In addition to the other requirements of this chapter, the following requirements will apply to the following types of facilities:
(A) Location requirements.
(1) No portion or extension of a major facility may protrude beyond property lines or extend into any portion of property where such facility is not itself permitted; provided, however, that the city may approve the location of guy wires in a required setback if such approval is consistent with the guidelines and requirements set forth in this chapter.
(2) Latticed towers must not be located in any R-1, R-1(a), R-2, R-3, R-4, R-A, HR1-PD zone. In all zones where they may be located, they must not be located within 100 feet of any property containing a residential structure.
(3) A ground mounted facility must not be located in a required parking area, vehicle maneuvering area, vehicle/pedestrian circulation area or area of landscaping such that it interferes with, or in any way impairs, the utility or intended function of such area.
(B) A ground mounted facility may not be permitted unless the reviewing authority makes the additional finding that, based upon evidence submitted by the applicant, no existing building or support structure can reasonably accommodate the proposed facility. Evidence supporting this finding will be reviewed by the reviewing authority and may consist of any of the following:
(1) No existing buildings or support structures are located within the geographic area proposed to be served by the applicant's facility.
(2) Existing buildings or support structures are not of sufficient height or structural strength to satisfy the applicant's operational or engineering requirements.
(3) The applicant's proposed facility would create electromagnetic interference with another facility on an existing structure, or the existing facility on a building or support structure would create interference with the applicant's proposed facility.
(4) The costs, fees, or contractual provisions required by a property owner, or by an incumbent wireless service provider, in order to colocate a new facility on an existing building or structure, or to adapt an existing building or structure for the location of the new facility, are unreasonable.
(5) There are other limiting factors that render existing buildings and structures unsuitable for use by the applicant.
(C) If the proposed major facility cannot be colocated, it must be sited at least 1,500 feet from any existing major facility unless the reviewing authority determines that a shorter distance is required for technological reasons, or that it would result in less visual obtrusiveness in the surrounding area.
