That failure to grant the variance would unreasonably discriminate among providers of functional equivalent personal wireless services;

That the variance will obviate the need for additional antenna supporting structures;

That the variance is necessary to ensure adequate public safety and emergency management communications; or

That the variance is the minimum necessary in order for the applicant to provide broadcast services pursuant to an FCC-issued construction development approval.
