Prior to making an application for a small cell system tower in the rights-of-way, applicant must first obtain a franchise from Franklin County, unless applicant already possesses a franchise from Franklin County or the Commonwealth. All proposed small cell systems, except non-tower small cell systems, co-locations to existing structures or those exempted by § 155.404(A), shall be subject to Planning Commission review and approval. Non-tower small cell systems, co-locations to existing structures and those exempted by § 155.404(A) shall be subject to administrative review and approval by staff. The factual determination approving or rejecting such plans shall be made in accordance with requirements of this and other applicable sections of these regulations and the Comprehensive Plan. One application for multiple proposed towers within the same small cell system is encouraged whenever possible.
