A. The issuance of a small wireless facility permit grants authority to construct small wireless facilities in the right-of-way in a consolidated manner to allow the applicant, in most situations, to avoid the need to seek duplicative approval by both the Public Works and the Development Services Divisions. If the applicant requires a new franchise to utilize the right-of-way, the franchise approval may be consolidated with the small wireless facility permit review if requested by the applicant. As an exercise of police powers pursuant to RCW 35.99.040(2), the small wireless facility permit is not a right-of-way use permit, but instead a consolidated public works and land use permit and the issuance of a small wireless facility permit shall be governed by the time limits established by federal law for small wireless facilities.

B. To the extent they do not conflict with the requirements of this chapter, the general standards applicable to the use of the right-of-way described in Chapters 12.07 and 12.08 LMC shall apply to all small wireless facility permits. [Ord. 726 § 2 (Exh. B), 2019.]
