No wireless telecommunication facility except those designated in Section 18.66.030 (Exemptions from Discretionary Permits) shall be installed, erected, or modified in the City without the approval of either a Conditional Use Permit or Minor Use Permit, in addition to a Zoning Clearance, in compliance with the list of allowable land uses specified in Article 2 (Zones, Allowable Uses, and Development Standards) and the following. A. Conditional Use Permit. Conditional Use Permit approval is required for all new wireless telecommunication facilities and wireless telecommunication towers that exceed 70 feet in height, or do not meet the definition of slimline monopole subject to this Chapter. B. Minor Use Permit. Minor Use Permit approval is required for the extension of an existing wireless telecommunication facility and if the existing wireless telecommunications tower will be 70 feet or less feet in height and meets the definition of slimline monopole. A Minor Use Permit is also required for a Concealed Facility of any height. C. Conditions. In approving a Conditional Use Permit or Minor Use Permit, the appropriate Review Authority may impose conditions as it deems reasonable, necessary, and appropriate to further the purposes of this Chapter, including, but not limited to, redesign or relocation of the proposed facility and resubmittal of a revised proposal for further consideration. D. Zoning Clearance. A nondiscretionary Zoning Clearance is required for co-location of new transmission equipment on an existing permitted wireless telecommunication tower or facility, where the co-location does not substantially change the physical dimensions of the existing facility or equipment and qualifies as an “eligible facilities request” under 47 CFR § 1.6100, as may be amended. Multiple service providers may submit one application for all intended co-located facilities. Prior to the issuance of a Zoning Clearance all the following requirements shall be met for the proposed facility. The wireless telecommunications facility: 1. Shall be consistent with current zoning regulations; and 2. Was previously granted discretionary review approval.
