[Ord. No. 06-43 § 21-1016.8; Ord. No. 08-02 § 21-1016.8]
In order to provide evidence that the proposed location of the proposed wireless telecommunications structures, antennas, equipment and/or towers have been planned to result in the fewest number of tower locations within the Township at the time full service is provided by the applicant throughout the Township, the applicant shall provide an overall comprehensive plan indicating how it intends to provide full service throughout the Township and, to the extent reasonably practicable, shall indicate how its plan specifically relates to and is coordinated with the needs of all other providers of cellular communications services within the Township. The overall comprehensive plan shall indicate the following:
a. Documentary evidence regarding the need for new wireless telecommunications antennas within the Township with due consideration given to the Township population. This information shall identify the wireless network layout and coverage area to demonstrate the need for new equipment at a specific location within the Township as well as future plans for applicant's expansion to the extent reasonably foreseeable.
b. Documentary evidence that bona fide attempts have been made to locate the antennas on existing buildings or structures. Such evidence shall include a radio frequency engineering analysis of the potential suitability of existing buildings or structures in the search area for such antennas. Efforts to secure such locations shall be documented through correspondence between the wireless telecommunications provider and the property owner of the existing buildings or structures and statements under oath by the applicant.
c. Document the locations of all existing communication towers and/or antennas within the Township and surrounding areas with coverage in the Township and provide competent testimony by a radio frequency expert regarding the suitability of potential locations in light of the design of the wireless telecommunications network. Where a suitable location on an existing tower is found to exist in the zoning districts delineated in subsection
21-1016.4, but an applicant is unable to secure an agreement to collocate its equipment on such tower, the applicant shall provide credible written evidence of correspondence with the owner of such tower and statements under oath verifying that suitable space is not available on the existing tower.
d. Explain how the proposed location of the proposed antennas relates geographically to the location of any existing towers within and near the Township of Piscataway.
e. Explain how the proposed location of the proposed antennas relates to the anticipated need for additional antennae and supporting towers within and near the Township by the applicant and by other providers of cellular communication services within the Township to the extent such information is not proprietary and can be obtained with reasonable effort.
f. Explain how the proposed location of the proposed antennas relates to the objective of collocating the antennas of many different providers of cellular communication services on the same tower.
g. Explain how the proposed location of the proposed antennas relates to the overall objective of providing full cellular communication services within the Township while, at the same time, limiting the number of towers to the extent reasonably practicable.
