Sec. 28-107. Availability of suitable existing Support Structures, alternative <br /> buildings or structures, or alternative technology. <br /> <br /> (a) No new WCF shall be permitted unless the applicant demonstrates to the <br />reasonable satisfaction of the Director that no existing Support Structure, or <br />alternative Support Structure, or alternative technology that does not require the use <br />of Support Structures can accommodate the applicant's proposed WCF. An <br />Applicant shall submit any and all information as the City may deem appropriate <br />related to the availability of suitable existing towers and other WCF, other structures, <br />or alternative technology. Information submitted to demonstrate that no existing <br />Support Structure, WCF, or other structure or alternative technology can <br />accommodate the applicant's proposed WCF may evidence any of the following: <br /> <br />(1) No existing Support Structures or WCF are located within the <br /> geographic area which meet applicant's engineering requirements; <br /> <br />(2) <br /> <br />Existing Support Structures or other WCF are not of sufficient height <br />to meet Applicant's engineering requirements; <br /> <br />(3) <br /> <br />Existing Support Structures or WCF do not have sufficient structural <br />strength to support Applicant's proposed WCF and related equipment; <br /> <br />(4) <br /> <br />The Applicant's proposed Support Structure and WCF would cause <br />electromagnetic interference with existing WCF, or the broadcast <br />signal or antenna array on existing WCF or Support Structures would <br />cause interference with the Applicant's proposed WCF; <br /> <br />The fees, costs, or contractual provisions required by the owner of the <br />other structure in order to share an existing Support Structure or <br />WCF or to adapt an existing Support Structure or WCF for sharing <br />are unreasonable. Costs exceeding new Support Structure <br />development are presumed to be unreasonable; <br /> <br />(6) <br /> <br />There are other limiting factors that render existing Support <br />Structures, WCF, or an alternate technology unsuitable; <br /> <br />(7) <br /> <br />An alternative technology that does not require the use of Support <br />Structures, such as a cable micro-cell network using multiple low <br />power/receivers attached to a wire line system, is unsuitable. Costs <br />of alternative technology that exceed new Support Structure or WCF <br />development shall not be presumed to render the technology <br />unsuitable. <br /> <br />(b) As part of the process of consideration as to whether or not existing <br /> <br />Page -10- <br /> <br /> <br />
