(2) A landscape plan to scale, indicating the size, spacing and type of plantings, and indicating existing significant vegetation to be removed, and vegetation proposed for planting to replace any • lost vegetation; and a natural resources screening, based upon direct observation and/or generally available data sources, of the proposed support structure site; and information as to how the applicant will implement practical measures to avoid, minimize and/or mitigate (in that order of preference) potential adverse impacts. (3) A utilities inventory showing the location of all water, sewer, drainage, gas, and power lines at the site. (4) Information concerning support structure specifications, and compliance with applicable EIA, ANSI and USBC standards, as applicable. (5) Demonstration of the structural integrity of the proposed facility and its support structure; information as to the failure characteristics of the proposed facility and its support structure; demonstration that site conditions and setbacks are adequate to contain debris within the boundaries of the site in the event of structural collapse. (6) A description of anticipated maintenance and operational needs, including frequency of necessary maintenance services, personnel needs, equipment needs, and traffic, noise or safety impacts of the maintenance and operation of the facility. (7) Total anticipated capacity of the support structure as proposed, including a description of the number, type, technical capabilities and limitations, and the placement of antenna or other receiving or transmitting devices to be located on the support structure, and information sufficient to enable the city to evaluate the visual impact of the proposed facility on adjacent properties and views. • (8) Information as to the additional tower capacity anticipated, including the approximate number and types of antennas or other equipment the structure could ultimately accommodate, together with a description of any limitations on the ability of the facility to accommodate other facilities or uses (e.g., radio frequency interference, mass height, frequency or other characteristics). The applicant shall include a description of the technical options available to overcome any listed limitations, and reasons why such technical options were not chosen to be incorporated in the proposed facility. (9) A certification that the applicant has made reasonable efforts to find a collocation site acceptable to engineering standards, and that none was practically or economically feasible. (10) A statement from a qualified radio frequency engineer licensed to practice in the Commonwealth of Virginia, or from the FCC, certifying that, as proposed, a communications facility complies with FCC guidelines concerning radio frequency radiation and emissions. (11) Written statements from the FAA, FCC and any state governmental authority having jurisdiction or regulatory authority over the proposed facility, verifying that the proposed facility complies with all applicable regulations administered by that agency or authority, or that the proposed facility is exempt from any such regulations. (12) Any other information which may be requested by the city to facilitate evaluation and review of the application. (d) Special Use Permits.
