Telecommunications Program Permit Process
Steps in applying for a Telecommunications Permit
- Contact the Real Estate Services office
with proposed location. Be prepared to provide the site Assessor's
parcel Number (APN) and any other specific location information
that may be helpful.
- Real Estate Services will arrange a preapplication meeting
with the appropriate City staff members held at the site of
your proposed use. The preapplication meeting provides the opportunity
for you to fully discuss and describe your proposal in detail
and provides an opportunity for City staff to identify any potential
issues with the proposal. This meeting has the potential for
saving both you and the City time and expense. Be sure to bring
any information that may be useful during this session.
- Once the conceptual design is determined, bring or mail the
application,
along with the application processing fee, to the Real Estate
Services office. The City wants to make the application process
as easy as possible. Accordingly, the application form requests
a minimum amount of information. Incomplete information is often
the reason application periods are unnecessarily prolonged.
- Upon determination that the application is complete, a letter
of agency may be issued so that the applicant may proceed with
obtaining Zoning or Special Use permit approvals with the City's
Planning Department.
- For applications on Park lands, RealEstate Services will arrange
for the Parks and Recreation Commission to hear the proposal
at it's monthly meeting.
- Once the project is approved by the Zoning Administrator or
Planning Commission, Real Estate Services will prepare and send
the Permit Agreement to you for signature.
- Once the agreement is signed by the applicant and returned
to the City it is reviewed by the City Attorney Office, once
approved the the City Attorney Office Real Estate Services will
place the item on the next available City Council Meeting agenda.
- Once approved by the City Council and executed by the City
manager and City Clerk, a copy of the agreement and Revocable
Permit will be sent to you or available for pick up at our office.
COSTS
There are three different fees involved for a Revocable Permit
grant:
Application Fee associated with your application- As established
by resolution of the City Council (currently $5,000), the first
charge will reimburse the City in advance for the expected administrative
and other costs incurred in processing the application. Processing
fees must be paid when the written application is submitted. If
the processing costs exceed the application fee amount, the applicant
will be required to reimburse the City for the actual costs.
Inspection fees -- The second charge is a potential one-time
fee to reimburse the City for the inspection costs during the
course of construction, City may be required to provide on-site
supervision and inspection services because Permittee may be performing
work on and around City facilities. Permittee shall, upon billing
by City, promptly pay the entire cost of such on-site supervision
and inspection services as are directly related to the construction
activities of Permittee during the course of construction and
until final City inspection and approval. Typically both parties
agree on a "not to exceed" amount for these services.
Annual Rental Amount -- The third charge is the annual rental.
As established by resolution of the City Council. It is based
on the fair market rental value and is determined by an administrative
schedule adopted by City Council. (See
Fee
Schedule).
