At each five-year review, the permit holder shall provide the Planning Commission Planning Division with a status report on the then current use of the subject site and related equipment and a Radio Frequency Report demonstrating compliance with current Federal Communications Commission (FCC) emission regulations. The Planning Commission Planning Division shall review the status report and, based on an assessment of the information provided, current wireless communication technology, and possible local or cumulative impacts, determine whether to: (1) Modify the conditions of approval in order to reduce identified adverse impacts; and (2) Initiate proceedings to revoke the special use permit, requiring the facility’s removal, if it is no longer an integral part of the wireless communication system. By operation of this condition, it is the intent of the Planning Commission County to reserve the right to modify existing or add new conditions, consistent with the language specified above. The failure of the Planning Commission County to conduct or complete a five-year review in a timely fashion shall not invalidate the special use permit. The applicant shall pay a fee as determined by the Development Services Planning and Building Department Director to cover the cost of processing a five-year review. (Supervisorial District 2)
