Development Director determines the applicant's proposed telecommunications facility presents an opportunity for co-location, the following shall be required:
         (a)   Proof that all telecommunications carriers operating within the city or within three miles of the boundaries of the city have been notified of the application 14 days prior to its submission. The notice shall state the proposed location of the telecommunications facility, the type of support structure or tower, that co-location opportunities will be reasonably accommodated and parties interested in co-location should notify the Community Development Director. Proof of notice shall be provided in the form of returned certified mail receipts;
         (b)   Certification that the applicant has not signed any lease, and the property or support structure on which the telecommunications facility is located is not subject to any covenant, condition or restriction which would prevent other telecommunications carriers from co-locating telecommunications facilities on the same property or support structure;
      (6)   Proof that the location, design and lighting are approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), if such approval is required;
      (7)   Such other information as the Community Development Director may reasonably require.
   (B)   Any information of an engineering nature that the applicant submits, whether civil, mechanical or electrical, shall be certified by a licensed professional engineer.
   (C)   Any proprietary information, identified in writing by an applicant and disclosed to the city, city employee or agent of the city, in an application filed under this section, shall remain confidential and shall not be disclosed to any third party unless disclosure is otherwise required by federal or state law.
