2. FACTORS CONSIDERED IN GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS FOR TOWERS. In <br />determining whether to issue a conditional use permit, the Board of Adjustments shall consider, in addition <br />to any other standards in this Ordinance governing conditional use permits, the following factors: <br />6. The applicant demonstrates that there are other limiting factors that render existing towers and structures <br />unsuitable. <br />A. Height of the proposed tower; <br />B. Proximity of the tower to residential structures and residentially zoned district boundaries; <br />C. Nature of uses on adjacent and nearby properties; <br />D. Surrounding topography; <br />E. Surrounding tree coverage and vegetation; <br />F. Design of the tower, with particulaz reference to design chazacteristics that eli ii <br />visual obtrusiveness; <br />H. Availability of suitable existing towers, other structui <br />requiring the use of towers or structures, as discussed in <br />Section VIII. AVAILABILITY OF SUITABLE EXIST <br />ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGY. No new tower shall <br />to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrator, or Boar <br />required), that no existing tower, structure or alternative tee <br />or structures, can accommodate the applicant's prop <br />demonstrate that no existing tower, structure or alte ve <br />proposed tower or antenna may consist of anyll <br />1. No existing towers or structures are <br />engineering requirements. <br />TOWERS, OTHER STRUCTURES, OR <br />fitted unless the applicant demonstrates <br />A ent (if conditional use permit is <br />fo at does not require the use of towers <br />tenna. Evidence submitted to <br />rology can accommodate the applicant's <br />geographic azea which meet applicant's <br />height to meet applicant's engineering requirements. <br />3. Existing towers or <br />antenna and related e <br />sufficient structural strength to support applicant's proposed <br />nna mould cause electromagnetic interference with the antenna on the <br />the antenna on the existing towers or structures would cause interference <br />o~contractual provisions required by the owner in order to shaze an existing tower or <br />pt an existing tower or stmcture for shazing are unreasonable. Costs required by the <br />tower or structure that exceed new tower development aze presumed to be unreasonable. <br />7. The applicant demonstrates that alternative technologies, such as a cable microcell network using <br />multiple low-powered transmitters/receivers attached to a wireline system, that does not require the use of <br />towers or structures, aze unsuitable. Costs of alternative technology that exceed new tower or antenna <br />development shall not be presumed to render the technology unsuitable. <br />8. SEPARATION. Towers shall be separated a distance, as measured from the base, equal to at least the <br />minimum standards established in Table 2 from any preexisting towers. The separation distances shall be <br />l1~ <br />
