§ 601 Purpose.

[Ord. No. 294, 9/23/2019]

The purpose of this chapter is to establish reliable standards for the siting, design, permitting, construction, operation, inspection, maintenance, repair, modification, removal and replacement of wireless communications facilities in recognition of the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104-104, 110 Stat. 56 (1996); the Federal Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (Spectrum Act), Pub. L. No. 112-96, 126 Stat. 156 (2012), and FCC regulations promulgated thereunder by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), including the FCC's Report and Order of October 21, 2014, FCC 14-153 (rel. Oct. 21, 2014); and the Pennsylvania Wireless Broadband Collocation Act (WBCA) (Act 191 of 2012), 53 P.S. § 11702.1 et seq., in Mountville Borough (Borough). Moreover, the Borough desires to plan and accommodate for the managed deployment of infrastructure that is necessary to accommodate the wireless communications needs of the Borough's residents, businesses and emergency service providers. While the Borough recognizes the benefit of wireless communications facilities in providing high-quality communications service and enhancement to its residents, businesses, and emergency service providers, the Borough also recognizes that it has an obligation to protect public safety through the standards set forth in the following provisions.

Vehicular Access.

An access driveway and one off-street parking space shall be provided to ensure adequate emergency and service access to all tower-based WCFs located outside of the right-of-way.

Maximum use of existing roads, whether public or private, shall be made to the extent practicable.

Where possible, access driveway construction shall at all times minimize ground disturbance and the cutting of vegetation.

Access driveway grades shall closely follow natural contours to assure minimal visual disturbance and minimize soil erosion but shall not exceed required grades for a local road.

An applicant shall present documentation to the Borough that the property owner has granted an access easement for the proposed WCF, if located on a lot or property.

Any required access easement shall be a minimum of 20 feet in width and the access driveway, if connected to a public street, shall be improved for the first 25 feet to a width of at least 10 feet wide with asphalt. The remainder of the driveway shall consist of a dust-free, all-weather surface, including gravel, to a width of at least 10 feet throughout its entire length.

Required parking space shall be a minimum of 10 feet wide by 20 feet long.

Vehicular access to all WCFs shall not interfere with the parking or vehicular circulations for a principal use, if located on the lot or property. However, where appropriate and available, existing parking for the principal or other uses on the lot or property may be utilized.

Access to all tower-based WCFs from a Pennsylvania Department of Transportation-owned road shall be authorized by a new or existing highway occupancy permit.

Fencing. A security fence, which may include barbed wire, with a minimum height of eight feet shall be required to surround any tower-based WCF located outside the right-of-way, where the tower is more than 40 feet in height, including guy wires, associated equipment, and buildings.

[Ord. No. 294, 9/23/2019]

Stealth Technology. In the Town Center and Commercial Zoning Districts, and on all municipal-owned property, all WCFs shall employ the most current stealth technology available to blend the proposed WCF into the surrounding man-made and/or natural environment and minimize aesthetic impact. Equipment buildings and cabinets shall be designed to blend into the man-made and/or natural environment in which they are situated.

Landscaping and Screening. An applicant for tower-based WCF where the new tower is more than 40 feet in height, located outside of the right-of-way, shall submit a landscaping and screening design including the following:

The applicant shall ensure that the existing vegetation, trees and shrubs located within proximity to the WCF support structure shall be preserved to the extent practicable.

Ground-mounted equipment shall be screened from public view using an evergreen screen, artificial screen, or fencing, as directed by Borough.

If an evergreen buffer is accepted by the Borough, such buffer material shall be a minimum six feet high at time of planting, and shall be spaced in accordance with standards for the chosen specie.

§ 606 Replacement, Co-Location, or Modification.

[Ord. No. 294, 9/23/2019]

Notwithstanding the requirements for all tower-based WCFs and WCFs on existing structures, as set forth in this section, an application for replacement, co-location or modification of a previously approved wireless support structure or WCF shall be reviewed for conformance with the Borough building permit requirements, including requirements applicable to the added structural loading of the proposed antennas and accessory equipment. These previously approved facilities shall not be subject to the issuance of new zoning or land use approvals, provided that there is no substantial change.

Replacement of WCFs on existing wireless support structures or within existing equipment compounds may be performed by the applicant without obtaining building permit from the Borough. As part of the zoning permit application review, the applicant shall submit a structural analysis report, sealed by a PA registered engineer.

Any substantial change to an existing tower-based WCF shall require approval of the Borough in accordance with the terms of this section.

Mounting. An applicant proposing a WCF on existing structure to be mounted on a building or any other structure shall submit detailed construction and elevation drawings indicating how the WCF on existing structure will be mounted on the existing structure for review by the Borough building code official for compliance with the building code.
