❑ Cities must not require an applicant for a small wireless facility permit to provide any information that the applicant previously had provided to the city in a different application for a small wireless permit (which the applicant must identify by specific reference number). ❑ Cities must not require an application to provide information that is not reasonably necessary to review a permit application for compliance with generally applicable and reasonable health, safety, and welfare regulations, or to demonstrate compliance with applicable Federal Communications Commission regulations governing radio frequency exposure, or other information required by this section. ❑ Permits for small cell facility collocation or placement of a new wireless support structure must specify that the term of a small wireless facility permit equals the length of time that small wireless facility is in use, unless the permit is revoked under this section. ❑ The total application fee for a small wireless facility permit must comply with the statutory requirement regarding costs related to the permit. ❑ The city must allow applicants for small wireless facility permits to file a consolidated permit application to collocate up to 15 small wireless facilities (or a greater number if agreed to by a local government unit), provided that all the small wireless facilities in the application are located within a two-mile radius, consist of substantially similar equipment, and are to be placed on similar types of wireless support structures. ❑ The city has 90 days after the date a small wireless facility permit application is filed to issue or deny the permit, or the permit is automatically issued. ❑ To toll the 90-day clock, the city must provide a written notice of incompleteness to the applicant within 30 days of receipt of the application, identifying all missing documents or information, and providing the applicant with a time to cure that complies with the statute'. ❑ If the city receives applications within a single seven-day period from one or more applicants seeking approval of permits for more than 30 small wireless facilities, the city may extend the 90-day deadline by an additional 30 days. If a city elects to invoke this extension, it must inform in writing any applicant to whom the extension will be applied. ❑ A city cannot require placement of small wireless facilities on any specific wireless support structure other than the one proposed in the permit application. ❑ A city must not limit the placement of small wireless facilities, either by minimum separation distances between small wireless facilities or maximum height limitations, except that each wireless support structure installed in the right of way after the effective date of this act shall not exceed 50 feet above ground level (unless the local government unit agrees to a greater height).
