Variances.
The Planning and Zoning Commission may consider a variance from the standards of this Section, based upon a finding that one or more of the following factors exist, as appropriate for the type of variance requested:
 
(a) Location.
The applicant must demonstrate that a location within a district or location in accordance with the standards of this Section cannot reasonably meet the coverage or capacity needs of the applicant.

(b) Tower Setback.
The applicant has provided engineering information documenting that the tower is self-collapsing and that the setback designated area would accommodate the structure should it fall or break and would provide a reasonable buffer in the event the structure fails.

(c) Height.
The height requested is due to signal interference due to topography, tall buildings, masses of trees, or other obstructions, or would reduce the number of towers to the benefit of the cities and county.

(d) Mitigation.
The applicant has proposed means to mitigate any negative impacts through provision for future collocation, if found to be appropriate by the City of Bells and special design of the facility and site.

(e) Design.
The wireless communication and accessory facilities shall be designed to be compatible with the existing character of the proposed site, neighborhood and general area such as a steeple, bell tower, or similar form.
