A. All new monopole towers, and any pre-existing monopole or lattice towers, owned by a licensed carrier, shall be made available for use by the owner or initial user thereof, together with as many other licensed carriers as can be technically co-located thereon. However, nothing in this chapter shall prevent such licensed carrier from charging a reasonable fee for the co-location of additional facilities 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 co-locating additional facilities upon such towers. All licensed carriers shall exercise good faith in co-locating with other licensed carriers and in the sharing of towers, including the sharing of technical information to evaluate the feasibility of co-location. In the event that a dispute arises as to whether a licensed carrier has exercised good faith in allowing other licensed carriers to co-locate upon its tower, the city may require a third party technical study to evaluate the feasibility of co-location 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 co-location upon a tower permitted pursuant to this chapter may condition said co-location to assure that the co-located facility does not cause electronic or radio-frequency interference with its existing facility. In the event that the co-located licensed carrier is unable to remedy the interference, the owner of the tower shall be relieved of its obligation to allow co-location of the interfering facility upon its structure.
