(A) At a minimum, new wireless facilities shall be a monopole constructed to support the initial user plus the anticipated loading of one additional user.
(B) The site of the initial wireless facility at any location shall be of sufficient area to allow for the location of one additional wireless facility.
(C) Any proposed wireless support structure shall be designed, and engineered structurally, electrically, and in all other respects, to accommodate both the initial wireless facility and one additional wireless facility support structure shall be designed to allow for future rearrangement of cellular communication equipment and antennas upon said structure and to accept cellular communication equipment and antennas mounted at varying heights.
(D) A proposal for a new wireless support structure shall not be approved unless the applicant submits an affidavit that the telecommunication equipment planned for the proposed wireless support structure cannot be accommodated on an existing or approved utility pole or electrical transmission tower or other structure due to one or more of the following reasons:
(1) The planned telecommunication equipment would exceed the structural capacity of the existing or approved utility pole or electrical transmission tower or structure as documented by a qualified and licensed professional engineer, and the existing or approved utility pole or electrical transmission tower or structure cannot be reinforced, modified, or replaced to accommodate the planned telecommunication equipment at a reasonable cost;
(2) The planned telecommunication equipment would cause interference impacting the usability of other existing telecommunication equipment at the site if placed on existing structures. Supportive documentation by a qualified and licensed professional engineer indicating that the interference cannot be prevented at a reasonable cost;
(3) The existing or approved utility pole or electrical transmission tower, or buildings/structure within the search radius cannot accommodate the planned telecommunication equipment at a height necessary to function reasonably as documented by a qualified and licensed professional engineer;
(4) Other unforeseen reasons that make it unfeasible or impossible to locate the planned telecommunication equipment upon an existing or approved utility pole or electrical transmission tower, building, or structure; or
(5) The applicant has been unable to enter a commonly reasonable lease term with the owners of existing utility pole or electrical transmission tower, buildings, or structures.
