SECTION 2.00: TYPE OF WIRELESS FACILITIES APPLICATION FOR PURPOSES OF FEDERAL LAW: SECTION 332(C)(7) OR SECTION 6409(A).

The type of wireless facility Project determines the review time under federal law for the City to act in deciding to grant or deny a permit. The three possible City review periods, depending on type of project, are:

•

150 days is the default, but rebuttable presumptive time for the City to review and act on all new wireless facility sites and projects that do not qualify as either a Section 322 (c) (7) "collocation" on an existing tower or a Section 6409 (a) modification to an "eligible" existing tower or existing base station.

•

90 days is the default, but rebuttable presumptive time for the City to review and act on a Section 322 (c) (7) "collocation" on an existing tower, when supported by complete documentation submitted with the application.

•

60 days is the time allowed for the City to review and act on a Section 6409 (a) "eligible facilities request" for modification of an existing tower or existing base station, when supported by complete documentation submitted with the application.

Both a Section 322 (c) (7) "collocation" on an existing tower and a Section 6409 (a) modification to eligible an existing tower or existing base station have detailed restrictions to qualify. If the Applicant is asserting that the Project qualifies for either of those two types of projects, complete the below questions, and provide the requested information in full to avoid a delay in you application's review for incompleteness.

The City review times start when the application is filed, but can be tolled (not counted) if the application is incomplete. Section 332 (c) (7) presumptive times are rebuttal by the City, and the City does not waive, but reserves its right to rebut those times as not reasonable under the circumstances.

All of the City review times may be extended by the Applicant, with mutual, written agreement 30 day review for completeness of the application for purposes of the City review period:

If the City determines the application is incomplete it will provide written notice to the Applicant within 30 days of filing of the application that the application is incomplete, detailing the missing information and citing where that information was required. The remaining time for the City to review the application does not start again until the supplemental information has been provided to the City in full.

For the maps and drawings required, the following standards apply in the City's determination of completeness. The size of each submitted map, drawing, Project elevation renderings and/or photographs and photo simulations must be no smaller than 11" by 8.5." Each must use the same streets names and legends.

Please provide following information in complete detail:

2.01: Presumption that the Application is for a project that does not qualify as either a Section 322 (c) (7) "collocation" on an existing tower or a Section 6409 (a) "eligible facility" modification to an existing tower or base station: The City will conclusively presume that the Application's Project is neither a collocation project qualified under Section 322 (c) (7) nor is it an "eligible facility" request for modification under Section 6409 (a), unless the Applicant clearly asserts that it is, providing the below requested information in Section 2.02 or Section 2.03, as applicable, in full and in complete detail. If the above presumption is not correct, complete Section 2.02 or Section 2.03, as applicable.

2.02: 47 U.S.C. § Section 332 (c) (7) collocation project: If the Applicant asserts that this Project is eligible and fully qualifies as a 47 U.S.C. § 332 (c) (7) collocation project request as defined in FCC 2009 Declaratory Ruling attach:

□

A Section 332 (c) (7) "collocation" project is one that does not "substantial increase in the size of a tower". 2009 Declaratory Ruling, footnote 146 states that a "substantial increase in the size of a tower" occurs when:(1) [t]he mounting of the proposed antenna on the tower would increase the existing height of the tower by more than 10%, or by the height of one additional antenna array with separation from the nearest existing antenna not to exceed twenty feet, whichever is greater, except that the mounting of the proposed antenna may exceed the size limits set forth in this paragraph if necessary to avoid interference with existing antennas; or (2) [t]he mounting of the proposed antenna would involve the installation of more than the standard number of new equipment cabinets for the technology involved, not to exceed four, or more than one new equipment shelter; or (3) [t]he mounting of the proposed antenna would involve adding an appurtenance to the body of the tower that would protrude from the edge of the tower more than twenty feet, or more than the width of the tower structure at the level of the appurtenance, whichever is greater, except that the mounting of the proposed antenna may exceed the size limits set forth in this paragraph if necessary to shelter the antenna from inclement weather or to connect the antenna to the tower via cable; or (4) [t]he mounting of the proposed antenna would involve excavation outside the current tower site, defined as the current boundaries of the leased or owned property surrounding the tower and any access or utility easements currently related to the site."
