These standards were developed to protect the public health, safety, and welfare, and minimize visual impacts on residential areas, while furthering the development of wireless communication services. These standards were designed to comply with the Telecommunication Act of 1996. The provisions of this section are not intended to and shall not be interpreted to prohibit or to have the effect of prohibiting wireless communication services. 22.120.020 Permits and Exemptions. Where a transmission tower or antenna support structure is located in a zoning district, which allows such use as a permitted use activity, administrative review, and a building permit, shall be required, subject to the project's consistency with the development standards set forth in 22.120.040, in instances where the use is not allowed as a permitted use activity, a conditional use permit and building permit shall be required in addition to a demonstration of consistency with all required development standards. The permits required for antenna arrays and support towers are identified in the consolidated use matrix (Section 19.500.020). Exemption: Wireless radio utilized for temporary emergency communications in the event of a disaster is exempt from the provisions of this section and shall be permitted in all zones. 22.120.030 Required Application Submittals. All applications for wireless antenna arrays and wireless communication support towers shall include the following: 1. A letter signed by the applicant stating that all applicable requirements of FCC, FAA, and any required avigation easements have been satisfied. 2. A scaled site plan clearly indicating the location, type and height of the proposed tower, antennas, on-site land uses and zoning, adjacent land uses and zoning, adjacent roadways, proposed means of access, setbacks from property lines, elevation drawings of the proposed tower, the equipment structure, fencing, buffering and the type of concealment technology which will be utilized. The full, detailed site plan shall not be required if the antenna is to be mounted on an existing structure. 3. The applicant shall have performed and provided a photographic simulation of the proposed facility from all affected properties and public rights-of-way. 4. The applicant shall provide copies of any environmental documents required by the State Environmental Policy Act. 5. The applicant shall have demonstrated effort to collocate on an existing support tower or other structure. New support towers shall not be permitted within one (1) mile of an existing support tower unless it is demonstrated that no existing support tower or other structure can accommodate the proposed antenna array. The City reserves the right to retain a qualified consultant, at the applicant's expense, to review the supporting documentation for accuracy. 6. Evidence to demonstrate that no existing support tower or other structure can accommodate the proposed antenna array may consist of the following: • No existing support towers or other structures are located within the geographic areas required to meet the applicant's engineering requirements. P:\Community Development\Planning Commission\2006 Meetings-Planning Commission\04-27-06 PC Meeting\Wireless Communications Section 4-27-06.doc 1 • Existing support towers or other structures are not of sufficient height to meet applicant's engineering requirements. • Existing support towers or other structures do not have sufficient structural strength to support applicant's proposed antenna array and related equipment. • The applicant's proposed antenna would cause electromagnetic interference with the antenna on the existing support towers or other structures, or the antenna on the existing support towers or other structures would cause interference with the applicant's proposed antenna. 7. The applicant of a new tower shall provide a signed statement stating the applicant has provided notice to all other area wireless service providers of its application to encourage the co-location of additional antennas on the structure. 8. A signed statement from the owner and/or landlord to remove the facility or obtain another permit for the facility within six (6) months of when the facility no longer operating as part of a wireless communication system authorized and licensed by FCC. 9. Proof that all the necessary property or easements have been secured to assure for the proper construction, continued maintenance, and general safety of the properties adjoining the wireless communication facility. 21.120.040 Design Standards. The support tower, antenna array, and supporting electrical and mechanical equipment shall be installed using concealment technology. Concealment technology applies to all personal wireless service facilities, including, without limitation, antennas, towers and equipment structures. For any facility, "concealment technology" means the use of both existing and future technology through which a personal wireless service facility is designed to resemble an object which is already present in the local environment, such as a tree, streetlight, or traffic signal. It also includes: 1. For personal wireless service towers: • If within existing trees, "concealment technology" means: o The tower is to be painted a dark color; o Is made of wood or metal; and o A greenbelt easement is required to ensure permanent retention of the surrounding trees. • Concealment technology for towers in a more open setting means that they must have a backdrop (for example, but not limited to, trees, a hillside, or a structure) on at least two sides, be a compatible color with the backdrop, be made of compatible materials with the backdrop, and that architectural or landscape screening be provided for the other two sides. If existing trees are the backdrop, then a greenbelt easement is required to ensure permanent retention of the surrounding trees. • Antennas shall be integrated into the design of any personal wireless service tower to which they are attached. External projections from the tower shall be limited to the greatest extent technically feasible. • For rooftop antennas or antennas mounted on other structures: • For omni-directional antennas 15 feet or less above the roof, "concealment technology" means use of a color compatible with the roof, structure or background. P:\Community Development\Planning Commission\2006 Meetings-Planning Commission\04-27-06 PC Meeting\Wireless Communications Section 4-27-06.doc 2 • For other antennas, "concealment technology" means use of compatible colors and architectural screening or other techniques approved by the City. • Antennas shall be integrated into the design of any existing structure or support structure to which they are attached. External projections from the existing structure or support structure shall be limited to the greatest extent technically feasible. 2. For antennas mounted on one or more building facades: • "Concealment technology" means use of color and materials such that the facility has architectural compatibility with the building. It shall be mounted on a wall of an existing building in a configuration as flush to the wall as technically possible and shall not project above the wall on which it is mounted. 3. For equipment structures: • "Concealment technology" means locating within a building, or if on top of a building, with architecturally compatible screening. An underground location, or above ground with a solid fence and landscaping, is also considered concealment technology Advertising or display shall not be located on any support tower or antenna array; however, the owner of the antenna array shall place an identification plate indicating the name of the wireless service provider and a telephone number for emergency contact on the site. No artificial lights other than those required by FAA or other applicable authority shall be permitted. All security lights shall be down shielded, and installed to be consistent with Section XX.XX.XX of the SVMC. The facility shall be enclosed by a site obscuring secured fence not less than six (6) feet in height with a locking gate. No barbed wire or razor wire shall be permitted. That support tower foundations, equipment shelters, cabinets or other on-the ground ancillary equipment shall be buried below ground or screened with a site obscuring secured fence not less than six (6) feet high. The requirement for a site obscuring fence may be waived provided the applicant has secured all on the ground ancillary equipment in a locked cabinet designed to be compatible with and blend into the setting and the means of access for the support tower is located a minimum of twelve (12) feet above the ground. That all support structure(s) for wireless communication antennas shall have their means of access located a minimum of eight (8) feet above the ground unless the requirement for a fence has been waived. The support tower shall meet the minimum primary structure setback requirements for the underlying zone. That support towers shall not be permitted inside a public park, public monument or private friWia located within a public park or public monument. That the facility may be located on the same lot as one or more other structures and uses without violating, or causing violation of Section 14.416.000 of this Code which prohibits multiple primary uses on one buildable lot. (see RCW 58.17.040(8)).

CONDUCT OF HEARINGS A. Actions for a Planning Commission Public Hearing. 1. Prior to the start of the public hearing, the Chair may require that all persons wishing to be heard shall sign in with the Secretary, giving their names and addresses, the agenda item, and whether they wish to speak as proponent, opponent, or otherwise. Any person who fails to sign in shall not be permitted to speak until all those who signed in have done so. At any public hearing, persons who have signed in and wish to be heard shall be given an opportunity to be heard. However, the Chair shall be authorized to establish speaker time limits and otherwise control presentations to avoid repetition. The Chair, subject to concurrence by the majority of the Commission, may establish time limits and otherwise control presentations. The Chair may change the order of speakers so that testimony is heard in the most logical groupings, (i.e., proponents, opponents, adjacent owners, vested interests, etc.) B. The Chair introduces the agenda item, opens the public hearing, and announces the following Rules of Order: 1. All comments by proponents, opponents, or the public shall be made from the speaker's rostrum, and any individual making comments shall first give his/her name and address. This is required because an official recorded transcript of the public hearing is being made. 2. It is not necessary to be a proponent or opponent in order to speak. If you consider yourself neither a proponent nor opponent, please speak during the proponent portion and identify yourself as neither a proponent nor an opponent. 3. No comments shall be made from any other location, and anyone making "out of order" comments shall be subject to removal from the meeting. 4. Demonstrations, applause or other audience participation during or at the conclusion of anyone's presentation are prohibited. It is distracting to the Commission and persons testifying. 4 5. These rules are intended to promote an orderly system of holding a public hearing, to give persons an opportunity to be heard and to ensure that individuals are not embarrassed by exercising their right of free speech. C. When the Commission conducts a hearing to which the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine applies, the Chair (or in the case of a potential violation by that individual, the Vice Chair) will ask if any Commission member knows of any reason which would require such member to excuse themselves pursuant to the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine. The form of the announcement is as follows: All Commission members should now give consideration as to whether they have: (1) A demonstrated bias or prejudice for or against any party to the proceedings; (2) A direct or indirect financial interest in the outcome of the proceeding; (3) A prejudgment of the issue prior to hearing the facts on the record, or (4) Had ex parte contact with any individual, excluding administrative staff, with regard to an issue prior to the hearing. Please refer to Section 16(B) for more specific information on how to proceed where there has been an ex parte communication. If any Commission member should answer in the affirmative, then the Commission members should state the reason for his/her answer so that the Chair may inquire of administration as to whether a violation of the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine exists. CONDUCTING THE PUBLIC HEARING The Chair announces the matter and opens the public hearing stating the date and time. The Chair allows staff to describe the matter under consideration and place matters in the public record. The Chair inquires as to whether Commissioners have any questions of staff. If any Commission member has questions, the appropriate individual will be recalled. The Chair allows proponents, opponents and the public to offer testimony and evidence on the pending matter. The Chair may allow Commission members to ask questions of any person at the conclusion of their testimony. 5 At the conclusion of the public testimony, the Chair asks staff if there is any additional information, testimony or evidence to submit for the record. The Chair either closes or continues the public hearing. Additional testimony may not be requested or considered after the closing of the public hearing, unless the Chair declares the record open until a date certain for the purpose of receiving written testimony or materials. The Chair inquires if there is a motion by any Commission member. If a motion is made, it shall be in the form of an affirmative motion. Following the motion and its second, discussion occurs among Commission members. The Chair inquires if there is any further discussion by the Commission members. The Chair inquires if there are any final comments or recommendations from staff. The Chair inquires of the Commission members if they are ready for the question. The Secretary records a roll call vote. The Chair may direct staff to prepare findings for approval. D. Pre-filing of testimony or evidence is encouraged and may be delivered to the Department of Community Development in advance of a hearing. 10. Agenda, Staff Reports and Minutes for Regular Meetings. A. Typically, a copy of the agenda for every regular meeting of the Planning Commission shall be sent to each member up to seven (7) days prior to the date of the meeting. B. If available, staff reports will be sent to Planning Commission members with the agenda. Agendas and staff reports will be made available to applicants and the public at the same time. 11. Minutes and Communications with the City Council. A Minutes of all meetings shall be kept and the complete files of proceedings and actions taken in connection therewith shall be considered the public record and filed with the City Clerk. 6 The Secretary shall provide the Commission members with a set of minutes of the previous meeting. These minutes shall be considered for approval by the Commission at a regularly scheduled public meeting and upon approval shall become part of the official record of action of the Commission. Minutes shall also be transmitted as correspondence to the City Council for general information.
