<br />Wireless Telecommunications Facilities Policy (City of Pleasanton) page 20 / 37 <br />conditions or restrictions in any permit or other governmental approval issued <br />by any public agency with jurisdiction over the project. <br /> <br />(18) Licensed Engineer. All construction plans, specifications, and reports <br />concerning the requirements of this Section 12 must be prepared and sealed <br />by a California licensed civil, structural, or geotechnical engineer, as applicable. <br /> <br />(b) Towers and Freestanding Wireless Facilities. In addition to all other design <br />requirements in this policy, the following provisions shall be applied to an <br />application for a tower or other freestanding wireless facility: <br /> <br />(1) Quantity. No more than one tower or other freestanding wireless facility shall <br />be permitted on any one parcel unless the proposed tower or other freestanding <br />wireless facility is stealth with concealment elements pursuant to this Section <br />12. <br /> <br />(2) Placement. Towers or other freestanding wireless facilities shall be located <br />near existing structures or trees at similar heights for screening purposes <br />wherever feasible, but not be located between the face of a building and a <br />public right-of-way or park. <br /> <br />(3) Height Limitation. All towers and freestyle wireless facilities shall be designed <br />at the lowest possible height necessary to achieve the applicant’s service <br />objectives with the slimmest profile possible for structural support. All towers <br />and other freestanding wireless facilities shall not exceed the heigh limit for <br />structures in the applicable zoning district. The height of a tower or freestanding <br />wireless facility shall be measured from the natural undisturbed ground surface <br />below the center of the base of the tower or freestanding wireless facility itself <br />to the top of the pole or other support structure, highest antenna, piece of <br />accessory equipment or stealth element, whichever is highest. <br /> <br />(4) Fall Zone. All towers and freestanding wireless facilities must be setback from <br />habitable structures approved for residential occupancy by a distance equal to <br />one horizontal foot for every foot of the tower height, or the distance from the <br />highest engineered break point to the top of the tower. The approval autho rity <br />may waive the setback requirement for freestanding towers that meet Class 3 <br />structural standards for critical infrastructure as defined in the most current <br />revision of the ANSI/TIA-222 Structural Standard for Antenna Supporting <br />Structures, Antennas and Small Wind Turbine Support Structures. <br /> <br />(5) Tower-Mounted Equipment. All tower-mounted equipment must be mounted <br />as close to the vertical support structure as possible to reduce its overall visual <br />profile. Applicants must mount non-antenna, tower-mounted equipment <br />(including, but not limited to, remote radio units/heads, surge suppressors and <br />utility demarcation boxes) directly behind the antennas to the maximum extent <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 51CE5BDE-55F1-4B3D-8865-17E5814CF0C5
