1118.04 CO-LOCATION REQUIREMENTS.

   (a)   Co-location Design Required. No new tower shall be constructed in the City unless such tower is capable of accommodating at least one additional wireless telecommunication facility owned by another person.

   (b)   Technically Suitable Space. Authorization for a tower shall be issued only if there is no technically suitable space reasonably available on an existing tower or structure within the geographic area to be served.

   (c)   Application Requirements. With the permit application, the applicant shall list the location of every tower, building, or structure within a reasonable proximity that could support the proposed antenna. The applicant must demonstrate that a technically suitable location is not reasonably available on an existing tower, building, or structure within such area. If another communication tower owned by another party within such area is technically suitable, the applicant must show that an offer was made to the owner of such tower to co-locate an antenna on a tower owned by the applicant on reciprocal terms with the City, and the offer was not accepted. If such co-location offer has not been attempted by the applicant, then such other tower is presumed to be reasonably available. (Ord. 081-2023. Passed 10-3-23.)
