(1) The director shall review applications for small cell permits for small cell deployments approved by a franchise or described in a concurrent franchise application. The director may authorize minor deviations in the small cell permit from the dimensional design and concealment technologies referenced in the exhibits to the franchise or design standards.

(2) A deviation in height of the pole of up to 10 feet above the height of the existing pole when required for separation established for the zoning district, by the franchise or from a design approved for a specially designated design zone may be permitted.

(3) Deviations in the dimensions or volume of small cell facilities which do not exceed the cumulative total provided by the definition of a small cell or microcell facility in RCW 80.36.375 may be considered a minor deviation when an applicant replaces components of an existing, approved small cell facility. Similarly, the addition of antennas on a pole, not to exceed a cumulative total of six cubic feet, shall be considered a minor deviation. Provided, however, that in each instance the new or revised facilities do not defeat the concealment features set by city’s generally applicable pole design standard adopted pursuant to the franchise, or city code.

(4) Small cell permits to install facilities including approval of minor deviations shall be processed within 90 days of receipt of a complete application and final approval of a franchise, whichever occurs last.

(5) The decision of the director to approve a small cell permit with a minor deviation, if any, shall be final and is not subject to appeal under city code or further legislative review. (Ord. 1469 § 6 (Att. E), 2019).
