The purpose of this chapter is to establish a process for managing, and uniform requirements for acting upon, requests for the deployment of small wireless facilities (SWFs) and for modifications, including eligible facilities requests to modify existing SWFs, within the rights-of-way consistent with the city’s obligation to promote the public health, safety, and welfare, to manage the rights-of-way, and to ensure that the public is not incommoded by the use of the rights-of-way for the placement, deployment and modification of SWFs. The city recognizes the importance of personal wireless services facilities to provide high-quality communications service to the residents and businesses within the city, and the city also recognizes its obligation to comply with applicable federal and state law regarding the deployment of SWFs in its rights-of-way. This chapter shall be interpreted consistent with those provisions. (Ord. 6755 § 1, 2023; Ord. 6454 § 5, 2019.)
