(A) Contents of application. An application for a permit shall include the following;
(1) The name, business address, and point of contact for the applicant.
(2) The location address, and latitude and longitude of the proposed or affected wireless support structure or wireless facility, and identify all small cell towers within 1,000 feet (304.8 m.) of the proposed new support structure.
(3) A construction plan, as defined herein, that describes the proposed modifications to the wireless support structure and all equipment and network components, including antennas, transmitters, receivers, base stations, power supplies, cabling, and related equipment.
(4) Evidence supporting the choice of location, including, without limitation:
(a) Maps or plats showing the proposed locations) of applicant’s proposed wireless support structure; and
(b) A sworn statement from the individual responsible for the choice of location demonstrating that collocation of wireless facilities on an existing wireless support structure was not a viable option because collocation:
1. Would not result in the same wireless service functionality, coverage, and capacity;
2. Is technically infeasible; or
3. Is an economic burden to the applicant.
(B) Single application. An applicant may submit one application for multiple wireless service facilities that are located within the GROW-OL. The permit authority may issue a single permit for all wireless support structures and service facilities included in the application rather than individual permits for each wireless support structure and service facility.
(C) Variances. If the proposed wireless support structure is not a permitted use under an applicable zoning ordinance, the applicant shall additionally submit evidence showing that the application complies with the criteria for a developmental variance or variance of use from the terms of the zoning ordinance.
(D) Completion. An application that contains the required information of T/S 29.10.07 A, B, and C is considered complete.
(E) Procedure.
(1) Determination of completion/defects. Within ten business days of receipt of an application, the permit authority shall review the application to determine if the application is complete. 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. If the applicant is not notified in writing of all defects in the application, the application is considered complete. An applicant that receives a written notice of incompletion may cure the defects and resubmit the application within 30 calendar days of receiving the notice. If an applicant is unable to cure the defects within the 30-day period, the applicant shall notify the permit authority of the additional time the applicant requires to cure the defects.
(2) Decision by permit authority. Not more than 90 calendar days after the permit authority makes an initial determination of completeness, the permit authority shall:
(a) Review the application to determine if it complies with applicable requirements of this section;
(b) Review the application to determine if it complies with standards required as established by the permit authority; and
(c) Notify the applicant in writing whether the application is approved or denied. However, if the applicant requested additional time to cure defects in the application, the 90 calendar days shall be extended for a corresponding, reasonable amount of time. If the application for the proposed wireless support structure requires a developmental variance or variance of use, the permit authority may have not more than 30 additional days.
