(1) (a) For small cell networks involving multiple individual small cell facilities within the jurisdiction of a single local government entity, the local government entity shall allow the applicant, at the applicant's discretion, to file a consolidated application and receive a single permit for the small cell network instead of filing separate applications for each individual small cell facility.

(b) For a consolidated application filed pursuant to subsection (1)(a) of this section, each small cell facility within the consolidated application remains subject to review for compliance with objective requirements and approval as provided in this article 27. The local government's denial of any individual small cell facility is not a basis to deny the consolidated application as a whole or any other small cell facility incorporated within the consolidated application.

(2) If a wireless service provider applies to locate or collocate several wireless service facilities within the jurisdiction of a single local government entity, the local government entity shall:

  1. Allow the applicant, at the applicant's discretion, to file a single set of documents thatwill apply to all the wireless service facilities to be sited; and

  2. Render a decision regarding all the wireless service facilities in a single administrative proceeding, unless local requirements call for an elected or appointed body to render such decision.

(3) The siting, mounting, placement, construction, and operation of a small cell facility or a small cell network is a permitted use by right in any zone.
