Written documentation as the feasibility of the use of alternative tower structure, in lieu of conventional tower structure. K. Nonconforming uses: Bona fide nonconforming towers or antennas that are damaged or destroyed may be rebuilt without having to meet the separation or setback requirements specified in this section. The type, height, and location of the structure, however, shall be the same type, height, and similar dimensions, and intensity as the original structure.

Review Criteria: Certain criteria shall be considered in determining the need for a conditional use for new tower. A new tower shall not be approved unless it can be demonstrated by the applicant that there is a technological need for the new tower which cannot be met by placing an antenna on an existing tower or on other structures, or by replacement or modification of an existing tower. Information concerning the following factors shall be considered in determining that such need exists: 1 . Insufficient structural capacity of existing towers or other suitable structures, and infeasibility of reinforcing or replacing an existing tower. 2 . Unavailability of suitable locations to accommodate system design or engineering on existing towers or other structures. 3 . Radio frequency interference or other signal interference problems at existing towers or other structures. 4. The cost of using an existing tower or other structure exceeds the costs of permitting and constructing a new tower. 5. Other factors which demonstrate the technological need for the new tower.
