A. In its sole discretion, the City may limit the number of franchises granted at any one time based upon its consideration of all appropriate criteria, which shall include but not be limited to the following:
(1) The capability of the public rights-of-way to accommodate the facilities of any proposed additional cable systems.
(2) The advantages and disadvantages that may result from additional cable system competition.
B. The City may require that a Grantee be responsible for its own underground trenching and any associated costs if, in the City's opinion, the public rights-of-way in any area cannot reasonably accommodate the additional cables, machinery, equipment, or other facilities contemplated in connection with the construction, maintenance, and operation of a proposed new cable system.
