(a) The Town of Fayetteville is authorized to create reasonable rules for construction and public safety in the rights-of-way, including wiring and cabling requirements, grounding requirements, and abandonment and removal provisions, to the extent any additional rules are necessary.
(b) These rules shall be applied in a nondiscriminatory manner and shall be posted publicly on the Town of Fayetteville’s website and shall be available to the public in print at the Town Clerk’s office. If the Town of Fayetteville determines that no additional rules are necessary, the Town of Fayetteville’s website shall state that no additional rules apply. The Town of Fayetteville may change the guidelines in a prospective manner for all permit applications moving forward but shall not change requirements on any applicant who has already applied for a permit. Each new or modified small wireless facility or utility pole installed in the right-of-way shall comply with the Town of Fayetteville current rules for construction and public safety as of the time of the permit application.
