A. The issuance of a Small Cell Permit grants authority to construct Small Cell facilities in the public ways 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 Planning and Community Development departments. As an exercise of police powers pursuant to RCW 35.99.040(2), the Small Cell Permit is not a Right-of-Way Use Permit, but is a consolidated Public Works and land use permit and the issuance of a Small Cell Permit shall be governed by the time limits established by federal law for wireless communications facilities.

B. The Small Cell Permit shall include those elements that are typically contained in the Right-of-Way Use Permit to allow the Applicant to proceed with the build-out of the Small Cell deployment without a separate Right-of-Way Use Permit. (Ord. 2965 § 2 (part), 2019: Ord. 2925 § 2 (part), 2018).
