§ 12.22.070. Additional findings required for wireless telecommunications facilities.

No permit shall be granted for any wireless telecommunications facility if the following additional findings cannot be made by the director:

A.

The applicant has demonstrated, by way of a justification study, the rationale for selecting the proposed use, a detailed explanation of the coverage gap that the proposed use would serve, and how the proposed use is the least intrusive means for the applicant to provide wireless service.

B.

The applicant has posted a performance bond or other security in an amount rationally related to the cost of removal, based on the director's determination.

C.

The wireless telecommunications facility will not result in levels of radio frequency emissions that exceed Federal Communications Commission standards, including, but not limited to, FCC Office of Engineering Technology (OET) Bulletin 65, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields, as amended. Additionally, if the director determines the wireless telecommunications facility, as constructed, may emit radio frequency emissions that are likely to exceed Federal Communications Commission uncontrolled/general population standards in the FCC Office of Engineering Technology (OET) Bulletin 65, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields, as amended, in areas accessible by the general population, the director may require post-installation testing to determine whether to require further mitigation of radio frequency emissions. Applications for amateur radio antennas or antennas installed for home entertainment purposes are exempt from this requirement.
