The intent of co-location is to encourage several providers to use the same structure or site to keep the number of Wireless Communication Facilities sites to a minimum as a means of reducing the overall visual effects throughout the community. The following procedures are required to further the intent of Wireless Communication Facility co-location:
(A) A permittee shall cooperate with other Wireless Communication Facility providers in co-locating additional antennae on support structures and/or on existing buildings and sites provided said proposed co-locatees have received a permit for such use at said site from the City. A permittee shall allow other providers to co-locate and share the permitted site, provided such shared use does not give rise to a substantial technical level impairment of the permitted use (as opposed to a competitive conflict or financial burden).
(B) A signed statement indicating that the applicant agrees to allow for the potential co-location of additional Wireless Communication Facility equipment by other providers on the applicant’s structure or within the same site location shall be submitted by the applicant as part of the permit application. If an applicant contends that future co-location is not possible on its site, the applicant must submit a technical study documenting that such co-location is not possible.
