14.44.310 Telecommunication facilities — Exceptions.
A. Exceptions to the requirements specified within this chapter may be granted through issuance of a conditional use permit by the planning commission. Such a permit may only be approved if the planning commission finds, after receipt of sufficient evidence, that failure to adhere to the standard under consideration in the specific instance will not increase the visibility of the facility or decrease public safety.
B. An exception to the requirements of Sections 14.44.180 and 14.44.250 may only be granted upon written concurrence by the fire chief.
C. Tower setback requirements may be waived under any of the following circumstances:
1. The facility is proposed to be co-located onto an existing, legally-established telecommunication tower; and
2. Overall, the reduced setback enables further mitigation of adverse visual and other environmental impacts than would otherwise be possible.
