A. The review of an eligible telecommunication facility request, as defined in PMC 15.07.410, shall be subject to the following procedures:

1. An applicant for an eligible telecommunications facility request shall be required to submit only such documentation and information as is reasonably necessary to determine whether a proposed modification would substantially change the physical dimensions of an eligible tower or base station. The applicant shall not be required to demonstrate a need or business case for the proposed modification or collocation.

2. The Town Manager shall review the application to determine whether the application qualifies as an eligible telecommunications facility request.

3. When an application is incomplete, the Town Manager shall provide written notice to the applicant within thirty (30) calendar days, specifically identifying all missing documents or information.

4. If an application remains incomplete after a supplemental submission, the Town Manager shall notify the applicant within ten (10) calendar days. Second or subsequent notices of incompleteness may not require the production of documents or information that were not requested in the original notice of incompleteness.

5. An eligible telecommunications facilities request shall be approved or denied by the Town within sixty (60) calendar days of the date of the Town’s receipt of the competed application. This time period may be tolled only by mutual agreement or when an application is incomplete.

6. If the Town fails to approve or deny an eligible telecommunications facility request within sixty (60) calendar days of the date of the Town’s receipt of the completed application (accounting for any tolling), the request shall be deemed granted; provided, that this automatic approval shall become effective only upon the Town’s receipt of written notification from the applicant after the review period has expired (accounting for any tolling) indicating that the application has been deemed granted.

B. Approval of an eligible telecommunications facility request shall be subject to the following provisions:

1. The Town Manager shall approve an eligible telecommunications facility request that does not substantially change the physical dimensions of an eligible tower or base station.

2. The Town Manager may approve an eligible telecommunications facility request that substantially changes the physical dimensions of a tower or base station if it complies with the remainder of this section.

3. The Town Manager may condition the approval of an eligible telecommunications facility request on compliance with generally applicable building, structural, electrical and safety codes or with other laws codifying objective standards reasonably related to public health and safety.

C. Denial of an eligible telecommunications facility request shall be in writing and shall include the reasons for denial. (Ord. 711 §1 (Exh. A), 2017)
