Wireless Telecommunications Facilities Policy (City of Pleasanton) page 14 / 37 application after review (whether by affirmation or reversal), the written notice to the applicant must contain the reasons for the denial . The City Council’s decision shall be final and not subject to any further City appeals or petitions for reconsideration. Section 11. LOCATION STANDARDS (a) Preface. This section sets out criteria to determine the preferred location and support structure for wireless facilities. The City considers the most preferred location and support structure to be the least intrusive means for an applicant to provide its services to the public. Subsection (b)(1) describes general plan areas and land use designations where wireless facilities are generally most preferred. Subsection (b)(2) provides specific locations where wireless facilities are discouraged. It is possible for a proposed facility to be simultaneously in a “preferred” and “discouraged” location, for example, a facility within a commercial district that is also within 100 feet of a residential dwelling unit. In such cases, the location shall be deemed a “discouraged” location. (b) Locations. To assist applicants, staff, and the approval authority to understand and respond to the community’s aesthetic preferences and values, this subsection (b) describes preferred and discouraged locations for wireless facilities. (1) Preferred Locations. All applicants must, to the extent technically feasible and potentially available, propose new wireless facilities in a preferred location. When a parcel is zoned Planned Unit Development (“PUD”), the land use designations listed under the particular PUD will apply, or if no land use designations as stated in the General Plan Land Use Map are listed, or the land use designations listed invoke multiple types of land use designations (e.g., high density residential/commercial), staff may apply development standards appropriate for the parcel. The following locations are all considered “preferred locations” and are ranked in order of most preferred to least preferred. Applicants must propose new facilities on parcels with the most preferred land use designation whenever technically feasible and potentially available. Applications must include a written justification as part of their application submittal, supported by factual and verifiable evidence, that demonstrates no location with a more preferred land use designation is technically feasible and available . Alternatively, an applicant can propose a facility in a less preferred location (without showing feasibility and availability) if the facility is stealth with concealment elements pursuant to Section 12: (A) parcels within a land use designation of industrial; (B) parcels within a land use designation of commercial; (C) parcels within a land use designation of office; (D) parcels within a land use designation of mixed use; Docusign Envelope ID: 51CE5BDE-55F1-4B3D-8865-17E5814CF0C5
