A. Except as provided in this section and sections 11-1802, 11-1803, 11-1806, 11-1807, 11-1809 and 11-1810, a county may not prohibit, regulate or charge for the collocation of small wireless facilities inside a right-of-way.

B. For collocations for which an application is required, an applicant seeking to collocate multiple small wireless facilities within the jurisdiction of a single county may file a consolidated application for the collocation of up to thirty-five small wireless facilities within a right-of-way if the collocations each involve substantially the same type of small wireless facilities and substantially the same type of utility pole or wireless support structure.  The county may remove from the consolidated application and treat separately small wireless facility collocations for which incomplete information has been provided, that do not qualify for consolidated treatment or that are denied.  The county may issue separate permits for each collocation that is approved in a consolidated application. Application fees, if required, shall be capped at one hundred dollars for each small wireless facility for up to five small wireless facilities addressed in a single application and sixty-five dollars for each additional small wireless facility addressed in the application.

C. An application shall include an attestation that the small wireless facilities will be collocated on the utility pole or wireless support structure and that the small wireless facilities will be operational for use by a wireless services provider to provide service within one year after the date on which the permit is issued.
