A. In order to have a complete application for consideration the following items must be submitted:
1. Alternative Sites Analysis:
a. For major utility infrastructure in a Residential Zone or within two hundred feet (200') of a Residential Zone or in the Central Business District, the applicant must address the City's preferred locations with a detailed explanation justifying why a site of higher priority was not selected.
b. A complete alternative sites analysis provided under this subsection may include less than three (3) alternative sites so long as the applicant provides a factually detailed written rationale for why it could not identify at least three (3) potentially available, higher ranked, alternative sites.
2. Colocation Of Facilities:
a. Policy: Whereas the City understands the importance of critical deployments of utility infrastructure, it is the policy of the City to minimize the number of support towers and/or utility poles, and to encourage the colocation of utilities of more than one service provider on a single utility infrastructure (i.e., water storage, tower, utility pole).
b. Requirements For Colocation: Should the applicant of major utility infrastructure request to allow other transmission equipment owned by others to colocate with the major utility infrastructure facility where technically and economically feasible and aesthetically desirable, then the requirements identified in chapter 6 of this title must be met.
3. Documentation:
a. Visual Analysis: A color visual analysis that includes to- scale visual simulations that show unobstructed before-and-after construction daytime and clear-weather views from at least four (4) angles, together with a map that shows the location of each view, including all equipment and ground wires.
b. Design Justification: A clear and complete written analysis that explains how the proposed design complies with the applicable design standards under this chapter to the maximum extent feasible. A complete design justification must identify all applicable design standards under this chapter and provide a factually detailed reason why the proposed design either complies or cannot feasibly comply.
c. Noise Study: Verification that the proposed structures and associated equipment meets subsection 11-11-9B of this Code shall be required. A noise study, if the proposal is in or within two hundred feet (200') of Residentially zoned property or in the Central Business District, may be required.
d. Building Code Standards: Documentation from an Idaho licensed professional engineer shall be submitted which shall demonstrate the proposed facility's compliance with applicable Building Code standards, and describing the general structural capacity of the proposed facility, including the maximum number and type of devices that can be accommodated and the basis of the calculation of capacity.
e. Site Approval: The applicant shall provide a copy of site approval from the FAA, where applicable.
4. Other Permits Required: The utility compliance permit is reviewed concurrently with a variety of other processes to include but not be limited to a site, building, or right-of-way encroachment permit with their own required submittals. The utility compliance permit is reviewed and either approved or denied by the Community Development Director or his/her designee and may be appealed according to section 8-5-11 of this chapter. A final permit shall meet the requirements of all permits to be issued.
5. Application Fees: An applicant shall submit an application fee in accordance with the City's then adopted fee schedule. (Ord. 596, 5-24-2019)
