CODE AMENDMENT 15-001; ORDINANCE RELATING TO SMALL
CELL TELECOMMUNICATION FACILITIES; LOCATION -CITYWIDE;
APPLICANT -VERIZON WIRELESS
DATE: DECEMBER 20, 2016
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Planning Commission adopt a Resolution recommending
that the City Council adopt an Ordinance amending Arroyo Grande Municipal Code
(AGMC) Sections 16.04.070(C), 16.36.030(A) and 16.44.040-A relating to small cell
telecommunication facilities, and a Resolution amending the City's Telecommunication
Facilities Siting and Permit Submittal Requirements.
FINANCIAL iMPACT:
There is no identified direct impact to financial and personnel resources. This item is not
identified in the City's Critical Needs Action Plan.
BACKGROUND:
The first generation of cell phones began in the 1980's, which included large phones
with limited ability to make and receive phone calls. This was followed in the 1990's by
second and third generation phones that were made smaller in size while expanding
capabilities including texting, internet access, and Global Positioning System (GPS)
navigation on a digital network. During this time, providers began to rapidly expand
their network infrastructure. The idea of co-locating was not developed yet, with each
telecom carrier establishing their own towers and antennas. As a result of this
inundation of new technology combined with concerns regarding visual and other
potentially adverse impacts, many local jurisdictions reacted by prohibiting these
facilities.
In response to this reaction, Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (TCA)
was adopted which preserved local zoning authority while imposing the following
limitations for local government:
PLANNING COMMISSION

DECEMBER 20, 2016
PAGE 2
1. Local agencies shall not "unreasonably discriminate" among providers of
functionally equivalent services and shall not prohibit or have the effect of
prohibiting service.
2. Local agencies must act on a request within "reasonable period of time". This
was further defined in 2009 by the "shot clock" ruling which requires localities to
act upon most wireless applications within 90 days for co-locations and 150 days
for new towers.
3. Any decision to deny must be "in writing" and supported by "substantial
evidence".
4. Ail sites must conform to all published Federal Code and Practices concerning
radio frequency (RF) emissions.
The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) is the federal agency charged with
creating rules and policies under the TCA and other telecommunications laws. The FCC
also manages and licenses commercial users (cell providers, telecommunications
wholesalers and tower companies), as well as non-commercial users (e.g. local
governments). As a result, both the TCA and FCC rulings impact interactions between
the cell industry and local government.
The significant changes in the wireless industry and related shared wireless
infrastructures, combined with consumer demand for fast and reliable service on mobile
devices, have created pressure for large and small cell site development in most cities,
including Arroyo Grande. In 2000, the City began actively planning for wireless
telecommunication facilities mainly due to the influx of land use applications to construct
these facilities. In 2001, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 3569 approving the
"Telecommunication Siting and Submittal Requirements", which addressed concerns
regarding the visual impact of wireless infrastructure, radio frequency (RF) exposure,
site capacity, and other issues (see Attachment 1 for Resolution). To date, there are
twelve (12) telecommunication facilities in operation, mostly located on City-owned
property. There are also three (3) telecommunication facilities that have received a land
use entitlement and waiting for an approved lease agreement, and one pending facility
located on private property in the Fair Oaks Mixed Use (FOMU) zoning district (see
Attachment 2 for a summary table of telecommunication facilities within the City).
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Verizon Wireless is requesting that the City amend the Development Code to allow
small cell telecommunication facilities in the Village Core Downtown (VCD) zoning
district. The purpose of this request is to offload some the capacity issues that
telecommunication carriers are having with heavy data traffic, especially within the
village core area. Most carriers have located their facilities on City-owned properties
(typically at water tank sites), which are at higher elevations and relatively far from the
village core area.
The term "small cell" refers to telecommunication facilities that are limited in size and
used to provide targeted capacity or greater service coverage to weak areas. Small cell
PLANNING COMMISSION

facilities can consist of one or more radio transceivers, antennas, coaxial cable, power
supply, and other associated electronics. They are generally made up of an equipment
enclosure and antenna, and are usually attached to an existing structure. The public
benefit of these facilities includes improved (faster) cell service and reduced visual
impacts because of the smaller stealth equipment that can be hidden from public view.
For example, the small size of the antennas allow them to be placed behind a parapet
or camouflaged in other ways such as on a flag pole, street light, sign, etc. All ground
equipment must also be screened.
Currently, the Development Code allows "telecommunication facilities" in the Public
Facility (PF) zoning district with a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), and all commercial
zoning districts except VCD with either a CUP or a Minor Use Permit (MUP). These
facilities are not permitted in any residential district. The Development Code does not
define the term "small cell telecommunication facilities", nor is this term listed in the
allowable use table. The broader term "telecommunication facilities" is likewise not
defined in the Development Code.
The proposed amendments to the Development Code would provide definitions for both
"telecommunication facilities" and "small cell telecommunication facilities", modify Table
16.36.030(A) to add small cell telecommunication facilities to the list of allowed land
uses and permit requirements within commercial districts, and more clearly specify
these uses in the PF zoning district.
The proposed definitions are as follows:
16.04.070 -Definitions.
"Small cell telecommunication facility" means an unmanned facility, excluding a
satellite television dish antenna, established for the purpose of providing wireless voice,
data and/or image transmission within a designated service area. A small cell
telecommunications facility and may consist of one or more radio receivers, antennas,
interconnecting cables, power supply, other associated electronics, and accessory
equipment. Small cell telecommunication antennas may be installed on existing
rooftops, buildings, utility poles, light standards, or support structures where permitted in
accordance with the City's Telecommunication Facilities Siting and Permit Submittal
Requirements, as adopted by resolution of the City Council. Related telecommunication
equipment may be located within a building, an equipment cabinet outside a building, or
an equipment room within a building. Small cell antennas shall have a maximum length
of two (2) feet and a maximum volume of six (6) cubic feet. All related small cell
telecommunication equipment shall be concealed from public view
"Wireless Telecommunication facility" means any unmanned exterior facility,
including an antenna, antenna array or other communications equipment, excluding a
satellite television dish antenna, established for the purpose of providing wireless voice,
data and image transmission within a designated service area and which includes

equipment consisting of personal wireless services, as defined in the Federal
Telecommunications Act of 1996. Wireless telecommunication equipment and network
components may include towers, utility poles, transmitters, base stations and
emergency power systems. Antennas may be mounted to a building, a building rooftop
or a freestanding pole in accordance with the City's Telecommunication Facilities Siting
and Permit Submittal Requirements, as adopted by resolution of the City Council.
Equipment may be located within a building, an equipment cabinet, or an equipment
room within a building. Small cell telecommunication facilities are defined separately
Below are the proposed modifications to allow small cell telecommunication facilities in
commercial zoning districts, and to require all telecommunication facilities to be subject
to the City's Telecommunication Facilities Siting and Permit Submittal Requirements as
adopted by City Council Resolution. These requirements have been updated to include
specific information regarding small cells, and are included as Exhibit B of the attached
Planning Commission Resolution.

The purpose of requiring a CUP and not an MUP for small cell facilities in the Village
Mixed Use (VMU) and VCD zoning districts is primarily because these districts are also
within the Historic Character Overlay District (Design Overlay District 2.4). The CUP
process provides the means to evaluate any potentially significant visual or historic
impacts that might occur with the installation of these facilities on structures determined
to be locally historic or contribute to the historic significance of the village core historic
district. It also requires a public hearing, and therefore allows public input on any given
proposal.

Currently, the uses listed in the PF zoning district do not specifically address
telecommunication facilities and instead lists "public utilities and public service
substations, reservoirs, pumping plants and similar installations not including public
utility offices" as a similar use allowable with a CUP. As shown in the table below, the
proposed Development Code amendment would list both small cell telecommunication
facilities and the larger telecommunication facilities as a MUP and CUP, respectively,
subject to the Telecommunication Facilities Siting and Permit Submittal Requirements.

As mentioned above, the primary changes made to the Telecommunication Facilities
Siting and Permit Submittal Requirements are to include information about small cells.
This includes provisions relating to small cell facilities in the public right-of-way, which
would be approved through the encroachment permit process. Other changes have
been made to include requirements that have more recently been included as special
conditions of approval for telecommunication projects, such as magnetic attachment
systems where appropriate, zero interference with City communication systems, and
specific requirements for facilities in the public right of way.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Planning Commission's consideration:
1. Adopt the attached Resolution, recommending the City Council adopt an
ordinance amending AGMC Sections 16.04.0?0(C), 16.36.030(A) and
16.44.040-A relating to small cell telecommunication facilities, and a Resolution
amending the City's Telecommunication Facilities Siting and Permit Submittal
Requirements;
2. Modify and adopt the attached Resolution, recommending the City Council
adopt an Ordinance amending Arroyo Grande Municipal Code Sections
16.04.070(C), 16.36.030(A) and 16.44.040-A relating to small cell

telecommunication facilities, and a Resolution amending the City's
Telecommunication Facilities Siting and Permit Submittal Requirements;
3. Do not adopt the attached Resolution, recommend denial supported by specific
findings and direct staff to return with an appropriate Resolution; or
4. Provide other direction to Staff.
ADVANTAGES:
Adoption of an ordinance to allow small cell telecommunication facilities in the VCD
zoning district will enable telecommunication carriers to increase capacity for their
networks, thereby providing improved service to existing customers and the ability to
meet future demand The proposed permitting process allows an opportunity for a
public hearing to consider the potential visual and historic impacts of proposals. The
amended Telecommunication Siting and Submittal Requirements include stipulations
specific to small cell technology and sanction requirements usually included as special
conditions of approval for new telecommunication facilities.
DISADVANTAGES:
Implementation of an ordinance allowing small cell telecommunication facilities in the
VCD zoning district could create unintended visual impacts, such as higher parapets to
hide equipment. An ordinance adding a new Chapter to the AGMC regarding
telecommunication facilities would be superior to having the standalone
Telecommunication Siting and Submittal Requirements. However, that is a larger effort
that would take a great deal more staff time, and thus far has not been considered a
priority.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
In compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), it has been
determined that the proposed ordinance is categorically exempt per Section 15311 of
the CEQA Guidelines regarding construction or placement of minor structures
accessory to existing facilities.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION:
A notice of public hearing was published in The Tribune on Friday, November 4, 2016.
The Agenda was posted at City Hall and on the City's website in accordance with
Government Code Section 54954.2.

TELECOMMUNICATION FACILITIES
SITING and PERMIT SUBMITTAL
REQUIREMENTS
I. SITING REQUIREMENTS
The following requirements are intended to assist telecommunication service
providers and the community in understanding the City's standards and permit
process for such facilities. The goal is to balance the needs of wireless
communication providers, the regulatory functions of the City, the rights
guaranteed by the federal government, and the potential impacts upon the
community and neighboring property owners in the design and siting of
telecommunication facilities.
A. General Requirements:
1. Telecommunication facilities shall avoid any unreasonable interference
with views from neighboring properties.
2. Telecommunication facilities shall not cause any interference with City
communication systems.
3. No monopoles or towers shall be installed on top of an exposed
ridgeline or prominent slope when alternative sites are available.
4. Telecommunication facilities shall be painted color(s) that are most
compatible with their surroundings.
5. Innovative design shall be used whenever the screening potential for
the site is low. For example, designing structures that are compatible
with surrounding architecture, or appear as a natural environmental
feature, could help mitigate the visual impact of a facility.
6. Telecommunication facilities are allowed in all Mixed-Use and Public
Facility zoning designations with either an approved Minor Use Permit
or Conditional Use Permit. Telecommunication facilities are not
2017 Telecommunication Facilities Siting Requirements and Checklist
Page 1
allowed on any property with a Residential land use designation. An
exception is to place concealed facilities on non-residential structures
that are allowable in residential districts (such as within church
steeples).
7. The City lists the placement of facilities in the following preferential
order:
a. Side-mount antenna on existing structures (buildings, water tanks,
etc.) when integrated into the existing structure, completely
hidden from public view or painted and blended to match existing
structures;
b. Within or on existing signs to be completely hidden from public
view;
c. Atop existing structures (buildings, water tanks, etc.) with
appropriate visual/architectural screening to be completely hidden
from public view, and with a magnetic attachment system where
appropriate to reduce damage to existing structures;
d. Alternative tower structures (or stealth structures), such as man-
made trees, clock towers, flagpoles, steeples, false chimneys,
etc., that camouflage or conceal the presence of antennas.
e. Existing monopoles, existing electric transmission towers, and
existing lattice towers;
f. New locations.
8. The City encourages co-location of telecommunication facilities, but
only if it results in a lesser visual impact.
9. Small Cell facilities shall be considered an accessory use in zoning
districts in which telecommunications facilities are permitted.
B. Requirements for Building Mounted Antennas:
1. Building mounted antennas and all other equipment shall be in scale
and architecturally integrated with the building design in such a manner
as to be visually unobtrusive.
2. Colors and materials shall match the existing building.
3. All equipment shall be screened from public view.
4. Building mounted antennas and all other equipment shall avoid any
unreasonable interference with views from neighboring properties.
2015 Telecommunication Facilities Siting Requirements and Checklist
Page 2
C. Definition and Requirements for Small Cell Facilities:
1. A Small Cell Facility means a wireless telecommunication facility that
may consist of one or more radio receivers, antennas, interconnecting
cables, power supply, other associated electronics and accessory
equipment, which are attached to a structure (see Section E below for
requirements of small cell facilities located within the Public Right-of-
Way).
2. Antennas shall not exceed an overall length of two feet (2') and shall
be screened from view so as to not be visible to passerby on any
public street.
3. Equipment cabinets shall be located as follows so as to not be visible
to passerby on any public street:
a. within interior building space;
b. behind parapet walls;
c. within an underground vault; or
d. fully screened within a landscaped area.

Page 4
D. Co-Location Information:
Co-location is defined as the coincident placement of telecommunication carriers'
antennas on the same wireless tower or antenna-mounting structure. The
principal benefit from co-location is that fewer towers are needed to serve a given
area, thereby reducing the overall visual impact of towers on a community.
The City encourages the co-location between carriers, or the use of existing
towers wherever possible to discourage the unnecessary proliferation of towers.
The City also encourages the design of new towers which allow for future co-
location whenever feasible. Applicants proposing to site the antenna(s) must
demonstrate that reasonable efforts have been made to locate the antennas( s)
on existing antenna-mounting structures.
1. If not co-located, provide information pertaining to the feasibility of joint-
use antenna facilities, and discuss the reasons why such joint use is not a
viable option or alternative to a new facility site. This includes written
notification of refusal of the existing antenna-mounting structure owner to
lease space on the structure. Include information on lack of existing
wireless towers in the area, topography, frequency or signal interference,
line of site problems, and available land zoning restrictions as applicable.
E. Visual Impact Information:
The following information provides staff with criteria for determining the
significance of project visual impacts for CEQA purposes.
1. Submit a preliminary environmental review with special emphasis placed
upon the nature and extent of visual and aesthetic impacts.
2. Submit photo mock-ups or digital computer representations of the project
site "before" and "after" installation. Physical samples of facility materials
and/or a three-dimensional model may also be required. Show the
proposed tower, antenna(s), equipment shelters, and any landscaping or
screening proposed to lessen the visual impact of the project.
3. Submit information regarding the location of existing towers of the same,
or similar design as the proposal facility, located within 10 miles of Arroyo
Grande for viewing purposes.
4. If the project site is located within Y2 mile of a public road, residence,
public park, public hiking trail, or private easement open to the public, or if
visible from such areas, show the proposed project site from multiple
vantage points. Multiple viewpoints will require an index map and key for
identification.
5. Provide a sample of the proposed color of the tower in the form of a
minimum one square foot paint sample, and explain the reasons why that
color is best for the location proposed.
2015 Telecommunication Facilities Siting Requirements and Checklist
Page 5
6. Describe the type of landscaping proposed to screen the facility to the
maximum extent feasible, or the reasons why landscaping is not
necessary or feasible.
7. Proposed communication facilities should not be sited on ridgelines or
hilltops when alternative sites are available. If a ridgeline location is
proposed, submit written justification to the Community Development
Director. If no alternative site exists, the communications facility must be
located to minimize silhouetting on the ridgeline and must blend with the
surrounding environment to decrease visibility from off site.
8. At the time of permit renewal, any major modification to the existing
permit, or change-out of major equipment, the permit site and existing
equipment shall be reviewed for consistency with changes that could
substantially lessen visual impacts. If the Community Development
Director determines that a change would substantially lessen the visual
impacts of the facility, or if they would result in a substantial benefit to the
public, the permitee may be required to make those changes.
9. If there is a change of lessee, information regarding the type of facility that
will be used by the new lessee shall be submitted to the Community
Development Department within ten ( 10) days of that change. If the
transfer would require any changes to the facilities approved in the original
CUP, an Amended Conditional Use Permit application must be submitted.
The new lessee shall use the most current stealthing techniques available
to lessen visual impacts of the site and provide benefit to the public.
10. Describe if the proposed facility is intended to be a "Coverage" and/or
"Capacity" site.
F. Antenna/Site Capacity Information:
1. Submit information on the total available mounting heights for antennas
for the proposed antenna tower and any other structures for the proposed
project. This information may be used for future co-location of antennas
from other companies.
2. There shall be a maximum of two towers per assessor's parcel or
developed site.
Ill. PERMIT SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS FOR FACILITIES IN THE PUBLIC
RIGHT-OF-WAY
California Public Utilities Code §7901 grants telephone corporations the right to
place facilities in the public rights-of-way subject only to reasonable time, place
and manner restrictions as provided under California Public Utilities Code
§7901.1. Under CPUC §7901.1 (b ), to be reasonable, time, place and manner
restrictions must be applied to all entities in an equivalent manner. Height,
spacing, structural and safety requirements for wireless facilities on utility poles in
the right-of-way are regulated by California Public Utilities Commission General
Order 95.
