This section is included in your selections.

In addition to materials required pursuant to CCC 26.10.310, Permit Processing – General Requirements, applications for the locating and development of wireless communications facilities and antennas shall also include the following:

(1) A scaled site plan, which in addition to the site plan requirements of CCC 26.10.310(3), clearly indicates the location of the proposed facility in relation to significant features within 2,500 feet including, but not limited to, existing and/or proposed site structures, public rights-of way, residential developments, adjacent land uses, and properties used for public purposes. The site plan shall also include any governmental jurisdictional boundaries within 500 feet of the proposal boundaries.

(2) Proposals for new support towers shall include a detailed landscaping and screening plan, including existing and proposed vegetation, installation procedures, and landscaping/screening maintenance plans. Included in the plan shall be height, species, and age class determinations of the existing, dominant forest buffer, if applicable.

(3) If camouflage technology is proposed, the applicant shall provide a complete description of the suggested camouflage, including style and materials to be used, a photographic depiction of the proposed facility, and a maintenance plan detailing provisions for the continued effectiveness of the suggested camouflage for the life of the facility. Color and finish plans shall be provided, including color finish sample chips indicating the proposed color scheme.

(4) Elevation drawings of the proposed facility, including any anticipated tower, equipment structures, antennas, mounts and, if applicable, any existing structures. Other applicable features, including but not limited to security fencing and screening shall be included.

(5) A comprehensive description of the existing or proposed facilities including the technical reasons for the design and configuration of the facility, design and dimensional information, coverage schemes, and the capability of future co-location opportunities, including documentation which demonstrates that the applicant has contacted safety and emergency services agencies pursuant to CCC 33.49.510(1)(d)(3), General Standards – Co-location. In the event the applicant cannot accommodate future co-location, a detailed written statement or report demonstrating such unfeasibility shall be prepared by the applicant. Infrastructure providers shall also present an analysis of existing WCFs within the intended service area, describing the status of co-location opportunities at these sites. The County may deny a new support tower proposal if future co-location is not provided or if the applicant is unable to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Review Authority that co-location is not feasible within the intended service area.

(6) The application materials shall include a report by a licensed professional engineer demonstrating the following:

(a) The facility complies with all requirements of the Uniform Building Code;

(b) The structural capability of the facility will support co-located antennas (if applicable);

(c) The facility complies with all applicable standards of the FAA and FCC, including RF energy standards; and

(d) The basis for the calculation of capacities.

(7) Documentation that establishes the applicant’s right to use the site shall be provided at the time of application.

(8) Applicants shall provide proof of FAA final air space determination (Form 7460-1) prior to issuance of any final conditional use permit (CUP) approval.

(9) An analysis of the proposal area and discussion of factors influencing the decision to target the proposed location. Such analysis shall include the “good faith” efforts and measures taken to secure a higher priority location; how and why such efforts were unsuccessful; and how and why the proposed site is essential to meet service demands for the geographic service area (refer to CCC 33.49.510(1), General Standards – Co-location).

(10) The application materials shall include a photographic analysis of the proposed site, including a representation of existing conditions and photographic simulations depicting views of any new support structures or towers from Highways 101 and/or 112.

(11) All applicable fees.

(12) Any additional applicable information the Review Authority deems necessary to adequately review the proposal.
