§ 19-12A.7
Collocation.
a.
The Borough of Point Pleasant Beach requires that licensed carriers share personal wireless service facilities and sites where feasible and appropriate, thereby reducing the number of personal wireless service facilities that are stand-alone facilities. All applicants for site plan approval for a personal wireless service facility shall demonstrate a good-faith effort to collocate with other carriers. Such good-faith effort includes:
1.
A survey of all existing structures that may be feasible sites for collocating personal wireless service facilities;
2.
Notification by certified mail of intent to seek site plan approval to all the other licensed carriers for commercial mobile radio services operating in the county;
3.
Sharing information necessary to determine if collocation is feasible under the design configuration most accommodating to collocation; and
4.
A copy of a proposed lease or affidavit of compliance with this section.
b.
In the event that collocation is found to be not technically feasible, a written statement of the reasons for the infeasibility shall be submitted to the Borough. The Borough may retain a technical expert in the field of RF engineering to verify if collocation at the site is not feasible or is feasible given the design configuration most accommodating to the collocation. The cost for such a technical expert will be at the expense of the applicant. The Borough may deny approval to an applicant that has not demonstrated a good-faith effort to provide for collocation.
c.
If the applicant intends to collocate or to permit collocation, plans and elevations, which show the ultimate appearance and operation of the personal wireless service facility at full build-out shall be submitted.
