early February 1997. 'The City:CoUncil held a second public hearing and adopted the co& <br /> 'amendments on February 24, 1997. ' <br /> <br /> Overview of the City's Reeulations for Telecommunications. Facilities <br />· Siting requirements and procedures for teiecommunications devices are found in Section 9.5750 <br /> of the Eugene Code I971. These sections were renumbered and reformatted for the newLand <br /> Use COde, effective August 1, 2001, but the requirements were not changed. A copYof <br /> Ordinance No. 20078, adopting the code provisions, was distributed in October 2001. The Land <br /> Use Code can be accessed at: www. ci.eugene.or.us\cityreco\citycodekindex.htm#contents. The <br /> following is a brief overview of the key features of the City's regulations. <br /> <br /> Tiered Review Process: A tiered review process was. established to recognize that some types of <br /> telecommunication'facilities, in some locations, may require more detailed review and a greater. <br /> opportunity for public involvement than .others. Under this approach, some types of facilities are <br /> · permitted uses; some require Site Review, an admini.qrative decision with appeal to ~e Hearings <br /> Official, and Some require Conditional. Use review, a Hearings Official'decision with appeal to' <br /> the Planning Commission. 'For example, collocation of an antenna on an existin__g transmission <br /> tower is a Permitted use in most non-residential zones; while constructi°n of a new transmission <br /> tower or modification to an existing trsn.m~ission tower is a conditional use in' the R-1 zone. <br /> This approach Provides an incentive to collate new antennas where possible, rather than <br /> conslructing new towers and an incentive to locate new towers' in industrial.areas where they <br /> would.likely have~a leSser impact than in other areas of the community. <br /> <br /> Application Requirements: The code contains a detailed list of information requi~d for all .. ..... <br /> applications. More detailed information is requiredforfacilities that'reqUire Site Review or <br /> Conditional Use review, including: a visual study showing the appearance ofthe proposed <br /> facility from at least 5 points.within a 3-mile radius; evaluation of alternative sites; .evalUation of <br /> co-location options; an overall system plan for the city, showing existing and planned fac'flities. <br /> <br /> ~tdmdardsfor' Telecommunications Facilities: The code includes a series of standards that <br /> govern the installation, Construction or modification of telecommllllications facilities. As with <br /> the tiered review process, some standards differ from zone to zone. For example, standards for <br /> locating a new telecommunications tower in a low-density residential zone are more restrictive <br /> with r~. ect to tower height, setback and buffering than standards for a new t~lecommunications <br /> tower in an industrial district. <br /> <br /> RemOval: To ensure that, over the long term as technology changes, telecommunicationS. <br /> facilities are removed when they are not longer in use, the Code allows the City to require that <br /> telecommunication providers post a bond to ensure that removal occurs, particularly for towers <br /> located in residential areas. Bonds to ensure removal were also required as part of the <br /> Conditional Use approval for towers that were exempted from the moratorium. <br /> <br /> Recovery of City Cost for Expert Advice: The code allows.the recovery of full cost of retaining <br /> consultants to verify statements made in conjunction with a building permit or land use <br /> application for a telecommunications facility .... <br /> <br /> IV-31 <br /> Eugene City Council Agenda page22 <br /> <br /> <br />
