(a) When required. Except as provided in subsection (b), a person may not occupy, use, or engage in any activity in a right-of-way without first obtaining a permit from the Department of Public Works. If other law limits the County's ability to require a permit, this subsection shall be construed to require a request and all other requirements of this title shall apply to the request.
(b) When not required. No permit is required for a work activity that makes no material change to the footprint of a facility or to the airspace, surface, or subsurface of a right-of-way if the activity does not disrupt or impede traffic in the traveled portion of a right-of-way.
(c) Other legal authority; compliance with agreements. The issuance of a permit does not relieve the applicant from obtaining any other legal authority that may be necessary to occupy or use the right-of-way or from complying with a franchise, license, or other such agreement.
