The processing of an application for a permit under this section is subject to all of the following:
(A) An application in such form as prepared by the city shall be completed and submitted as set forth in this section.
(B) The city may require an applicant to provide information and documentation to enable the city to make a compliance determination with regard to the criteria in this section involving, without limitation, § 7.163(C). The city may also require a certificate of compliance with FCC rules related to radio frequency emissions from a small cell wireless facility.
(C) The city may require proof of other necessary permits, permit applications, or easements to ensure all necessary permissions for the proposed activity are obtained.
(D) The city may require an applicant to attest that the small cell wireless facilities will be operational for use by a wireless services provider within one year after the permit issuance date, unless the city and the applicant agree to extend this period or delay is caused by lack of commercial power or communications transport facilities to the site.
(E) An applicant may, at the applicant’'s discretion, file a consolidated application and receive a single permit for the co-location of up to 20 small cell wireless facilities within the city. The small cell wireless facilities within a consolidated application must consist of substantially similar equipment and be placed on similar types of utility poles or wireless support structures. The city may approve a permit for one or more small cell wireless facilities included in a consolidated application and deny a permit for the remaining small cell facilities.
(F) The application for a permit under this section shall be accompanied by an application fee as set by resolution of the city from time to time.
(G) The permit application shall be accompanied by a map(s) for any proposed small cell wireless facilities which shall be legible, to scale, labeled with streets, and contain sufficient detail to precisely identify the proposed small cell wireless facilities’ locations and surroundings. Where applicable, the required map(s) shall include and identify any requested pole height(s), all attachments and detailed drawings of any attachment.
(H) The permittee shall field-stake all proposed locations for small cell wireless facilities which shall be subject to the advance approval of the city, Kent County Road Commission and/or the Michigan Department of Transportation as applicable. All approved small cell wireless facilities’ locations shall be on a per pole/equipment/other basis.
(I) Once precise locations have been approved, the permittee shall provide latitude and longitude coordinates for the small cell wireless facilities’ locations to the city’s Engineering Department as well as detailed as-built drawings within 90 days of the completion of installation.
