Woodland Park City Zoning Code
§ 22-43.7
Co-Location Requirements.
a.
The Borough 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 co-locate with other carriers. A showing of such good faith shall require and include, but not be limited to, the following:
1.
A survey of all existing structures that may be feasible sites for co-locating personal wireless service facilities;
2.
Proof of notification by certified mail of intent to seek site plan approval to all other licensed carriers for commercial mobile radio services operating in the County;
3.
Evidence of a sharing of information necessary to determine if co-location is feasible under the design configuration most accommodating to co-location; and
4.
A copy of a proposed lease or affidavit of compliance with this section.
b.
In the event that co-location 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 whether co-location at the site is unfeasible, or is feasible, given the design configuration most accommodating to co-location. The cost(s) of any such technical expert shall be paid by the applicant. The Borough may deny approval to an applicant that has not demonstrated a good faith effort to provide for co-location.
c.
Any applicant who intends to co-locate, or to permit co-location, pursuant to the Borough's requirement for co-location whenever possible, must submit plans and elevations which show the ultimate appearance and operation of the personal wireless service facility at full build-out.
