(C) Batch applications. The city may require the applicant to file a separate application for any small wireless facility that is not of a substantially similar design to the others included in the application, or if submitted in a batch, the application must be sufficiently clear so that the city may determine whether one or more of the proposed facilities is not of a substantially similar design.
