Mount Arlington City Zoning Code
§ 17-35A.2
Proof of Need and Minimum Impact.
The applicant shall be required to demonstrate that the development is the minimal necessary to provide adequate communications as may be authorized by the Federal Communications Commission. Included as part of this requirement, the applicant shall demonstrate at least, but not necessarily limited to, the following:
a.
That the technology proposed is the least visually intrusive of various suitable technologies;
b.
That the height of the antennas is the minimum necessary;
c.
That co-location of the antenna on other existing antenna structures, or that location at a less visible location, or that the use of microcells, providing more numerous antennas at lower heights, either within or outside the Borough of Mount Arlington, is either not practical in order to provide adequate communication or that the visual impact to the community on the proposed site is less than would exist at such alternative locations; and
d.
That the use of digital technology for other existing and pending antennas in the area would not eliminate the need for the proposed antenna.
