Any wireless communication facility that is not operated for a continuous period of 12 months shall be considered abandoned, and the city, at its election, may require the wireless communication facility owner to remove the wireless communication facility within 90 days after notice from the city to remove the wireless communication facility. If the abandoned wireless communication facility is not removed within 90 days, the city may remove it and recover its costs from the wireless communication facility’s owner. If there are two or more users of a single wireless communication facility, this provision shall not become effective until all providers cease to use the wireless communication facility. If the owner of an abandoned wireless communication facility cannot be located or is no longer in business, the requirements of this section shall be the responsibility of the landowner on whose property the wireless communication facility is located.
