Small Wireless Facilities Policy (City of Pleasanton) page 46 / 47 15(b) in addition to the findings required under Section 10(b). Each exception is specific to the facts and circumstances in connection with each application. An exception granted in one instance shall not be deemed to create a presumption or expectation that an exception will be granted in any other instance. (b) Required Findings. The approval authority shall not grant any limited exception pursuant to this Section 15 unless the approval authority finds all the following: (1) the applicant has provided the approval authority with a reasonable and clearly defined technical service objective to be achieved by the proposed small wireless facility; (2) the applicant has provided the approval authority with a detailed written statement that explains why: (A) a denial based on the application’s noncompliance with a specific provision or requirement would violate federal law, state law or both; or (B) a provision in this policy, as applied to the applicant, would violate any rights or privileges conferred on the applicant by federal or state law; (3) the applicant has provided the approval authority with a written statement that contains a detailed and fact-specific explanation as to why the proposed small wireless facility cannot be deployed in compliance with the applicable provisions in this policy, the Municipal Code, the general plan and/or any specific plan; (4) the applicant has provided the approval authority with a meaningful comparative analysis with the factual reasons why all alternative locations and/or designs identified in the administrative record (whether suggested by the applicant, the City, public comments or any other source) are not technically feasible or potentially available to reasonably achieve the applicant’s reasonable and clearly defined technical service objective to be achieved by the proposed small wireless facility; (5) the applicant has demonstrated that the proposed location and design is the least non-compliant configuration that will reasonably achieve the applicant’s reasonable and clearly defined technical service objective to be achieved by the proposed small wireless facility, which includes without limitation a meaningful comparative analysis into multiple smaller or less intrusive facilities dispersed throughout the intended service area; (6) the exception requested by the applicant does not compromise or excuse compliance with any fire safety or other public safety standard; and (7) the exception is narrowly tailored such that any deviation from this policy is only to extent necessary for compliance with federal or state law.
