(1) The shared use of existing PWSF structures or other structures shall be preferred to the construction of new PWSF structures. Any PWSF permit or site plan or special permit application, renewal or modification thereof shall include proof that reasonable efforts have been made to co-locate on an existing PWSF structure or upon another existing structure.
(2) The application shall include an adequate inventory report specifying existing PWSF sites and any structures (except one-family dwellings, two-family dwellings, multiple residences, and accessory structures associated with such dwellings and multiple residences) within a one-mile radius of the proposed facility. The inventory report shall contain an evaluation of opportunities for shared use as an alternative to the proposed location, along with a map showing the location of each site inventoried, the heights of the PWSF structures, and the heights of other structures on the sites of the inventoried locations.
(3) The applicant must demonstrate that the proposed PWSF cannot be accommodated on existing PWSFs in the inventory due to one or more of the following reasons:
(a) The planned equipment would exceed the structural capacity of existing and approved PWSFs or other structures, considering existing and reasonably anticipated future use for those facilities and other structures.
(b) The planned equipment would cause radio frequency interference with other existing or planned equipment which cannot be reasonably prevented.
(c) The planned equipment would cause an exceedance of FCC RF exposure limits which cannot be reasonably prevented.
(d) Existing or approved PWSFs or other structures do not have space and cannot be modified to provide space on which proposed equipment can be placed so it can function effectively and reasonably.
(e) Other technical reasons make it impracticable to place the equipment proposed by the applicant on existing PWSFs or other structures.
(f) The property owner or owner of the existing PWSF or other structure fails to reach agreement after negotiating in good faith to allow such co-location.
