A. In considering a request for approval of a special use or variations to permit the installation of a personal wireless service facility, the zoning board of appeals, plan commission or the board of trustees, as the case may be, shall be guided by the standards contained in sections 9-11-6 and 9-11-9 of the zoning ordinance, but shall also give due consideration and weight, in the case of an application for a freestanding tower, to whether:
1. The plans submitted will provide for collocation of other personal wireless service facilities on the same structure, so as to minimize the proliferation of freestanding antenna supporting structures.
2. The applicant has sought and been denied the opportunity to collocate its personal wireless service facility on an existing antenna supporting structure.
3. The applicant has used all reasonable efforts to cause the personal wireless service facility be concealed where possible, to blend into the surrounding landscaping and vegetation (for example, in the case of equipment boxes) or to express an architectural harmony with existing buildings and structures.
In considering a request for approval of a special use or variations to permit the installation of a freestanding pole type of personal wireless service facility, the Zoning Board of Appeals, Plan Commission or the Board of Trustees, as the case may be, may require, by express condition, that the applicant shall allow, on a commercially reasonable basis, other providers of personal wireless telecommunications services to collocate additional personal wireless service facilities on a freestanding pole which is part of the applicant's proposed personal wireless service facility, where such collocation is technologically and structurally feasible.
