<br /> <br />Small Wireless Facilities Policy (City of Pleasanton) page 26 / 47 <br />(D) within a separate surface-mounted equipment cabinet. <br /> <br />(2) Volume. The cumulative limit for all accessory equipment (including their <br />shrouds, cabinets or other stealth or concealment devices) on a single small <br />wireless facility shall not exceed: (A) nine cubic feet for small wireless facilities <br />within a residential district or within 100 feet from a residential dwelling unit; or <br />(B) 17 cubic feet for small wireless facilities in all other locations. These limits <br />shall not be applicable to undergrounded accessory equipment. <br /> <br />(3) Undergrounded Equipment. Consistent with CPUC and local policies, the <br />City strongly prefers undergrounded accessory equipment whenever possible <br />because it mitigates unnecessary physical obstructions and aesthetic harm <br />caused by unsightly infrastructure in the public rights-of-way. This Section <br />12(c)(3) sets out specific preferences and standards for undergrounded <br />accessory equipment. <br /> <br />(A) Where Required. Accessory equipment (other than any electric meter <br />(where permitted) and an emergency disconnect switch) shall be placed <br />underground when proposed in any (i) underground utility district ; (ii) any <br />area where all existing utilities are substantially undergrounded; or (iii) any <br />location where the approval authority finds substantial evidence that the <br />additional above-ground accessory equipment would incommode the <br />public’s uses in the public rights-of-way. <br /> <br />(B) Equipment Vaults. All undergrounded accessory equipment must be <br />installed in an environmentally controlled vault that is load-rated to meet the <br />City’s standards and specifications. Underground vaults located beneath a <br />sidewalk must be constructed with a slip-resistant cover and properly <br />secured to prevent unauthorized access. Vents for airflow shall be flush-to- <br />grade when placed within the sidewalk and may not exceed two feet above <br />grade when placed off the sidewalk. Vault lids may contain manufacturer <br />and site operator information but shall not exhibit commercial <br />advertisements. <br /> <br />(4) Base-Mounted Accessory Equipment. This Section 12(c)(4) sets out specific <br />preferences and standards for base-mounted accessory equipment. <br /> <br />(A) Stealth/Concealment. Base-mounted accessory equipment enclosures <br />must be stealth to the maximum extent feasible and architecturally <br />integrated with the pole and surrounding environment. For poles that <br />already include a larger or decorative base, the base-mounted accessory <br />equipment enclosure should mimic the existing design and/or decorative <br />features. Base-mounted accessory equipment enclosures should include a <br />tapered or decorative transition between the enclosure and the pole, unless <br />(i) the proposed facility is a pre-approved design that does not include such <br />a transition or (ii) the approval authority finds that such a transition would <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 51CE5BDE-55F1-4B3D-8865-17E5814CF0C5
