(A) The provisions of this chapter are not intended and shall not be interpreted to prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting the provision of personal wireless services, nor shall the provisions of this chapter be applied in such a manner as to unreasonably discriminate between providers of functionally equivalent personal wireless services. To the extent that any provision or provisions of this chapter are inconsistent or in conflict with any provision of this code, the provisions of this chapter shall be deemed to control.
(B) In the course of reviewing any request for any approval required under this chapter made by an applicant to provide personal wireless service or to install personal wireless service facilities, any reviewing authority, including the Plan Commission, Zoning Board of Appeals or the Board of Trustees, as the case may be, shall act within a reasonable period of time after the request is duly filed with the village, taking into account the nature and scope of the request and, any decision to deny such a request shall be in writing and supported by substantial evidence.
