[Amended 4-18-2017 by L.L. No. 3-2017]
(1)
Requirements for approval. No application for a non-co-located or
new structure antenna, regardless of whether such antenna is a DAS/microcell,
shall be considered complete unless and until the applicant shall
have submitted a report that establishes to the satisfaction of the
Village of Johnson City Planning Board the following:
(a)
That the applicant is required to provide service to locations
which it is not able to serve through existing facilities which are
located either within or outside of the Village, showing the specific
locations and/or areas the applicant is seeking to serve.
(b)
The report shall set forth an inventory of existing facilities
and/or structures, within or outside of the Village, which might be
utilized or modified in order to provide coverage to the locations
the applicant is seeking to serve and shall include a report on the
possibilities and opportunities for co-location as an alternative
to a new site.
(c)
The applicant must demonstrate that the proposed facility cannot
be accommodated on any such existing facility or structure either
within or outside of the Village due to one or more of the following
reasons:
[1]
The proposed equipment would exceed the existing reasonable
potential structural capacity of existing facilities or structures
within or outside of the Village, considering existing and planned
use for those facilities or structures.
[2]
The existing or proposed equipment would cause interference
with other existing or proposed equipment that could not reasonably
be mitigated or prevented.
[3]
Said existing facilities or structures do not have space on
which the proposed equipment can be placed so it can function effectively
and reasonably, and/or the applicant has not been able, following
good faith efforts, to reach an agreement with the owner(s) of such
facilities or structures.
[4]
Other reasons which make it impractical to locate or place the
proposed equipment on said facilities or structures.
(2)
Bulk requirements.
(a)
Non-co-located or new structure antennas, other than DAS/microcells.
In all residential zoning districts, including the PUD District, new
or relocated towers and antennas shall be set back from all property
lines a minimum distance equal to their height (measured from their
base) plus 100 feet and in all other zoning districts a minimum distance
equal to their height (measured from their base). The towers shall
also be set back a minimum distance equal to their height from all
power lines. The Planning Board may require an additional setback
area in the case of guy wires, taking into consideration the length
of the guy wires and the location of ground anchors.
(b)
DAS/microcells. In residential districts, setbacks from all
property lines should be equal to 1/2 the height of the structure.
In commercial and industrial districts, the setbacks from all property
lines shall be 1/3 the height of the structure. If placed within a
public right-of-way, setback of structures should be determined by
acceptable engineering practices. The Planning Board may require an
additional setback area in the case of guy wires, taking into consideration
the length of the guy wires and the location of ground anchors.
(3)
Tower special use permit required. For all new, relocated or replacement
towers and antennas, including DAS/microcells that do not meet the
definition of a co-located/existing structure antenna, a tower special
use permit shall be required.

(7)
For sites in close proximity to significant historical sites or important
preservation/conservation areas, the Village will request additional
site plans and tower special use permit requirements. These requirements
can include specially designed towers, additional screening, greater
setbacks and improved landscaping. Siting in these areas should be
avoided to the maximum extent possible.
(8)
Upon issuance of a tower special use permit by the Village of Johnson
City Planning and Zoning Boards, the applicant will apply to the Johnson
City Planning Board for site plan review and, upon approval, to the
Village of Johnson City for a building permit.
A.
The following criteria will be considered by the Village prior to
the approval/denial of a request for a tower special use permit. The
criteria listed may be used as a basis to impose reasonable conditions
on the applicant. Tower special use permits are not assignable and
nontransferable, except upon approval by resolution of the Village
of Johnson City Zoning Board.
B.
The Village may express a preference for an alternative site(s) and/or
that the proposed telecommunications facility be located in a higher-intensity-use
district or on higher-intensity-use property, provided that there
is a technologically feasible and available location. A guideline
for the Village's preference, from most desirable to least desirable
zoning district/property, is as follows:
(1)
Property with an existing structure suitable for collocation.
(2)
Municipal or government-owned property.
(3)
Industrial (IN) or General Commercial (GC) Zoning Districts.
(4)
Neighborhood Commercial (NC) and Central Business (CB) Zoning Districts.
(5)
Commercial Office (CO) Zoning District, and any over lay districts.
(6)
Rural Residential (RR), Urban Single-Family (USF), Suburban Single-Family
(SSF), Urban Two-Family (UTF), Urban Multifamily (UMF) and Suburban
Multifamily (SMF) Zoning Districts.
(7)
Sites which are in close proximity to significant historic sites
and/or important preservation/conservation areas.
C.
Any request by the Village for information or technical analysis
on a preferred alternate site shall be provided by the applicant at
its sole cost and shall not unreasonably delay the application.
D.
Aesthetics. Telecommunications facilities shall be located and buffered
to the maximum extent that is practical and technologically feasible
to help ensure compatibility with surrounding land uses. In order
to minimize any adverse aesthetic effect on neighboring residences
to the extent possible, the Village of Johnson City Planning Board
may impose reasonable conditions on the applicant, including, but
not limited to, the following:
(1)
Tower height, including antennas, and design are matters of primary
public concern. The Board may require a monopole or guyed tower (if
sufficient land is available to the applicant) instead of a freestanding
tower. Monopoles are a preferred design. The Board may impose reasonable
restrictions and/or conditions on height. For example, the Board may
reasonably determine that adverse impact upon the community will be
best mitigated by requiring the applicant to construct multiple towers
of lower height at several different locations to meet the applicant's
demonstrated service coverage requirement(s) or that the tower height
be reduced in the future if the applicant is unable to demonstrate
a continuing need for the approval height in light of changes in the
applicant's service coverage needs or technological advances.
(2)
The Board may require reasonable landscaping consisting of trees
or shrubs to screen the base of the tower and antennas and/or to screen
the tower and any accessory structure or buildings to the extent possible
from adjacent residential property. Existing on-site trees and vegetation
shall be preserved to the maximum extent possible.
(3)
The Board may require the applicant to show that it has made good-faith
efforts to collocate on existing towers or other available and appropriate
structures and/or to construct new towers near existing towers in
an effort to consolidate visual disturbances. However, such request
shall not unreasonably delay the application.
(4)
The type of finish, color and lighting shall be subject to Village
and/or Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval. The Village
may require lights to be shielded to minimize ground visual impact.
(5)
No tower shall contain any signs or advertising devices. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Board may require appropriate signage indicating
ownership of the facility and phone numbers to call in case of emergency.
(6)
The applicant must submit a copy of its policy regarding collocation
on the proposed tower with other potential future applicants. Such
policy should allow collocation under the following conditions:
(a)
The new antenna(s) and equipment do not exceed structural loading
requirements, interfere with Village space used or to be used by the
applicant or pose any technical or radio frequency interference with
existing equipment.
(b)
The party desiring to collocate pays the applicant an appropriate
and reasonable sum to collocate.
(c)
The party desiring to collocate has a similar policy of collocation
for the applicant.
(7)
All other uses ancillary to the antenna and associated equipment
(including a business office, maintenance depot, vehicle storage,
etc.) are prohibited from the site unless otherwise permitted in the
zoning district in which the facility is located.
E.
Radio frequency; inspections.
(1)
The Village of Johnson City Planning Board shall impose a condition
on the applicant that the communications antenna will be operated
only at Federal Communication Commission (FCC) designated frequencies
and power levels and/or Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) technical
exposure limits and may periodically require that the applicant provide
competent documentation to support that maximum allowable frequencies,
power levels and exposure limits for radiation will not be exceeded.
(2)
Unless otherwise preempted by federal or state law, the telecommunications
facility shall be inspected every two years, at the applicant's
expense, for radio emissions, and a copy of the report shall be promptly
delivered to the Building Inspector. A licensed professional engineer
specializing in electrical engineering with expertise in radio communications
facilities shall perform radio emission inspections. The radio emission
inspection shall describe the power density levels of the electromagnetic
energy generated from the facility, including the cumulative effects
of collocated antennas. In the event that the radio emission inspection
indicates that the electromagnetic energy generated from the facility
is above the allowable limits stated with applicable FCC or ANSI standards
or other applicable federal or state guidelines in effect at the time
of inspection, the applicant shall cease all use of the facility until
such time as it proves, to the satisfaction of the Building Inspector
or pertinent Village consultant, that the power density levels of
the electromagnetic energy to be generated at the facility are below
the applicable standards.
F.
Traffic, access, and safety.
(1)
A road turnaround and one parking space shall be provided to assure
adequate year-round emergency and service access. Maximum use of existing
roads, public or private, shall be made. The use of public roadways
or road rights-of-way for the siting of a tower or antenna(s) accessory
structures is prohibited.
(2)
All towers and ground anchors, if applicable, shall be enclosed by
a fence not less than eight feet in height and otherwise sufficiently
protected from trespassing or vandalism.
(3)
The applicant must comply with all applicable state and federal regulations,
including, but not limited to, FAA and FCC regulations, and from time
to time may be required to provide certification of such compliance.
(4)
All towers and antennas shall include anticlimbing devices for a
minimum of 25 feet extending above ground level.
G.
Removal of tower.
(1)
The applicant shall agree to remove the tower and antenna if the
telecommunications facility becomes obsolete or ceases to be used
for its intended purpose for 12 consecutive months. The Village of
Johnson City Planning Board shall require the applicant to provide
an appropriate and adequate demolition bond for the purpose of removing
the telecommunications facility and restoration of the land in case
the applicant fails to do so as required above.
(2)
The sufficiency of the demolition bond shall be confirmed at least
every five years by analysis and report of the cost of removal and
property restoration, which is to be performed by a licensed professional
engineer, the cost of same to be borne by the applicant. If the said
analysis and report determines that the amount of the bond in force
is insufficient to cover the removal, disposal and restoration costs,
the bond shall be increased to the amount necessary to cover such
costs within 10 days of the applicant's receipt of such report.
H.
Structural safety.
(1)
During the application process and after construction of the tower,
the applicant shall provide a certification from a qualified licensed
professional engineer, certifying that the tower and antennas meet
applicable New York State and ANSI structural safety standards.
(2)
Unless otherwise preempted by federal or state law, the telecommunications
facility shall be inspected every two years, at the applicant's
expense, for structural integrity. A copy of the report shall be promptly
delivered to the Building Inspector. A licensed professional engineer
specializing in structural engineering shall perform the structural
inspection. The structural inspection report shall describe the structural
integrity of the facility, maintenance issues and repairs needed or
made, if any. In the event that the structural inspection indicates
structural deficiencies, then the deficiencies must be remedied within
the time reasonably set by the Building Inspector. Upon the applicant's
failure to do so, the permit may be revoked.
I.
Maintenance of telecommunications facility. All telecommunications
facilities shall be maintained in good order and repair. The Village
may require that reasonable records of such maintenance be kept and
available for Village review upon request.
Exemptions are as follows:
A.

in commercial and industrial districts and satellite antennas one
meter or less in diameter regardless of location.
A.
In the event of any conflicts or inconsistencies between this chapter
and any other local law, including the Zoning Law, this article is
meant to control for telecommunications towers and similar facilities
in the Village unless otherwise specifically referenced in this article.
B.
In the event that there is a change in technology that alters the
use of the telecommunications facilities cited pursuant to this chapter,
the Village reserves the right to require a new application to be
submitted, which complies with the above requisites, from all owners
of such telecommunications facilities.
