§ 17.34.11. Fees, technical evaluation and bond for removal of facility.

A.

Technical Assistance. The Planning Commission or the Zoning Administrator may require technical evaluations and other technical assistance for the purpose of making any determination required by this chapter, including but not limited to confirming the electromagnetic frequency needs of the applicant and identifying alternative solutions and sites that better meet the criteria and legislative intent of this chapter. The cost of these technical services shall be borne by the applicant.

B.

Removal Bond. The application shall include a bond to cover any future wireless communication facility removal costs that may be incurred by the city if the wireless communications facility permit lapses due to nonuse or other noncompliance with the wireless communications facility permit granted for the facility.

C.

Fees. A fee in an amount equal to the fee for a land use permit application shall be charged for each application for a wireless communication facilities permit. The cost of the periodic review required by this chapter for projects located on encouraged sites shall be equivalent to one-half the cost of a wireless communications facility permit, and the cost of periodic review for projects located on discouraged sites shall be equivalent to three-quarters the cost of a wireless communications facility permit. In addition, a fee equivalent to thirty (30) percent of any technical assistance costs shall be charged by the city to cover the city's administrative costs.
