GOVERNING BODY
The Mayor and Township Council of the Township of Little Falls.
GUY TOWER
A telecommunications tower that is supported, in whole or in part, by guy wires and ground anchors.
HEIGHT
The distance, when referring to a tower or other such structure, measured from the lowest finished natural grade of the parcel at the tower base to the highest point on the tower or other structure, including the base pad, any antennas, as well as any structure on which the same are built, affixed and/or attached.
MONOPOLE TOWER
A communications tower consisting of a single pole constructed without guy wires or ground anchors.
REVIEWING BODY
Any person, official, board, or entity required to review the wireless telecommunications and site plan application, including without limitation the Township of Little Falls Planning Board, Township Clerk, Township Construction Code Official, Township of Little Falls Engineer and Township governing body.
TOWER
Any structure and any support thereof, such as an alternative tower structure, self-supporting lattice tower, guy tower or monopole tower, constructed either as self-supporting or in association with a building, for purposes of supporting one or more antennas.
All new wireless telecommunications towers and antennas, as defined herein, located in the Township of Little Falls shall be governed by these regulations.
The requirements set forth in this section shall govern the location and construction of all towers and the installation of all antennas governed by this article:
A. 
Building codes; safety standards. To ensure the structural integrity of wireless telecommunications towers, the owner of a tower shall maintain it in compliance with the standards contained in applicable state and local building codes, as well as the standards for towers as published and periodically amended by the Electronic Industries Association. Wireless telecommunications tower owners shall periodically inspect these towers at least once every two years to ensure the structural integrity of the tower. A structural engineer licensed to practice in New Jersey shall conduct the tower inspections. The inspection results shall be provided to the municipal Construction Code Official, Township of Little Falls Engineer, and the governing body of the Township. If, after inspection and notice being provided to the owner of the tower, the Township of Little Falls reviewing body concludes that a tower fails to comply with such codes and standards and constitutes a danger to persons or property, then the owner of the tower shall have 30 days to ensure the tower complies with such standards. At the discretion of the governing body and the reviewing body, the applicant will be required to post a bond in an amount sufficient to ensure compliance with this provision and entire article. Failure to comply with such standards within 30 days shall constitute grounds for removal of the tower and/or antenna at the owner's expense. The owner shall, in the case of conflicting code standards, comply with the most stringent of the applicable standards.
B. 
Regulatory compliance.
(1) 
All towers and antennas must meet or exceed current state or federal government agency standards and regulations. If such standards and regulations are changed, then the owners of the communications towers and antennas governed by this article shall ensure such wireless telecommunications towers and antennas comply within six months of the effective date with the revised standards and regulations, unless a more stringent compliance schedule is mandated by the controlling federal agency.
(2) 
Tower owners shall provide documentation to the designated Township official showing that each communications tower is in compliance with all federal requirements. Evidence of compliance must be submitted every 12 months.
(3) 
The failure of any tower owner to comply with the provisions set forth above shall permit the Township to take all action permitted under this chapter and at law to compel compliance, as well as the declaration by the Township that the tower shall be deemed abandoned as defined herein.
C. 
Security. Wireless telecommunications towers shall be enclosed by decay-resistant security fencing not less than six feet in height and shall be equipped with an appropriate anti-climbing device to prevent unauthorized access. However, the reviewing body may waive or permit variance from such requirements for alternative tower structures.
D. 
Lighting and signs.
(1) 
No signs shall be permitted except for one sign not exceeding two square feet displaying owner contact information and warnings, equipment information and safety instructions.
(2) 
Lighting and other forms of illumination are permitted only as required by state or federal regulations, where the Township of Little Falls reviewing body may review the available lighting alternatives and approve the lighting design that would cause the least disturbance to the surrounding uses and views.
E. 
Advertising. No advertising shall be permitted on any wireless telecommunications antenna or tower.
F. 
Visual impact.
(1) 
Subject to any applicable federal or state agency standards or as required by the Township Planning Board, towers shall either maintain a galvanized steel finish or be painted a neutral color to reduce visual obtrusiveness. Notwithstanding the same, the reviewing body considering any application for erection of a tower may require, at its reasonable discretion, that the tower be camouflaged or constructed of an alternative material, provided that the same does not interfere with the essential function of the tower.
(2) 
At the tower site, the design of the building and related structures shall use materials, colors, textures, screening, camouflaging and landscaping that will harmonize the wireless telecommunications tower and related facilities to the natural build setting and environment.
(3) 
The antenna and supporting electrical and mechanical equipment, if installed on a structure other than a tower, must be a neutral color that is identical to or closely compatible with the supporting structure's color to make the antenna and related equipment as visually unobtrusive as possible.
(4) 
Towers clustered or collocated at the same cell site shall be of similar height and design.
(5) 
Towers shall be the minimum height necessary to provide the service required, and towers shall be freestanding where the visually unobtrusive effect is less than would be created by use of a guyed tower.
G. 
Landscaping.
(1) 
Landscaping shall be used to effectively screen the view of the tower compound from adjacent public ways, public property and residential property. The landscaping buffer shall be a landscaped strip of at least four feet in width and shall be properly maintained by the owner of the tower. The buffer zone shall consist of landscaping that can be expected to grow to form a continuous hedge at least five feet in height within two years of planting.
(2) 
Trees and shrubbery in the vicinity of guy wires shall be of a kind that would not exceed 20 feet in height or would not affect the stability of the guy wires should they be uprooted and shall not obscure visibility of the anchor from the transmission building or security facilities and maintenance.
(3) 
Native vegetation around the cell site shall be preserved to the greatest practical extent. The applicant shall provide a site plan showing existing significant vegetation to be removed and vegetation to be replanted to replace that lost.
(4) 
The reviewing body having jurisdiction over the project may allow use of an alternate detailed plan and specifications for landscape and screening, including planting, fences, walls and other features designed to screen and buffer towers and accessory uses. The alternate plan shall achieve the above screening requirements, except as lesser requirements are desirable for adequate visibility for security purposes. In certain locations where the visual impact of the tower would be minimal, such as developed heavy industrial areas, the landscaping requirements may be reduced or waived by the reviewing body having jurisdiction over the project.
H. 
Principal, accessory and joint uses.
(1) 
Accessory structures used in direct support of a tower shall be permitted; however, they may not be used for offices, vehicular storage or any other outdoor storage. Mobile or immobile equipment not used in direct support of a wireless telecommunications tower facility shall not be stored or parked on the cell site unless the equipment is related to contemporaneous repairs being made to the tower. In all zoning districts and in addition to other bulk requirements, any accessory structure shall be located not more than 25 feet from the base of any proposed tower.
(2) 
Where permitted, wireless telecommunications antennas and towers within the meaning of this article shall be a principal permitted use rather than accessory use. Notwithstanding the same, or any conflicting provision of any other Township of Little Falls Code section or ordinance, towers may be located on sites containing another principal permitted use in the same buildable area, provided that all of the other siting, setback, separation and general requirements of this article are met. Towers may occupy a parcel meeting the minimum lot size requirements for the zoning district in which they are located.
(3) 
Joint use of a site is prohibited when a proposed or existing principal permitted use includes the storage, distribution or sale of volatile, flammable, explosive or hazardous materials such as propane, gasoline, natural gas and dangerous chemicals.
I. 
Municipal use of towers. The Township of Little Falls shall be permitted reasonable use and access of any tower to be erected within the Township for municipal purposes, including without limitation police, fire department/rescue squad and public works communications and other municipal government uses.
J. 
Site plan approval required. Site plan approval by the appropriate Township of Little Falls agency consistent with this article and this chapter shall be required for all new wireless telecommunications facilities in the Township.
K. 
Planning Board authority. This article shall in no way restrict or limit the powers or discretion of the Township of Little Falls Planning Board in reviewing site plan applications, otherwise granted under law.
Subject to any other applicable provision of this article, wireless telecommunications antennas or towers are permitted uses on property owned, leased, or otherwise controlled by the Township of Little Falls, provided that a license or lease authorizing such wireless telecommunications antenna or tower has been approved by the governing body and reviewing body upon the filing of an application and hearing as required by this article or by applicable law.
In furtherance of § 280-172 of this article, no wireless telecommunications license or lease shall be issued unless the licensee shall have first filed adequate proof that the following insurance requirements have been provided:
A. 
The following language/wording must appear on the insurance certificate: "The certificate holder (Township of Little Falls) is included as an additional insured as respects losses arising solely from the erection, installation, construction and maintenance of the cell site in its broadest and most inclusive sense."
B. 
Ten days' written notice of cancellation must be provided to the Township of Little Falls.
C. 
The insurance certificate must be written by a company licensed to do business in the State of New Jersey and rated A or better by A.M. Best Rating, and the certificate shall also state: "Rated by A.M. Best Rating."
D. 
The terms of the policy, including coverage, shall be determined by the governing body and the reviewing body during the application process and shall be in effect prior to commencement of any work being undertaken concerning the application.
In general, the following provisions shall govern the issuance of approvals for wireless telecommunications towers, antennas and related facilities on Township property:
A. 
The governing body of the Township of Little Falls may approve the uses listed in this section as an incident to a lease or license duly approved by the Mayor and Council.
B. 
Each applicant for administrative approval shall apply to the Construction Official of the Township of Little Falls providing the information required by this article.
C. 
The Construction Official, in consultation, if necessary, with the Township Engineer, shall review the application for completeness to determine if the proposed use complies with the requirements of this article. The matter shall thereafter be referred to the Township of Little Falls Planning Board for site plan review in accordance with the requirements of this article.
D. 
In connection with any administrative approvals, the Planning Board may grant waivers from the provisions of § 280-171 of this article or other relevant and applicable provisions hereof upon a showing by the applicant that the advantages of the waiver outweigh the detriment and that the waiver will not substantially impair the public good.
E. 
The Planning Board shall use the standards of the within article as set forth in § 280-171 in determining whether to permit the proposed construction.
F. 
If the application is denied by the Planning Board, the applicant shall have a right to file an appeal in the Superior Court or apply for an approval as otherwise provided in this article.
G. 
The applicant shall deposit with the Township of Little Falls a nonrefundable fee as set forth in Chapter 71, Fees, for administrative costs that may be incurred in the review of the application. In the event that it is determined that the costs incurred by the Township for legal or engineering review by its professional consultants exceeds the amount of the application fee, the applicant may be required to post a cash escrow as may be determined by the Township and administered in a manner conformable to the requirements of the Municipal Land Use Law.
[Amended 12-22-2008 by Ord. No. 1060]
A. 
In the event of a denial of an application to the Planning Board for permission pursuant to this article to erect a tower facility on Township property or in the event the applicant can demonstrate an inability to construct a tower on Township-owned or -leased property, the applicant may file a site plan application and conditional use application with the Planning Board for site plan approval and conditional use approval for a wireless telecommunications facility consistent with the requirements of the within article. Any departure from the provisions of the within article shall require an application for a use variance pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70d.

(9) 
A description of any feasible locations of future towers or antennas within the Township of Little Falls based upon existing physical, engineering, technological or geographical limitations in the event that the proposed tower is erected.
B. 
Factors considered in granting approval for towers, antennas and related structures. In addition to any standards for consideration of the application with the Municipal Land Use Law, the Planning Board shall consider the following factors, without limitation, in determining whether to issue an approval:
(1) 
Height of the proposed tower.
(2) 
Proximity of the tower to adjoining structures and residences or residential district boundaries.
(3) 
Nature of uses on adjacent and nearby properties.
(4) 
Surrounding topography.
(5) 
Surrounding tree coverage and foliage.
(6) 
Design of the tower, with particular reference to design characteristics that have the effect of reducing or eliminating visual obtrusiveness.
(7) 
Proposed ingress and egress.
(8) 
Availability of suitable existing towers, other structures or alternative technologies not requiring the use of towers or structures.
C. 
Availability of suitable existing towers, other structures or alternative technology. No new tower shall be permitted unless the applicant demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the Planning Board that no existing tower, structure or alternative technology that does not require the use of towers or structures can accommodate the applicant's proposed antenna. An applicant shall submit information requested by the Planning Board related to the availability of suitable existing towers, other structures or alternative technology. Evidence submitted to demonstrate that no existing tower, structure or alternative technology can accommodate the applicant's proposed antenna may consist of any of the following:
(1) 
No existing towers or structures are located within the geographic area which meet applicant's engineering requirements.
(2) 
Existing towers or structures are not of sufficient height to meet applicant's engineering requirements.
(3) 
Existing towers or structures do not have sufficient structural strength to support applicant's proposed antenna and related equipment.
(4) 
The applicant's proposed antenna would cause electromagnetic interference with the antenna on the existing towers or structures, or the antenna on the existing towers or structures would cause interference with the applicant's proposed antenna.
(5) 
The fees, costs or contractual provisions required by the owner in order to share an existing tower or structure or to adapt an existing tower or structure for sharing are unreasonable. Costs exceeding new tower development are presumed to be unreasonable.
(6) 
The applicant demonstrates that there are other limiting factors that render existing towers and structures unsuitable.
(7) 
The applicant demonstrates that an alternative technology that does not require the use of towers or structures, such as a cable microcell network using multiple low-powered transmitters/receivers attached to a wireline system, is unsuitable. Costs of alternative technology that exceed a new tower or antenna development shall not be presumed to render the technology unsuitable.
D. 
Bulk requirements.
(1) 
Setback. The applicant shall comply with all setback requirements of the zone in which the tower is proposed. Notwithstanding the same, the Board may reduce the standard setback requirements should the same better serve the requirements of this article and the applicant otherwise complies with the Municipal Land Use Law. In any event, all accessory structures associated with the proposed tower shall be located not more than 25 feet from the base of the tower.
(2) 
Separation. Tower separation shall be measured from the base of the tower to the lot line of any adjoining use or property. Any tower proposed in a business or residential zone or within 300 feet of property zoned for business or residential use or within 300 feet of any property used for residential purposes shall be separated from the lot line a distance of 200 feet or 300% of the height of the tower, whichever is greater. For towers located in industrial zones and not within 300 feet of any business or residential zone or any property used for residential purposes, the existing setback for the zone shall apply.
(3) 
Height. In all applications to the Planning Board, the height of a tower for a single use shall not exceed 90 feet; for two users, shall not exceed 120 feet; and for three or more users, shall not exceed 150 feet. The Planning Board reviewing the application may impose a limitation for a lesser height, provided that the lesser height will achieve the required transmission or coverage.
A. 
Location. For all equipment cabinets or structures used in association with antennas, other than antennas mounted on rooftops or structures, the equipment cabinet or structure shall be located in accordance with the bulk requirements of the zone applicable to accessory buildings or structures, other than any limitation applicable to the number of such accessory uses or structures, in which the same is located, but in all events, not more than 25 feet from the base of the tower. All such structures shall be appropriately screened by a planting row having an ultimate height equal to or exceeding the height of the structure and a planted hedge of at least 36 inches.
B. 
Height and area. In all zones, the height of any equipment cabinet or structure used in association with antennas shall not exceed 10 feet as measured from the ground elevation as defined in this chapter. The area of any such equipment cabinet or structure shall not exceed 300 square feet of gross floor area.
A. 
The location of an antenna on a rooftop or structure for purposes as set forth herein shall be governed by the provisions of this article. All height limitations as imposed herein shall be measured from the ground elevation of the building or structure as the same is defined in the Township of Little Falls Zoning Ordinance.
B. 
The equipment cabinet or structure used in association with such antennas shall comply with the following:
(1) 
The cabinet or structure shall not contain more than 300 square feet of gross floor area or be more than 10 feet in height, measured from the mean ground level. The cabinet or structure shall be limited to use accessory to the tower.
(2) 
If the equipment structure is located on the roof of a building, the area of the equipment structure and other equipment and structures shall not occupy more than 50% of the roof area.
(3) 
Equipment storage buildings or cabinets shall comply with all applicable building codes and shall be architecturally compatible with the building.
(4) 
Mounting of equipment, cabinet or structure on the rooftop is permitted only if there is no feasible alternative.
A. 
In the review of any application for approval pursuant to the provisions of the within article, the reviewing body shall not impose unreasonable restrictions on the rights of the applicant pursuant to the provisions of the United States Constitution and the provisions of federal legislation or the regulations of the FCC.
B. 
In connection with any application to the Planning Board, all of the technical standards contained in the within article as to any category of application shall apply to any application.
C. 
Any application to site the facility on Township of Little Falls property shall be subject to the public bidding statutes of the State of New Jersey as well as subject to a lease agreement with appropriate financial conditions agreeable to the Township.
D. 
In deciding an application after notice and hearing, the Planning Board shall adopt a resolution which shall contain specific findings of fact and conclusions of law dealing with the criteria of the Land Use Act and the within article.
E. 
In deciding an application, the Planning Board shall make specific findings of fact and conclusions as to whether the proposed structure will be aesthetically displeasing in its setting and shall have the right to impose conditions in order to minimize any adverse aesthetic impact.
F. 
In any application other than an application to locate a tower on Township-owned or -leased property, the Planning Board shall give consideration to the nature of the community, the other uses permitted in the zone, the existing uses in the surrounding area, the alternative means available for satellite transmission and reception and any other circumstances which may be pertinent.
G. 
The Planning Board shall give consideration as to whether prohibiting the applicant from erecting its facility in the Township of Little Falls would have the probable practical effect of prohibiting the applicant's communications facility from operating or that the audience it could reach would be different. The Planning Board may also consider whether there are other available locations outside of the Township of Little Falls on which applicant's facilities could be more suitably located and still provide essentially the same communications services.
No application pursuant to the provisions of this article shall be reviewed unless the applicant first executed and filed an indemnification agreement with the Township of Little Falls. In consideration of the authorization to construct and operate the cell site, the applicant shall forever agree to defend, protect, indemnify and save harmless the Township of Little Falls, its officers, agents and representatives from all damages, expenses, fees and costs, including attorney's fees, that arise out of or which may arise out of, in its most inclusive and broadest sense, the erection, construction, installation, and/or maintenance of the cell site.
Upon inspection by the reviewing body of the Township of Little Falls, if a wireless telecommunications tower is determined not to comply with the code standards or to constitute a danger to persons or property, then upon notice being provided to the owner of the tower and the owner of the property, if such owner is different, such owners shall have 30 days to bring such tower into compliance. In the event that such tower or antenna is not brought into compliance within 30 days, the Township may provide notice to the owners requiring the tower or antenna to be removed. In the event that such tower or antenna is not removed within 30 days of receipt of such notice, the Township may remove such tower or antenna and place a lien upon the property for the costs of removal. Delay by the Township in taking action shall not in any way waive the Township's right to take action. The Township may pursue all legal remedies available to it to ensure that communications towers and antennas not in compliance with the code standards or which constitute a danger to persons or property are brought into compliance or removed. The Township may seek to have the tower or antenna removed regardless of the owners' or operators' intent to operate the tower or antenna and regardless of any permits, federal, state or otherwise, which may have been granted.
A. 
Any antenna or tower that is not operated for a continuous period of 180 consecutive days shall be considered abandoned, whether or not the owner or operator intends to make use of the tower. The owner of an abandoned antenna or tower and the owner of the property where the tower is located shall be under a duty to remove such abandoned tower or antenna. If such antenna and/or tower is not removed within 60 days of receipt of notice from the Township notifying the owners of such abandonment, the Township may remove such tower and/or antenna and place a lien upon the property for the costs of removal. The Township may pursue all legal remedies available to it to ensure that abandoned communications towers and antennas are removed. Delay by the Township in taking action shall not in any way waive the Township's right to take action. The Township may seek to have the communications tower or antenna removed regardless of the owners' or operators' intent to operate the tower or antenna and regardless of any permits, federal, state or otherwise, which may have been granted.
B. 
If the owner of an abandoned tower or antenna wishes to use such abandoned tower or antenna, the owner first must apply for and receive all applicable permits and meet all of the conditions of this article as if such tower or antenna were a new tower or antenna.
This article is read and construed in pari materia with all relevant this chapter and the Code of the Township of Little Falls.
