This section is included in your selections.

In addition to the specific technical evaluations required in this chapter, whenever the Administrator determines that technical expertise, evaluation, or peer review is required in order to determine whether an application meets the requirements of this chapter, the Administrator may require that an applicant provide such expertise, evaluation, or review at the applicant’s expense, or the Administrator may obtain such expertise, evaluation, or peer review on the Administrator’s own and may require that the applicant pay the cost of such expertise, evaluation, or review.

The selection of the third party expert shall be by mutual agreement between the applicant and the City; such agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld by either party. The third party expert shall have recognized training and qualifications in the field of radio frequency engineering.

The expert review is intended to be a site‐specific analysis of technical aspects of the wireless communication facility and other matters as described herein. In particular, but without limitation, the expert shall provide a recommendation on the location and height of the proposed facility relative to the applicant’s technical and system design parameters. Such review shall address the accuracy and completeness of the technical data, whether the analysis techniques and methodologies are legitimate, the validity of the conclusions and any specific technical issues outlined by the City or other interested parties. Based on the results of the third party review, the City may require changes to the application for the wireless communication facility that comply with the recommendations of the expert.
