§ 29-27-404 — Permit process

(1) (a) For small cell networks involving
multiple individual small cell facilities within the jurisdiction of a single local
government entity, the local government entity shall allow the applicant, at the
applicant's discretion, to file a consolidated application and receive a single permit
for the small cell network instead of filing separate applications for each individual
small cell facility.

(b) For a consolidated application filed pursuant to subsection (1)(a) of this
section, each small cell facility within the consolidated application remains subject
to review for compliance with objective requirements and approval as provided in
this article 27. The local government's denial of any individual small cell facility is
not a basis to deny the consolidated application as a whole or any other small cell
facility incorporated within the consolidated application.

(2) If a wireless service provider applies to locate or collocate several
wireless service facilities within the jurisdiction of a single local government entity,
the local government entity shall:

(a) Allow the applicant, at the applicant's discretion, to file a single set of
documents that will apply to all the wireless service facilities to be sited; and

(b) Render a decision regarding all the wireless service facilities in a single
administrative proceeding, unless local requirements call for an elected or
appointed body to render such decision.

(3) The siting, mounting, placement, construction, and operation of a small
cell facility or a small cell network is a permitted use by right in any zone.
