GUIDELINES FOR WIRELESS FACILITIES <br />IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF- WAY <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />2 | P a g e <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The City of Santa Ana seeks to permit wireless carriers to install small cell wireless facilities within the public <br />right-of-way in order to provide improved cellular coverage and capacity throughout the City; while ensuring <br />facilities are well-maintained and do not significantly detract from City streetscapes. The Public Works <br />Agency may update the Design Guidelines and Standards from time to time at the disc retion of the Director <br />of Public Works. <br />These Design Guidelines are published on the City’s Public Works website (https://www.santa- <br />ana.org/sites/default/files/pw/documents/wireless_design_standards_guidelines). The public is <br />encouraged to check this website regularly for updates. <br />1. Stealth Design <br />a. A “stealth facility” (or “stealth facilities”) means a wireless facility designed to look like <br />something other than a wireless tower or base station. <br />b. Stealth. All wireless facilities shall be stealth. Stealth elements and techniques should be used <br />to blend the facility with surrounding materials and colors of the support structure and make <br />the facility appear to be something other than a wireless facility. Stea lth elements include, but <br />are not limited to, the following: <br />i. Radio frequency (RF) transparent screening or shrouds; <br />ii. Matching the color of the existing support structure by painting, coating, or otherwise <br />coloring the wireless facility, equipment, mounting brackets, and cabling; <br />iii. Placing cables and wires inside the pole or beneath conduit of the smallest size possible; <br />iv. Minimizing the size of the site; <br />v. Installing new infrastructure that matches existing infrastructure in the area surrounding <br />the proposed site; and <br />vi. Using paint of durable quality. <br /> <br />
