[Added 4-24-2017 by Ord. No. 2017-2]
A. 
The purpose of this article is to establish uniform standards for the siting, design, permitting, maintenance, and use of wireless communications facilities in Jenkintown Borough. While the Borough recognizes the importance of wireless communications facilities in providing high-quality communications service to its residents and businesses, the Borough also recognizes that it has an obligation to protect public safety and to minimize the adverse visual effects of such facilities through the standards set forth in the following provisions.
B. 
By enacting this article, the Borough intends to:
(1) 
Promote the health, safety and welfare of Borough residents and businesses with respect to wireless communications facilities;
(2) 
Provide for the managed development of wireless communications facilities in a manner that enhances the benefits of wireless communication and accommodates the needs of both Borough residents and wireless carriers in accordance with federal and state laws and regulations;
(3) 
Establish procedures for the design, siting, construction, installation, maintenance and removal of both tower-based and nontower-based wireless communications facilities in the Borough, including facilities both inside and outside the public rights-of-way;
(4) 
Address new wireless technologies, including, but not limited to, distributed antenna systems, data collection units, cable Wi-Fi and other wireless communications facilities;
(5) 
Encourage the co-location of wireless communications facilities on existing structures rather than the construction of new tower-based structures;
(6) 
Protect Borough residents from potential adverse impacts of wireless communications facilities and preserve, to the extent permitted under law, the visual character of established communities and the natural beauty of the landscape; and
(7) 
Update the Borough's wireless facilities regulations to incorporate changes in federal and state laws and regulations.

(2) 
Gap in coverage. An applicant for a tower-based WCF must demonstrate that a significant gap in wireless coverage exists with respect to all wireless operators in the applicable area and that the type of WCF being proposed is the least intrusive means by which to fill that gap in wireless coverage. The existence or nonexistence of a gap in wireless coverage shall be a factor in the Borough's decision on an application for approval of tower-based WCFs.
(3) 
Sole use on a lot. A tower-based WCF is permitted as a sole use on a lot subject to the minimum lot area and yards complying with the requirements for the applicable zoning district.
(4) 
Combined with another use. A tower-based WCF may be permitted on a property with an existing use or on a vacant parcel in combination with another industrial, commercial, institutional or municipal use, subject to the following conditions:
(a) 
The existing use on the property may be any permitted use in the applicable district and need not be affiliated with the communications facility.
(b) 
Minimum lot area. The minimum lot shall comply with the requirements for the applicable district and shall be the area needed to accommodate the tower-based WCF and guy wires, the equipment building, security fence, and buffer planting.
(c)

C. 
Co-location. An application for a new tower-based WCF shall not be approved unless the Borough finds that the wireless communications equipment planned for the proposed tower-based WCF cannot be accommodated on an existing or approved structure or building. Any application for approval of a tower-based WCF shall include a comprehensive inventory of all existing towers and other suitable structures within a two-mile radius from the point of the proposed tower, unless the applicant can show to the satisfaction of the Borough that a different distance is more reasonable, and shall demonstrate conclusively why an existing tower or other suitable structure cannot be utilized.
D.

G. 
Accessory equipment.
(1) 
Ground-mounted equipment associated with, or connected to, a tower-based WCF shall be underground. In the event that an applicant can demonstrate that the equipment cannot be located underground to the satisfaction of the Borough Engineer, then the ground-mounted equipment shall be screened from public view using stealth technologies, as described above.
(2) 
All utility buildings and accessory structures shall be architecturally designed to blend into the environment in which they are situated and shall meet the minimum setback requirements of the underlying zoning district.
H. 
Additional antennas. As a condition of approval for all tower-based WCFs, the WCF applicant shall provide the Borough with a written commitment that it will allow other service providers to co-locate antennas on tower-based WCFs where technically and economically feasible and that the WCF applicant shall not unreasonably withhold such permission. The owner of a tower-based WCF shall not install any additional antennas without obtaining the prior written approval of the Borough.
I. 
Access road. An access road, turnaround space and parking shall be provided to ensure adequate emergency and service access to a tower-based WCF.

In addition to permit fees as described in § 181-144Q of this article, every tower-based WCF in the ROW is subject to the Borough's right to fix annually a fair and reasonable compensation to be paid for use and occupancy of the ROW. Such compensation for ROW use shall be directly related to the Borough's actual ROW management costs, including, but not limited to, the costs of the administration and performance of all reviewing, inspecting, permitting, supervising and other ROW management activities by the Borough. The owner of each tower-based WCF shall pay an annual fee to the Borough to compensate the Borough for the Borough's costs incurred in connection with the activities described above. The annual ROW management fee for tower-based WCFs shall be determined by the Borough and authorized by resolution of Borough Council and shall be based on the Borough's actual ROW management costs as applied to such tower-based WCF.
J. 
Financial security. Prior to the issuance of a permit, the owner of a tower-based WCF in the ROW shall, at its own cost and expense, obtain from a surety licensed to do business in Pennsylvania and maintain financial security acceptable to the Borough Solicitor, in an amount of $100,000, to assure the faithful performance of the terms and conditions of this article.
