This section is included in your selections.

A. For co-locations not exempt under MMC 17.55.030(E), in order to encourage shared use of towers, monopoles, or other facilities for the attachment of WCF, no conditional use permit shall be required for the co-location and addition of equipment, provided that:

1. There is no change to the type of tower or pole.

2. All co-located WCF shall be designed in such a way as to be visually compatible with the structures on which they are placed.

3. All co-located WCF must comply with the conditions and concealment elements of the original tower, pole, or other facility upon which it is co-locating.

4. All accessory equipment shall be located within the existing enclosure, shall not result in any exterior changes to the enclosure and, in Residential zones and the Downtown Design District, shall not include any additional above grade equipment structures.

5. Co-location on an alternative support structure in a Residential zone or the Downtown Design District shall require a stealth design.

6. The equipment shall not disturb, or will mitigate any disturbed, existing landscaping elements according to that required in a landscape plan previously approved by the Landscape Review Committee. If no such plan exists, a new landscape plan for the affected area must be submitted to and reviewed by the Landscape Review Committee prior to installation of the subject facility.

7. Placement of the equipment does not entail excavation or deployment outside of the site of the current facility where co-location is proposed.

8. A building permit shall be required for such alterations or additions. Documentation shall be provided by an Oregon-licensed Professional engineer verifying that changes or additions to the tower structure will not adversely affect the structural integrity of the tower.

9. Additional Application Requirements for Co-Location.

a. A copy of the site plan approved for the original tower, pole, or other base station facility, to which the co-location is proposed.

b. A detailed site plan as part of a set of drawings stamped by a registered architect or professional engineer delineating development on-the-ground is consistent with the approved site plan.
