or other related telecommunications structure by multiple licensed
and authorized wireless telecommunications service providers for various
types of telecommunications technology and/or siting of antennas on
a site owned or operated by a public utility or other public entity.
The Federal Communications Commission.
The Mayor and Township Council of the Township of Little
Falls.
A telecommunications tower that is supported, in whole or
in part, by guy wires and ground anchors.
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.
A communications tower consisting of a single pole constructed
without guy wires or ground anchors.
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.
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.
B.
Such an application shall be governed by the following
standards, as well as other standards and requirements in this chapter:
(1)
Modification of existing towers.
(a)
Subject to demonstration of need as determined
by the governing body and the reviewing body, an existing tower may
be modified or rebuilt to a taller height, not to exceed 30 feet over
the tower's existing height, to accommodate the collocation of an
additional antenna, but shall not exceed the overall height limitations
of this article.
(b)
The height change referred to may only occur
one time per wireless telecommunications tower.
(c)
A tower which is being rebuilt to accommodate
the collocation of an additional antenna shall be subject to all of

shall be shown on an updated site plan map. The applicant shall also
identify the type of construction of all existing towers.
(6)
A description of compliance with the provisions
of this article and all applicable federal, state or local laws.
(7)
A notarized statement by the applicant as to
whether construction of the tower will accommodate collocation of
additional antennas for future users.
(8)
A description of the suitability of the use
of existing towers, other structures or alternative technology not
requiring the use of towers or structures to provide the services
to be provided through the use of the proposed new tower.
(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.
