§ 10.11. Shared use of Wireless Telecommunications Facilities and other structures.

(A)

The county, as opposed to the construction of a new tower, requires wireless facilities to be located on existing towers or other suitable structures without increasing the height of the tower or structure, unless such is proven to be technologically impracticable. The applicant shall submit a comprehensive report inventorying all existing towers and other suitable structures within one mile of the location of any proposed new tower, unless the applicant can show that some other distance is more appropriate and reasonable and demonstrate conclusively why an existing tower or other suitable structure cannot be used.

(B)

An applicant intending to locate on an existing tower or other suitable structure shall be required to document the intent of the existing owner to permit its use by the applicant.

(C)

Such shared use shall consist only of the minimum antenna array technologically required to provide service primarily and essentially within the county, to the extent practicable, unless good cause is shown.
