1. Subject to the provisions of sections 67.5090 to 67.5103, including section 67.5094, collocation applications and applications for replacement of wireless facilities shall be reviewed for conformance with applicable building permit requirements, National Electric Safety Codes, and recognized industry standards for structural safety, capacity, reliability, and engineering, but shall not otherwise be subject to zoning or land use requirements, including design or placement requirements, or public hearing review.
2. The authority, within forty-five calendar days of receiving a collocation application or application for replacement of wireless facilities, shall:
(1) Review the collocation application or application to replace wireless facilities in light of its conformity with applicable building permit requirements and consistency with sections 67.5090 to 67.5103. A collocation application or application to replace wireless facilities is deemed to be complete unless the authority notifies the applicant in writing, within fifteen calendar days of submission of the application, of the specific deficiencies in the application which, if cured, would make the application complete. Each collocation application or application to replace wireless facilities shall include a copy of a lease, letter of authorization or other agreement from the property owner evidencing applicant's right to pursue the application. Upon receipt of a timely written notice that a collocation application or application to replace wireless facilities is deficient, an applicant may take fifteen calendar days from receiving such notice to cure the specific deficiencies. If the applicant cures the deficiencies within fifteen calendar days, the application shall be reviewed and processed within forty-five calendar days from the initial date the application was received. If the applicant requires a period of time beyond fifteen calendar days to cure the specific deficiencies, the forty-five calendar days' deadline for review shall be extended by the same period of time;
(2) Make its final decision to approve or disapprove the collocation application or application for replacement of wireless facilities; and
(3) Advise the applicant in writing of its final decision.
3. If the authority fails to act on a collocation application or application to replace wireless facilities within the forty-five calendar days' review period specified in subsection 2 of this section, the application shall be deemed approved.
4. The provisions of sections 67.5090 to 67.5103 shall not:
(1) Authorize an authority, except when acting solely in its capacity as a utility, to mandate, require, or regulate the placement, modification, or collocation of any new wireless facility on new, existing, or replacement poles owned or operated by a utility;
(2) Expand the power of an authority to regulate any utility; or
(3) Restrict any utility's rights or authority, or negate any utility's agreement, regarding requested access to, or the rates and terms applicable to placement of any wireless facility on new, existing, or replacement poles, structures, or existing structures owned or operated by a utility.
5. A party aggrieved by the final action of an authority, either by its affirmatively denying an application under the provisions of this section or by its inaction, may bring an action for review in any court of competent jurisdiction within this state.
