(A) Authorization. In the event that county shall grant to the grantee a nonexclusive, revocable for cause franchise to construct, operate, and maintain a cable communications system within the county, said franchise shall constitute both a right and an obligation to provide the services of a cable communications system as regulated by the provisions of this chapter and the franchise. The franchise shall include by reference those provisions of the grantee's “application for franchise” that are finally negotiated and accepted by the county and grantee. By acceptance of the franchise, the grantee agrees to abide by all regulations thereof, herein, and as may be amended from time to time.
(B) Event of conflict. The franchise shall be granted under the terms and conditions contained herein consistent with and subject to all applicable statutory requirements. In the event of conflict between the terms and conditions of this chapter, the franchise, or the terms and conditions on which the county can grant a franchise, statutory requirements shall control.
(C) Generally applicable ordinances. Any franchise granted by the county is hereby made subject to the general ordinance provisions now in effect and hereafter made effective. Nothing in the franchise shall be deemed to waive the requirements of the various codes and ordinances of the county regarding permits, fees to be paid, or manner of construction.
