. unless the City Council finds that the telecommunications <br />equipment planned for the proposed tower cannot be <br />accommodated on an existing or approved tower or building <br />within a one -mile search radius (one half mile search <br />radius for towers under 120 feet in height, one quarter <br />mile search radius for towers under 80 feet in height) of <br />the proposed tower due to one or more of the following <br />reasons: <br />a) The planned equipment would exceed the structural <br />capacity of the existing or approved tower or <br />building, as documented by a qualified and licensed <br />professional engineer, and the existing or approved <br />tower cannot be reinforced, modified, or replaced to <br />accommodate planned or equivalent equipment at <br />a reasonable.cost. <br />b) The planned equipment would cause interference <br />materially impacting the usability of other existing <br />or planned equipment at the tower or building as <br />documented by a qualified and licensed professional <br />engineer and the interference cannot be prevented at <br />a reasonable cost. <br />c) Existing or approved towers and buildings within <br />the search radius cannot accommodate the planned <br />equipment at a height necessary to function <br />reasonably as documented by a qualified and licensed <br />professional engineer. <br />d) Other unforeseen reasons that make it infeasible to <br />locate the planned telecommunications equipment upon <br />an existing or approved tower or building. <br />2) Any proposed commercial wireless telecommunication <br />service tower shall be designed, structurally, <br />electrically, and in all respects, to accommodate both <br />the applicant's antennas and comparable antennas for at <br />least two additional users if the tower is over 100 feet <br />in height or for at least one additional user if the <br />tower is over 60 feet in height. Towers must be designed <br />to allow for future rearrangement of antennas upon the <br />tower and to accept antennas mounted at varying height. <br />(Bloomington, MN) <br />Since the number of opportunities to construct a free- <br />standing tower is limited by this ordinance, the applicant <br />should demonstrate to the satisfaction of the city council <br />that opportunities will be made available for co -locating <br />other antenna on the structure.
