16.264 Lane Code 16.264 (vii) Documentation demonstrating that the Federal 'Aviation Administration (FAA) has reviewed and commented on the proposal, and the Oregon Department of Aviation has reviewed and provided comment on the proposal. (viii) Plans showing-how vehicle access will be provided and documents demonstrating that necessary easements have been obtained; and (ix) Other information requested in the application form provided by the Director, such as but not limited to, peer review by an independent engineering firm of the proposed telecommunications facility system design. (e) The applicant shall identify all existing towers, or properties that have obtained approval for a tower within ten (10) miles of the proposed tower location. The applieant shall provide evidence that collocation at all existing or approved towers within ten miles is not feasible, and provide documentation for locating a new tower, based on either of the following: (i) Lack of useable and compatible collocation space; (ii) Inability to meet service coverage area and capacity needs; or (iii) Technical reasons such as channel proximity and inter- modulation. (d) The tower shall comply with all required State of Oregon and Federal licenses for telecommunication tower facilities. The application shall include a certification that the completed installation' Will comply with all Federal, state and local standards. The applicant shall submit documentation demonstrating compliance with non- ionizing electromagnetic radiation (NIER) emission standards as set forth by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). (e) Factual information addressing compliance with requirements in LC 16.264 (4) and (5), below. ' (4) .Collocation Requirements for Telecommunication Facilities. Collocation of a telecommunications facility on an existing structure or building is not subject to the land use application and approval provisions of LC 16.264 (3). However, collocation of a new or 'replacement telecommunication facility may be allowed provided a land use · application is submitted pursuant to LC 14.050 and approved pursuant to LC 14.100. The application, for collocation may be allowed provided the requirements in LC 16.264(4)(a) and Co) are met. (a) An application for collocatiOn of a new or replacement telecommunications facility shall provide the information required inLC 16.264(3)(b)(i)- (ix) and (d). (b) Factual information addressing compliance with requirements in LC 16.264 (5) and (6), below. (5) Sitin~ Standards for Height, Setbacks and Access to Telecommunication · Facilities. The following standards shall apply to all new or replacement telecommuni- catiOn facilities. (a) Consideration shall be given to other sites in the service area that would have less visual impact than the site proposed as viewed from nearby residences and that the applicant has demonstrated that less intrusive sites are not available or do not provide the communication coverage necessary to provide the service. Visual impact can be measured by techniques including, but not limited to, balloon tests and photo simulations. (b) Telecommunication facilities shall be limited to the height necessary to provide the service, not to exceed 200 feet in height from ground level. (c) Directional / parabolic antennae shall be selected to optimize performance and minimize visual impact. (d) 'The setbacks for a tower shall be the setback otherwise allowed for all other structures in the zone except that: 16-457 WD l/c/00056.Chapter 16.250.264/T IV-125
