The following provisions shall govern the issuance of conditional use permits for towers and antennas by the Planning and Zoning Commission:

(A) If a conditional use permit is required it shall be processed in accordance with SLCC 18.15.040.

(B) In granting a conditional use permit the Commission may impose conditions to the extent such conditions are necessary to minimize adverse effects of the proposed tower or antenna on adjoining properties, and to blend with other similar vertical objects and not be intrusive in its setting or obtrusive to views and the surrounding landscape.

(C) When a use permit is granted for a co-location on a facility with an existing use permit, the action of granting the new use permit shall extend the existing use permit so that they will expire simultaneously.

(D) Upon compliance with the requirements of this chapter and stipulations of the conditional use permit, the Building Safety Division shall issue a permit for the installation of the PWSF and/or antenna to be installed per the approved application.

(E) The review of all telecommunication devices shall comply with the Telecommunications Act of 1996. This federal legislation established certain standards for local review of various types of antennas and other communication devices. Local governments may consider standards such as height, appearance, screening, stealth design, planting, and public safety issues (other than radiation). The local government may not discriminate between service providers, prohibit wireless services or have the effect of prohibiting wireless services, regulate on the basis of electromagnetic radiation if the facility complies with FCC standards, make land use decisions without substantial evidence and a written record of the proceedings, or unreasonably delay decision making on proposed applications.
