(B) 17 cubic feet for small wireless facilities in all other locations. These limits <br /> shall not be applicable to undergrounded accessory equipment. <br /> (3) Undergrounded Equipment. Consistent with CPUC and local policies, the <br /> City strongly prefers undergrounded accessory equipment whenever possible <br /> because it mitigates unnecessary physical obstructions and aesthetic harm <br /> caused by unsightly infrastructure in the public rights-of-way. This Section <br /> 12(c)(3) sets out specific preferences and standards for undergrounded <br /> accessory equipment. <br /> (A) Where Required. Accessory equipment (other than any electric meter <br /> (where permitted) and an emergency disconnect switch) shall be placed <br /> underground when proposed in any (i) underground utility district; (ii) any <br /> area where all existing utilities are substantially undergrounded; or (iii) any <br /> location where the approval authority finds substantial evidence that the <br /> additional above-ground accessory equipment would incommode the <br /> public's uses in the public rights-of-way. <br /> (B) Equipment Vaults. All undergrounded accessory equipment must be <br /> installed in an environmentally controlled vault that is load-rated to meet the <br /> City's standards and specifications. Underground vaults located beneath a <br /> sidewalk must be constructed with a slip-resistant cover and properly <br /> secured to prevent unauthorized access. Vents for airflow shall be flush-to- <br /> grade when placed within the sidewalk and may not exceed two feet above <br /> grade when placed off the sidewalk. Vault lids may contain manufacturer <br /> and site operator information but shall not exhibit commercial <br /> advertisements. <br /> (4) Base-Mounted Accessory Equipment. This Section 12(c)(4) sets out specific <br /> preferences and standards for base-mounted accessory equipment. <br /> (A) Stealth/Concealment. Base-mounted accessory equipment enclosures <br /> must be stealth to the maximum extent feasible and architecturally <br /> integrated with the pole and surrounding environment. For poles that <br /> already include a larger or decorative base, the base-mounted accessory <br /> equipment enclosure should mimic the existing design and/or decorative <br /> features. Base-mounted accessory equipment enclosures should include a <br /> tapered or decorative transition between the enclosure and the pole, unless <br /> (i) the proposed facility is a pre-approved design that does not include such <br /> a transition or (ii) the approval authority finds that such a transition would <br /> be less aesthetically desirable considering the pole and surrounding <br /> environment. <br /> (B) Maximum Dimensions. Any base-mounted accessory equipment <br /> enclosure integrated into the pole shall not exceed the following <br /> dimensions: (i) 48 inches in height, measured from grade level to the <br /> Small Wireless Facilities Policy (City of Pleasanton) page 26/47 <br />
