Title

Wireless Telecommunications Facilities Regulations Amendments (CEQA Determination: Exempt Pursuant To CEQA Guidelines Sections 15311, 15303, and 15061(b)(3)) (Charles S. Bryant / Miroo Desai)

Recommended Action

The Planning Commission and staff recommend that the City Council amend regulations concerning wireless telecommunication facilities outlined in Article 17 of Chapter 5 of the Planning Regulations to conform with the recent Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Ruling. An urgency ordinance is necessary as the Ruling is effective January 14, 2019. A revision to the Master Fee Schedule is needed in order amend the current fee for a small cell antenna facility on a City pole ($2,500 per pole per year) to bring it in conformance with the federally mandated maximum that cities are permitted to charge ($270 per pole per year).
