(1) It is the policy of Tooele County that
location of two or more antennas on a single wireless telecommunication facility should be encouraged as the primary option for applicants, rather than installation of single use wireless telecommunication facilities.
(2) Collocation of an antenna on an existing
TOOELE COUNTY LAND USE ORDINANCE – CHAPTER 28
wireless telecommunication facility shall be addressed as part of the conditional use permit application. The applicant shall also submit proof of each proposed carrier's current license from the Federal Communications Commission to operate as a telecommunications carrier.
(3) All applications for new wireless telecommunication facilities submitted after the effective date of this chapter shall be for facilities designed and constructed to be of sufficient size and capacity to accommodate two or more antennas, unless otherwise approved by the planning commission for conditional uses. Conditional use approval may include a condition that the applicant allows collocation for other personal wireless providers on such terms as are common in the industry.
(4) Each applicant shall make a good faith effort to seek collocation on existing antenna structures. All applications for new wireless telecommunication facilities submitted after the effective date of this chapter shall provide the reason or reasons why collocation on an existing structure is not feasible.
(5) (a) An application for a conditional use permit to construct a wireless telecommunication facility with a single antenna shall not be approved by the planning commission, unless the applicant presents evidence showing that collocation is not feasible, or that the applicant undertook reasonable efforts seeking collocation.
(b) A wireless telecommunication facility capable of supporting two or more antennas may be approved with a single antenna, provided the applicant shows that there is a reasonable likelihood that other antennas will be located on that facility in the future. (Ord.2005-30, 11/22/05)
