A. All new monopole towers, and any pre-existing monopole or lattice towers, owned by a licensed carrier, upon which this chapter permits collocation of additional WCFs, shall be made available for use by the owner or initial user thereof, together with as many other licensed carriers as can be technically collocated thereon. However, nothing in this chapter shall prevent such licensed carrier from charging a reasonable fee for the collocation of additional WCFs upon said tower which does not exceed the fair market value for the space occupied.

B. All licensed carriers shall cooperate with each other in collocating additional WCFs upon such towers. All licensed carriers shall exercise good faith in collocating with other licensed carriers and in the sharing of towers, including the sharing of technical information to evaluate the feasibility of collocation. In the event that a dispute arises as to whether a licensed carrier has exercised good faith in allowing other licensed carriers to collocate upon its tower, the city may require a third party technical study to evaluate the feasibility of collocation at the expense of either or both licensed carriers. This covenant of good faith and fair dealing shall be a condition of any permit issued pursuant to this chapter for a new monopole tower.

C. Any licensed carrier which allows collocation upon a tower permitted pursuant to this chapter may condition said collocation to assure that the collocated WCF does not cause electronic or radio frequency interference with its existing WCF. In the event that the collocated licensed carrier is unable to remedy the interference, the owner of the tower shall be relieved of its obligation to allow collocation of the interfering WCF upon its structure. (Ord. 2110 § 2 (Exh. B), 2013; Ord. 1733 § 7, 1998).
