(1) An inventory of the applicant's existing towers that are either within the city or within one (1) mile of the border thereof, including specific information about the location, design, and height of each tower. The administrative official may share such information with other applicants applying for administrative approvals or variances under this section or with other organizations seeking to locate antennas within the city; provided, however, that the administrative official is not, by sharing such information, in any way representing or warranting that the sites are available or suitable.
(2) A site plan drawn to scale clearly indicating the location, height, and design of the proposed tower, equipment cabinets, transmission buildings and other accessory uses, access, parking, fences, and masonry screening walls.
(3) A legal description of the site.
(4) The separation distance from other towers within a one-mile radius of the proposed tower site.
(5) A description of anticipated maintenance needs, including frequency of service, personnel needs, equipment needs, and traffic, noise or safety impacts of the maintenance.

Once an owner demonstrates an antenna of the sort proposed by the applicant cannot be accommodated on the owner's tower as described below, the owner need not be contacted by future applicants for antennas of the sort proposed.
(9) Shared use is not precluded simply because a reasonable fee for shared use is charged, or because of reasonable costs necessary to adapt the existing and proposed uses to a shared tower. The city council may consider expert testimony to determine whether the fee and costs are reasonable.
(10) Any other information which may be requested by the administrative official to fully evaluate and review the application and the potential impact of a proposed tower or antenna.

(f) Documentation of need of communications tower. No new communications tower shall be permitted unless the applicant demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the administrative official or, when applicable, the city council, that no existing tower, building, structure, or alternative technology that does not require the use of a tower can accommodate the applicant's proposed antenna. The applicant shall submit information related to the availability of suitable existing towers, other structures or alternative technology which will demonstrate that no existing tower, structure or alternative technology can accommodate the applicant's proposed antenna. Such information may consist of any of the following:

(1) No existing towers or structures are located within the geographic area which meets the applicant's engineering requirements.
(2) Existing towers or structures are not of sufficient height to meet the applicant's engineering requirements.
(3) Existing towers or structures do not have sufficient structural strength to support the applicant's proposed antenna and related equipment.

(6) The applicant demonstrates that there are other limiting factors that render existing towers and structures unsuitable.
(7) The applicant demonstrates that an alternative technology that does not require the use of towers or structures, such as a cable microcell network using multiple low-powered transmitters/receivers attached to a wireline system, is unsuitable. Costs of alternative technology that exceed new tower or antenna development shall not be presumed to render the technology unsuitable.
(8) If the administrative official is not satisfied that the applicant has provided adequate documentation of need for the proposed site, the application shall be automatically scheduled for the next available public hearing by the city council for consideration.

(g) General requirements.

(1) No advertising sign shall be allowed on a communications tower.

(i) Visual impacts. Communications towers and any equipment building and related structures shall, to the extent possible, use materials, colors, textures, screening, and landscaping that will blend the tower and related facilities to the natural setting and built environment.

(1) All towers shall either maintain a galvanized steel finish or, subject to any applicable standards of the FAA or other applicable federal or state agency, be painted a neutral color, so as to reduce visual obtrusiveness.
(2) If an antenna is installed on a structure other than a tower, the antenna and supporting electrical and mechanical equipment must be of a neutral color that is identical to, or closely compatible with, the color of the supporting structure so as to make the antenna and related equipment as visually unobtrusive as possible.
(3) All towers shall be of monopole construction unless the city council approves an alternate design.

(1) To encourage shared use of towers, no site plan approval shall be required for the addition of antenna(s) to an existing tower so long as the height of the tower or structure on which the antenna is placed is not increased and the requirements of this section are met.
(2) Any site plan approval which is granted for a new communications tower is specifically subject to the condition that the tower owner abide by the following provisions relating to shared use, regardless of whether or not the ordinance granting the permit contains such conditions:

a. The tower owner shall respond in a timely, comprehensive manner to a request for information from a potential shared use applicant;
b. The tower owner shall negotiate in good faith for shared use by third parties;
c. The tower owner shall allow shared use where the third party seeking the use agrees in writing to pay reasonable, pro rata charges for sharing, including all charges necessary to modify the tower and transmitters to accommodate shared use, but not total tower reconstruction, and to observe whatever technical requirements are necessary to allow shared use without creating interference.
d. The willful failure of an owner whose tower was approved under this chapter to comply with the requirements of this chapter shall be grounds for withholding approval of any application by the owner for a building permit for the approved tower, for revoking the building permit granted for the tower, and for refusing to approve a new building permit for any new tower or antenna.

(k) Removal of unsafe or non-compliant antennas and towers. All towers and antennas shall be maintained in compliance with standards contained in applicable building codes so as to ensure the structural integrity of the towers. If upon inspection by the administrative official the tower is determined not to comply with the code standards or constitutes a danger to persons or property and the tower is not made safe or removed within sixty (60) days of notification from the city notifying the landowner and the owner of the unsafe tower or antenna, the city may remove the tower or antenna and place a lien upon the property for the costs of the removal.
(l) Abandoned towers. Any antenna or tower that is not operated for any continuous period of twelve (12) months shall be considered abandoned, and the owner of such antenna or tower and the owner of the property where the tower is located shall remove the tower or antenna within ninety (90) days after notification from the city to remove the tower or antenna.

(1) If the tower or antenna is not removed within the notification time period, the city may remove the tower or antenna and place a lien upon the property for the costs of the removal.
(2) If the owner of an abandoned tower or antenna wishes to use the abandoned tower or antenna, the owner first must apply for and receive all applicable permits and meet all of the conditions of this chapter as if the tower or antenna were a new tower or antenna.

(m) Pre-existing towers and nonconforming uses. All communication towers operative prior to the effective date of this section, shall be allowed to continue their present usage as a nonconforming use and shall be treated as a nonconforming use in accordance with the zoning regulations.
