Can the City of Dublin regulate the location of such small cells?

Applicants who would like to install small cells on City-owned poles are required to go through the Master License Agreement process; however, it must do so within the established federal and state laws.

These federal and state laws prohibit cities from:

b) denying applications based on health concerns associated with radio waves from antennae;

c) stalling or failing to decide on a wireless application.
