An application for a permit for Collocation shall include:
(a) Contents of Application. An application for Collocation of a Wireless Facility on an existing structure shall include:
(1) The name, business address, and point of contact for the applicant and a statement that indicates the applicant is a Person that either provides Wireless Communication Service or owns or otherwise makes available infrastructure required for that service;
(2) The location of the proposed or affected Wireless Support Structure or Wireless Facility; and
(3) A Construction Plan that includes evidence of conformance with applicable building permit requirements.
(b) Application. An applicant may submit one (1) application requesting no more than five (5) wireless service facilities for Collocation. The Permit Authority may issue a single permit for all wireless service facilities included in the application rather than individual permits for each wireless service facility.
(c) Procedure/Review of Application. The Permit Authority shall promptly review for completeness every application duly filed with the City which requests authorization to collocate a Wireless Facility in the City's ROW. Every applicant shall be notified within ten (10) business days of the City's receipt of an application as to whether its application is complete.
Within forty-five (45) days a receipt of a completed application, the Permit Authority shall review the application to determine if the application complies with the standards set forth by this ordinance and the Permit Authority. If the Permit Authority determines that an application is not complete, the Permit Authority shall notify the applicant in writing of all defects in the application. An applicant that receives a written notice of incompletion may cure the defects and resubmit the application within fifteen (15) days of receiving the notice.
If an applicant has requested additional time to amend its application or requested or agreed to a continuance during the review or hearing process, then the period of time prescribed above shall be extended for a corresponding amount of time.
(d) Written Determinations. A written determination shall state clearly the basis for the decision to approve or deny an application. If the Permit Authority denies an application, the written notice must include the basis for such denial. A notice is considered written if it is included in the minutes of a public meeting of the Permit Authority.
(e) Failure to Notify. If the Permit Authority fails to notify an applicant in writing within ten (10) business days whether its application is complete, the application is considered complete. If the Permit Authority fails to notify an applicant within forty-five (45) days whether its application has been approved or denied, the application shall be considered approved. If an applicant requested additional time to amend its application, then the 45 day review period specified above shall be extended for a corresponding amount of time.
(f) Deadlines for Final Actions. For purposes of this Collocation section a reasonable period of time is not more than forty-five (45) days from the date that the applicant is notified that the application is complete. An application for Collocation only is not subject to a public hearing before the BPW, but the Permit Authority may review the application for compliance with applicable building permit requirements before issuing the applicant a Permit.
