Ordinance to Repeal and Reenact Article X of SAMC Chapter 33 <br />Telecommunications in the Public Right -of -Way <br />August 21, 2018 <br />Page 3 <br />The draft ordinance continues to specify the information to be submitted with an application for a <br />wireless facility in the public right-of-way. The draft ordinance also allows for review of the <br />analyses by a qualified radio frequency consultant. The application will also include photo <br />simulations and a statement that the installation will comply with all applicable radio frequency <br />emission standards. Ultimately, the draft ordinance provides the Public Works Agency with the <br />ability to more effectively regulate wireless telecommunications facilities in the public right-of-way. <br />Wireless telecommunications installations proposed to be placed outside of public street and <br />alley right-of-way (such as within parks and on private property) will continue to require a permit <br />administered by the Planning and Building Agency; that process will remain unchanged. <br />This ordinance regulates the issuance of permits to place wireless facilities in the public rights-of- <br />way. It does not authorize the use of City -owned infrastructure located in the public rights-of-way. <br />In a future Request for Council Action, staff will recommend approval of a Master License <br />Agreement, which will provide terms to allow providers to install small cell antennas on City - <br />owned facilities, such as streetlights. <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #3 — Economic Development, <br />Objective #3 (promote a solutions -based customer focus in all efforts to facilitate development <br />and investment in the community), Strategy C (explore opportunities to encourage a business - <br />friendly environment within the city through the reduction of non-essential regulatory <br />requirements and improved coordination between agencies for development review). <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />There is no environmental impact associated with this action. <br />There fs no fiscal impact associated with this action. <br />K <br />Fuad S. weiss, PE, PLS <br />Executivf Director <br />Public Wrrks Agency <br />FSS/EWG/TH <br />Exhibit: 1.
