The application shall contain demonstrations that the granting of the application will further the objectives stated in Section 1136.01 above. Such demonstrations shall include:
(a) A demonstration the need for the wireless telecommunications facility to provide service primarily and essentially within the City. Such demonstration shall include propagation studies of the proposed site and all adjoining planned, proposed, in-service or existing sites;
(b) In the case of a new tower, a demonstration that the proposed facility has been sited and designed so as to employ the least visually and physically intrusive means that are not commercially impracticable under the facts and circumstances. Such report must include evidence that fair and thorough consideration was given to the following:
(1) Sharing an existing tower or other facility with another provider,
(2) Locating the facility atop or within an existing structure,
(3) Locating the facility upon publicly owned land,
(4) Making any new tower accessible to co-location of additional antennas of other providers,
(5) Locating the facility so as to minimize the impact upon the following types of Zoning Districts in the following order:
(A) Historical Districts,
(B) Single Family Residential Districts,
(C) Multi-Family Residential Districts,
(D) Commercial Districts,
(E) Manufacturing and Industrial Districts,
(6) Minimizing the height of towers and other structures,
(7) Employing camouflage or other stealth technology.
(c) A demonstration of the ability of any proposed new tower to accommodate future demand for at least five additional commercial applications, such as future co-locations, without causing interference. This requirement may be waived, provided that the applicant demonstrates that the provisions of future shared usage of the tower is not technologically feasible, is commercially impracticable or creates an unnecessary and unreasonable burden, based upon:
(1) The foreseeable number of FCC licenses available for the area;
(2) The kind of wireless telecommunications facilities site and structure proposed.
(d) Agreements between providers limiting or prohibiting co-location shall not be accepted as a valid basis for a claim of commercial impracticability or hardship. An assertion that the proposed site is the only site under option or lease shall not be accepted as a valid basis for a claim of commercial impracticability or hardship.
