Small Wireless Facilities Policy (City of Pleasanton) page 13 / 47 batch; (7) the applicant shall obtain individual construction, encroachment, excavation, traffic control and other similar ministerial permits for each substantially similar wireless broadband project or small wireless facility approved or deemed-approved in a batch; and (8) the Director will have final authority over whether all wireless broadband projects or small wireless facilities in a batch are “substantially similar”. (e) Voluntary Pre-Application Conferences. The Department shall provide prospective applicants with the opportunity to schedule and attend a voluntary pre- application conference with Department staff. The City strongly encourages, but does not require, pre-application conferences for all applications. This voluntary pre-application conference process, including but not limited to any requests for conferences or meetings, submittal of pre-application materials, or the occurrence of any conferences or meetings, does not, and shall not be deemed to, commence any shot clocks. This voluntary pre-application conference is intended to streamline the review process through informal discussion that includes, without limitation, the appropriate project classification and review process, any latent issues in connection with the proposed or existing small wireless facility, such as compliance with generally applicable rules for public health and safety; potential stealth or concealment issues or concerns (if applicable); coordination with other City departments and/or divisions responsible for application review; and application completeness issues. To mitigate unnecessary delays due to application incompleteness, applicants are encouraged (but not required) to bring any draft applications or other materials so that City staff may provide informal feedback and guidance about whether such applications or other materials may be incomplete or unacceptable. The Department shall use reasonable efforts to provide the applicant with an appointment within five working days after receiving a written request and any applicable fee or deposit to reimburse the City for its reasonable costs to provide the services rendered in the pre-application conference. (f) Application Submittal. Unless the Director establishes an alternative submittal procedure pursuant to Section 6, all applications submitted, or resubmitted in response to an incomplete notice as the case may be, under this policy must be submitted to the Department through the online permitting portal only during the Department’s “Permit Center Hours” as published on the Department’s website. The Department’s Permit Center Hours exclude City holidays or other days that the City is closed. Any applications submitted, or resubmitted as the case may be, after such Permit Center Hours will be deemed submitted, or resubmitted, and received by the Department at the start of “Permit Center Hours” on the next scheduled working day. Any application received in a manner not authorized by this policy or alternatives established by the Director, whether delivered in-person, by mail, electronically or through any other means, will not be considered duly filed whether the City retains the submitted materials or not.
