5.28.040   General characteristics of franchise issued.
   Any franchise issued pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, shall be deemed to:
   A.   Authorize utilization of the streets for the public or quasi-public purpose of installing cables, wires, lines, and other facilities in order to operate a cable television system;
   B.   Be nonexclusive, and neither expressly nor impliedly be deemed to preclude the issuance of subsequent franchises to operate cable television systems within the Sacramento community; and
   C.   Be for a term prescribed by the issuing authority which shall not extend beyond December 31, 2007.
   Such a franchise shall not be deemed to authorize or either expressly or impliedly permit the franchisee, except with the consent of the owners, to provide cable television system service to, or install antennae, cables, wires, lines, towers, waveguides, other conductors, converters, or any other equipment or facilities upon private property, including, but not limited to, apartment complexes, condominiums, mobilehome parks and residential subdivision developments with private roads. The purpose of this paragraph is to require owner consent for the provision of service. This paragraph shall not be construed to prohibit a franchisee from entering or utilizing private property as an incident to its use of the streets to the extent entry or use is expressly or impliedly authorized by the right conferred by this section to occupy the streets.
