In order for the Planning Commission to consider the location of a wireless telecommunication tower and facility as a conditional use:
(a) The applicant shall list the location of every tower, building, or structure and all of the areas set forth in Section 1271.03 that could support the proposed antenna(s) so as to allow it to serve its intended function, and shall indicate the reasons why such tower, building, or structure or area has been determined not to be technically suitable.
(b) If another tower, building, or structure set forth in Section 1271.03 is technically suitable, the applicant must show, to the satisfaction of the Planning Commission, that:
(1) It has made reasonable efforts to request co-location on the existing tower, building, or structure and the co-location request was not accepted by the owner of the tower, building, or structure; or
(2) It has made reasonable efforts to request all property owners with technically suitable locations to permit it to locate a tower under reasonable terms and the request was not accepted.
(c) As a condition of issuing a conditional use certificate to construct and operate a tower in the City, the owner/operator of the telecommunications tower is required to allow co-location until said tower has reached full antenna capacity, but in no event shall there be fewer than two additional antenna platforms for two additional providers unrelated to the owner/operator. Agreement to this provision must be included in the applicant’s lease with the landowner, if different from the owner/operator of the tower. Written documentation must be presented to the Planning Commission evidencing that the landowner of the property on which the tower is to be located has agreed to the terms of this subsection as well as all other applicable requirements, regulations, and standards set forth in this section.
(d) Any towers which are proposed as conditional uses shall be a minimum of one-half mile from any other tower proposed or previously approved as a conditional use.
