(a) Type of Review. Unless otherwise exempt from permit requirements pursuant to Section 21.46.040, each wireless communication facility requires a permit in accordance with Table 21.46.030.
(b) Application Requirements. In addition to the requirements set forth in Chapters 21.96 and 21.110, the application for zone clearance/plan check or for a conditional use permit must include the following:
(1) A site plan, drawn to scale, showing all existing improvements on the site, the proposed location of the wireless antenna facility, the height of any existing or proposed new support structure, accessory equipment facility, guy-wires, above and below ground wiring and connection cables, existing or proposed easements on the property, the height above ground of any panels, microwave dishes, or whip antennas, and the distance between the antenna facility and any existing or proposed accessory equipment facility.
(2) A description of the maximum potential of the proposed wireless antenna site to accommodate the installation of additional antennas.
(3) A location map showing existing wireless antenna sites within the city that are owned or operated by the applicant and any proposed sites in the city that may be required for future area coverage.
(4) Documentation that the electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from the proposed wireless facility, both individually and cumulatively, will be within the limits approved by the FCC. As a condition of approval of any permit or other entitlement, the approving authority may require the annual submission of a report prepared by a qualified person evidencing the fact that EMFs continue to be within approved FCC limits.
(5) A statement concerning the minimum distance from the proposed wireless antenna facility that is required to ensure that no person will be exposed to any harmful effects attributable to EMFs.
(6) Evidence of any required licenses and approvals to provide wireless services in the city.
(7) The property owner's written consent to the proposed siting of the wireless antenna facility and acknowledgment of its obligations under this zoning ordinance.
(8) A radio coverage map of the area proposed to be served. If the applicant is proposing a new support structure, then a written statement, including all facts in support thereof, from a licensed radio engineer attesting to the need for such structure, as described in the application, to be located at the applied for location.
(c) Review Criteria. In addition to consideration of the criteria for zone clearance/plan check or conditional use permit in Chapters 21.96 and 21.110, respectively, the approving authority must consider the following factors in determining whether to issue a permit or other entitlement for a wireless antenna facility:
(1) Height of the proposed facility.
(2) The nature and proximity of existing uses on adjacent properties.
(3) Surrounding topography.
(4) Surrounding tree coverage and foliage.
(5) Design of the proposed facility, with particular reference to design features that have the effect of reducing or eliminating visual obtrusiveness, such as a camouflaged facility, a facility screened by natural or artificial vegetation, or a facility located or co-located on an existing building or an existing support structure.
(6) Proposed ingress and egress.
(7) Availability of suitable existing buildings or support structures.
