Planning Board Meeting Agenda April 8, 2019
7-A 2019-6757 Public Hearing on the Wireless Communication Facilities Design
Guidelines. In September 2019, the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) issued a ruling on small cell wireless facilities to be
placed in the public right of way. The FCC decision asks local
governments to publish any aesthetic standards by April 15, 2019, so
the City has prepared design guidelines prior to this date to ensure
that new small cell wireless facilities are screened and camouflaged as
much as possible. The design guidelines are published on the City’s
website and a copy of the policy will be distributed to any small cell
applicant. Preparation of these design guidelines is exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section
15061(b)(3), as it can be seen with certainty that implementation of
aesthetic guidelines will have no significant effect on the environment
