679 18.110.170 2. Every personal wireless service facility shall demonstrate continued compliance with all radio frequency standards adopted by the Federal Communications Commission. The personal wireless service provider shall hire a qualified electrical engineer licensed by the state, and approved by the zoning administrator to measure the actual radio frequency radiation of the approved facility and determine if it meets the Federal Communications Commission's standards. A report of all calculations, required measurements, and the en- gineer's findings with respect to compliance with the radio frequency standards shall be submitted to the planning division within three years of facility approval and every three years thereafter. In the case of a change in the standard, the required report shall be submitted within 90 days of the date the said change be- comes effective. In order to assure the objectivity of the analysis, the city may require, at the personal wire- less service provider's expense, independent verification of the results of any analysis. If a personal wire- less service provider fails to supply the required reports or remains in continued noncompliance with the Federal Communications Commission standard, the zoning administrator shall schedule a public planning commission hearing. After conducting the hearing, if the planning commission determines that the personal wireless service provider has failed to supply the required reports or remains in continued noncompliance, the planning commission shall modify or revoke all approvals. All personal wireless service facilities providing service to the government or general public shall be designed to survive a natural disaster without interruption in operation. To this end the following measures shall be imple- mented: 1. Nonflammable exterior wall and roof covering shall be used in the construction of all aboveground equip- ment shelters and cabinets. 2. Openings in all aboveground equipment shelters and cabinets shall be protected against penetration by fire and windblown embers. 3. The material used as supports for the antennas shall be fire resistant, termite proof, and subject to all the re- quirements of the Uniform Euilding Code. 4. Personal wireless service facility towers shall be designed to withstand the forces expected during the "maximum credible earthquake." All equipment mounting racks and attached equipment shall be anchored in such a manner that such a quake will not tip then over, throw the equipment off its shelves, or otherwise act to damage it. 5. All connections between various components of the personal wireless service facility and with necessary power and telephone lines shall be protected against damage by fire, flooding, and earthquake. 6. Measures shall be taken to keep personal wireless service facilities in operation in the event ofa disaster. 7. All equipment shelters and personal wireless service facility towers shall be reviewed and approved by the fire department. 8. A building permit shall be required for the construction, installation, repair, or alteration of all support structures for personal wireless service facilities equipment. Personal wireless service facilities must be stable and must comply with the Uniform Building Code and any conditions imposed as a condition of is- suing a building permit.

All ground - mounted antennas that are located on undeveloped sites, where allowed, shall be converted to roof - or facade- mounted antennas with the development of the site when feasible and technically possible. 13. All aboveground and partially buried equipment shelters and cabinets that are located on undeveloped sites, where allowed, shall be located where they will be the least visible from surrounding properties and public places.
