Small Wireless Facilities Policy (City of Pleasanton) page 25 / 47 within a unified shroud or “radome”. Antenna shrouds must be visually consistent with the underlying pole’s design, color and scale. Antenna shrouds placed above a pole must taper down to the point where the shroud and pole connect to conceal the cables below the antennas and create a smooth transition into the pole. All antenna mounting posts shall be trimmed so that the post does not extend above the antenna. For antennas approved to be affixed to the side of the pole within a shroud, all cables must be concealed within the shroud and extension arm, if any, to create a smooth transition into the pole, or back into the external conduit on the pole, if attached to a wood pole. (3) Volume. Any individual antenna (including its shroud or other stealth or concealment device) shall not exceed three cubic feet in volume. The cumulative limit for all antennas (including their shrouds or other stealth or concealment devices) on a single small wireless facility shall not exceed: (A) three cubic feet for small wireless facilities within 100 feet from a residential dwelling unit; or (B) six cubic feet for small wireless facilities in all other locations. (4) Strand-Mounted Antennas. No more than one strand-mounted small wireless facility may be installed on any single span between two poles. All equipment and other improvements associated with a strand -mounted small wireless facility must comply with all applicable health and safety regulations. Strand- mounted wireless facilities shall not exceed one cubic foot in total volume. “Snow shoes” and other spooled fiber or cables are prohibited. (c) Accessory Equipment. In addition to all generally applicable design standards in Section 12(a), this Section 12(c) sets out specific preferences and standards for accessory equipment. (1) Placement Preferences. This subsection describes the City’s general preferences for accessory equipment placement and configuration on or around the pole. Applicants shall propose small wireless facilities in compliance with these preferences to the maximum extent feasible. The approval authority may approve a lesser-preferred configuration for the accessory equipment when the applicant demonstrates that more-preferred configurations are technically infeasible or the approval authority finds that a lesser-preferred configuration is more consistent with existing poles and the surrounding environment. The City generally prefers accessory equipment to be placed, ordered from most preferred to least preferred, as follows: (A) within an environmentally controlled underground equipment vault; (B) within an architecturally integrated enclosure at the base of the pole; (C) within a shroud mounted above ground level on the pole; Docusign Envelope ID: 51CE5BDE-55F1-4B3D-8865-17E5814CF0C5
