[b] 
If such standards or regulations are changed, the owner of the WCF shall bring such WCF into compliance with the revised standards within six months of the effective date of such standards or regulations, unless a different compliance schedule is mandated by the controlling state or federal agency. Failure to bring such facilities into compliance shall constitute grounds for the removal of the WCF at the owner's expense.

The following regulations shall apply to all communications towers that do not meet the definition of a small WCF.
[a] 
Siting requirements.
[i] 
Communications towers are permitted outside the public rights-of-way as a conditional use in the following zoning districts:
[A] 
I Industrial District.
[B] 
IPA Industrial Park Airport District (with appropriate FAA approvals).
[C] 
PI Public Institutional District.
[ii] 
Communications towers shall not be located in, or within 75 feet of, an area in which all utilities are primarily located underground.
[iii] 
Communications towers shall not be located within 250 lineal feet of any adjoining property within a residential zoning district or any existing, adjacent residential use.
[b] 
Application requirements.
[i] 
Upon submission of an application for a communications tower and the scheduling of the mandatory public hearing in front of City Council, the WCF applicant shall mail notice to all owners of every property within 500 feet of the proposed communications tower. The WCF applicant shall provide proof of the notification to the City.
[ii] 
Prior to the City's approval of an application for the construction and installation of a communications tower, it shall be incumbent upon the WCF applicant to prove to the reasonable satisfaction of City Council that the WCF applicant cannot adequately extend or infill its communications system by the use of equipment installed on existing structures, such as utility poles or their appurtenances and other available structures. The WCF applicant shall further demonstrate that the proposed communications tower must be located where it is proposed in order to serve the WCF applicant's service area and that no other viable, less-intrusive alternative location exists.
[iii] 
The application shall include the name and contact information, including phone number, for both the WCF applicant and the owner of the proposed communications tower.
[iv] 
The application shall include a site plan, drawn to scale, showing property boundaries, power location, total height of the communications tower, guy wires and anchors, existing structures, elevation drawings, typical design of proposed structures, parking, fences, landscaping and existing uses on adjacent properties.
[v] 
The application shall include aerial photographs of the area within a 500-foot radius of the proposed communications tower and identify all existing WCFs in that area.
[vi] 
The application shall be accompanied by a description of the type and manufacturer of the proposed transmission/radio equipment, the frequency range (megahertz band) assigned to the WCF applicant, the power in watts at which the WCF applicant transmits, and any relevant related tests conducted by the WCF applicant in determining the need for the proposed site and installation.
[vii] 
The application shall include evidence that a significant gap in wireless coverage or capacity exists 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 City Council's decision on an application for approval of communications tower.
[viii] 
Where the communications tower is located on a property that is not owned by the WCF applicant, the WCF applicant shall present evidence to the City that the owner of the property has granted an easement or other property right, if necessary, for the proposed WCF and that vehicular access will be provided to the facility.
[ix] 
The application shall include a written certification by a structural engineer licensed in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania of the proposed WCF's ability to meet the structural standards offered by either the Electronic Industries Association or the Telecommunication Industry Association and certify the proper construction of the foundation and the erection of the structure. This certification shall be provided during the conditional use proceedings before City Council, or at a minimum, be made as a condition attached to any approval given such that the certification be provided prior to issuance of any building permits.
[x] 
An application for a new communications tower shall demonstrate that the proposed communications tower cannot be accommodated on an existing wireless support structure. City Council may deny an application to construct a new communications tower if the WCF applicant has not made a good faith effort to mount the antenna(s) on an existing wireless support structure. The WCF applicant shall demonstrate that it contacted the owners of all potentially feasible structures, buildings, and towers within a one-mile radius of the site proposed, sought permission to install an antenna on those structures, buildings, and towers and was denied for one of the following reasons:
[A] 
The proposed antenna and related equipment would exceed the structural capacity of the existing building, structure or tower, and its reinforcement cannot be accomplished at a reasonable cost.
[B] 
The proposed antenna and related equipment would cause radio frequency interference with other existing equipment for that existing building, structure, or tower and the interference cannot be prevented at a reasonable cost.
[C] 
Such existing buildings, structures, or towers do not have adequate location, space, access, or height to accommodate the proposed antenna and related equipment or to allow it to perform its intended function.
[D] 
A commercially reasonable agreement could not be reached with the owner of such building, structure, or tower.
[xi] 
The application shall include a report by a qualified engineering expert which shows that the communications tower will comply with applicable FCC regulations, including applicable standards for radiofrequency emissions.
[xii] 
The application shall also be accompanied by documentation demonstrating that the proposed communications tower complies with all applicable provisions of this § 410-124A(13).

The minimum lot shall comply with the requirements for the applicable zoning district and shall be the area needed to accommodate the communications tower and guy wires, the equipment building, security fence, and buffer planting if the proposed communications tower is greater than 40 feet in height.
[C] 
Minimum setbacks. The minimum distance between the base of a communications tower and any adjoining property line or street right-of-way line shall be equal to 100% of the height of the communications tower. The underlying lot must be large enough to accommodate related equipment, stormwater runoff mechanisms, and all other features typically found within the immediate area of a communications tower.
[d] 
Design regulations.
[i] 
Height. Any communications tower shall be designed at the minimum functional height.
