(2) Application procedures.
(a) Applications for non-tower WCFs shall be submitted to the City Zoning Administrator.
(b) All applications for non-tower WCFs shall include the following information:
[i] Upon submission of an application for any non-tower WCF, the WCF applicant shall mail notice thereof to the owner or owners of every property zoned residential on the same street within 500 linear feet of the parcel or property of the proposed WCF and of every property zoned residential not on the same street within 500 feet of the parcel or property of the proposed WCF if the application will be heard as a conditional use or a variance.
[ii] The name and contact information, including phone number, for both the WCF applicant and the owner of the proposed non-tower WCF.
[iii] A site plan, drawn to scale, showing property boundaries, power location, total height of the non-tower WCF, the entirety of the structure upon which the non-tower WCF will be collocated, and accessory equipment locations.
[iv] A before-and-after depiction of the proposed site, such as a construction drawing, showing all equipment being proposed as part of the non-tower WCF.

(d) A security fence with a minimum height of six (6) feet shall surround any separate communications equipment building if such communications equipment building is located at ground level. Vehicular access to the communications equipment building shall not interfere with the parking or vehicular circulations on the site for the principal use.
(4) Design.
(a) Non-tower WCF shall employ stealth technology and be treated to match the wireless support structure in order to minimize aesthetic impact. The application of the stealth technology utilized by the WCF applicant shall be subject to the approval of the City.
(b) Non-tower WCFs shall, to the extent technically feasible, incorporate architectural features, materials and colors which blend with surrounding buildings, structures, terrain or landscape.
(c) All non-tower WCF applicants must submit documentation to the City justifying the total height of the non-tower WCF structure. Such documentation shall be analyzed in the context of such justification on an individual basis.
(5) Prohibited on certain structures. No non-tower WCF shall be located on single- family detached residences, single-family attached residences, semi-detached residences, duplexes, or any residential accessory structure.
(6) Third party wireless support structures. Where the non-tower WCF is proposed for collocation on a wireless support structure that is not owned by the WCF applicant, the WCF applicant shall present documentation to the Zoning Administrator that the owner of the wireless support structure has authorized collocation of the proposed non-tower WCF.
(7) Retention of experts. The City may hire any consultant(s) and/or expert(s) necessary to assist the City in reviewing and evaluating the application for approval of the WCF at its sole discretion and, once approved, in reviewing and evaluating any potential violations of the terms and conditions of these WCF provisions. The WCF applicant and/or owner of the WCF shall reimburse the City for all costs of the City's consultant(s) in providing expert evaluation and consultation in connection with these activities. At the sole discretion of the City Zoning Administrator, the establishment of a professional services agreement may be required.
(8) Insurance. Each person that owns or operates a Non-Tower WCF shall annually provide the City with a certificate of insurance evidencing general liability coverage in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 per occurrence and property damage coverage in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 per occurrence covering the Non-Tower WCF.
(9) Substantial Change. Any Substantial Change to a WCF shall require notice to be provided to the City Zoning Administrator, and possible supplemental permit approval as determined by the City Zoning Administrator in accordance with the City Code.
