§ 8107-45.10.2. Facility modifications subject to a permit adjustment.

Modifications to a wireless communication facility that cannot be processed with a Zoning Clearance, pursuant to Section 8107-45.10.1 above, may be processed with a Permit Adjustment, provided that the modifications would not alter the findings made for the existing permit (see Sections 8111-1.2.1.1 through 1.2.1.7), nor any findings contained in the environmental document, and further provided that the proposed modifications satisfy each of the following criteria as applicable:

a.

New or replacement equipment cabinets or shelters would not generate noise that would exceed originally permitted levels and are not prominently visible from a public viewpoint;

b.

Alterations to the approved landscaping plan are in compliance with the standards in Subsection 8107-45.4(q) and may result in replacement vegetation or additional vegetation for screening purposes;

c.

Modifications to the facility design and operation would be consistent with the facility's original design and permitted conditions of approval. Proposed changes to a stealth facility shall retain the necessary features to ensure the facility remains stealth, as stated in Subsection 8107-45.4(i);

d.

Modifications would only involve grading of a previously disturbed site; and

e.

Modifications would not result in a replacement, modification, or a series of replacements or modifications to a wireless communication facility that cumulatively constitute an increase in physical dimensions of 10 percent or more in any one or more of the following:

• Height or width of the antenna or associated equipment;

• Circumference of the antenna, mast, or pole;

• Distance of the antenna array from the support structure;

• Volume of equipment, including but not limited to boxes, equipment sheds, guy wires, pedestals and cables; or
