In addition to providing the information specified in this title for conditional uses, an application for a conditional use permit for the construction of a communications tower or placement of a telecommunications antenna on an existing structure other than a tower or antenna previously permitted must include the following information:

A. A copy of the specifications for the proposed structures and antennas, including description of the design characteristics and material;

B. A site plan drawn to scale showing property boundaries, tower location, tower height, guy wires and anchors, existing structures, photographs or elevation drawings depicting typical design of proposed structures, parking, fences, landscaping, and existing land uses on adjacent property;

C. A current map showing locations of all of the applicant’s antennas, facilities, existing towers, and proposed towers within the borough;

D. Names of the owners of the tower, antennas and equipment to be located on the site;

E. Evidence that a valid FCC license for the proposed activity has been issued, if required;

F. A copy of the FAA determination as to whether the tower poses an aviation hazard, including the safety lighting and marking required by FAA, if any, and whether preferences or requests for deviations from such marking and lighting systems were submitted;

G. A written agreement to remove the tower and/or antenna within 180 days after the tower or antenna is substantially unused for a period of 12 consecutive months;

H. A visual impact analysis that quantifies the amount of visual impact on properties located within 1,000 feet of any proposed tower under 65 feet or within 2,500 feet of any proposed tower over 65 feet. Such analysis should include, to the extent practicable, the visual impact from at least two of the four compass directions, and show the relationship of the tower and its facilities against the massing of surrounding structures, trees, and other intervening visual masses. This analysis will include recommendations to mitigate adverse visual impacts on other properties;

I. An alternative site analysis including the availability of suitable existing towers and other alternative structures or locations for the proposed tower considered by the applicant; and

J. Additional information which may be required by the community development department for determination that all applicable laws are met. [Ord. FY2018-17 §2, 2018].
