Summary Report:
The City approved a revision to its Right-of-Way Management Ordinance to align with new state legislation related to small wireless facilities in the City Right-of-Way on October 2, 2018. Staff has been reviewing other guidelines around the country related to small cell wireless facilities and has prepared a Small Wireless Facility Design and Review Guideline Policy.
This policy will be utilized by staff in review and permitting small wireless facilities that are proposed within the Right-of-Way of the City. Although this policy is specific to the City’s Right-of-Way management, it will be used as a guide for other proposed sitings of these facilities outside the Right-of-Way.
This policy covers how these new wireless facilities can be deployed while preserving the health and welfare of the public and maintaining the aesthetics and character of our community.
