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