The operator shall notify the Director of Environmental Services of any proposal to cause one or more of the changed circumstances shown in subsections (a)(1) through (6) above. Any changed circumstance shall require the operator to apply for a modification of the original Telecommunication Permit. Before implementing any changed circumstance, the operator must obtain a modified Telecommunication Permit and any related building or other permits required by the City.
(b)
Additional right to revoke or modify permit. The reservation of right to review any Telecommunication Permit granted by the City is in addition to, and not in lieu of, the right of the City to review and revoke or modify any permit granted or approved hereunder for any violations of the conditions imposed on such permit. After due notice to the telecom operator and the telecom operator's failure to cure the violations after thirty (30) days have expired, the original Reviewing Authority may revoke any telecom permit upon finding that the facility or the operator has violated any law regulating the telecom facility or has failed to comply with the requirements of this chapter, the Telecommunication Permit, any applicable agreement, or any condition of approval. Upon such revocation, the Reviewing Authority may require removal of the facility at the permittee's sole expense.
