Article II. Macro Facilities
22.38.050 Macro facility application process.
In order to manage the rights-of-way in a thoughtful manner which balances the need to accommodate new and evolving technologies with the preservation of the natural and aesthetic environment of the city, the city of Algona has adopted this administrative process for the deployment of macro facilities. Applicants are encouraged and expected to provide all related applications listed in subsection A of this section for each facility in one submittal, unless they have already obtained a franchise or lease.
A. The director is authorized to establish franchise and other application forms to gather the information required by these ordinances from applicants.
1. Franchise. To locate a macro facility in the right-of-way, the applicant must apply for, and receive, a franchise consistent with Chapter 12.02 AMC. An applicant with a franchise for the deployment of macro facilities in the city may apply directly for a macro facility permit and related approvals.
2. Macro Facility Permits. To locate a macro facility outside the right-of-way, or if the applicant has already received a franchise to locate in the right-of-way, the applicant shall apply for a macro facility permit, as outlined in this article. Prior to the issuance of a macro facility permit, the applicant shall pay a permit fee in an amount as determined by the city council and adopted by resolution, or the actual costs incurred by the city in reviewing such permit application.
3. Associated Permit(s). The applicant shall attach all associated required permit applications including but not limited to applications required under Chapter 12.08 AMC, and applications or check lists required under the city’s critical areas, shoreline or SEPA ordinances.
4. Leases. An applicant who desires to attach a macro facility to any structure owned by the city shall include an application for a lease as a component of its application. Leases for the use of public property, structures, or facilities shall be submitted to the city council for approval. (Ord. 1189-21 § 2 (Exh. A), 2021).
