A “pedestrian-oriented area” includes any area planned for or currently exhibiting the following characteristics: areas generally characterized by buildings built up to the public sidewalk, where the public sidewalk is generally eight feet or wider and often has a furnishing zone adjacent to the curb in which street trees, streetlights, and pedestrian amenities are located. Pedestrian-oriented areas may also include shared streets designed for multiple users, such as “woonerfs.” Pedestrian-oriented areas include, but are not limited to:

1. Downtown between First and Fifth Streets, between Adams and Johnson.

2. Pedestrian-oriented streets and woonerfs within the Northeast Gateway overlay district within the boundaries described in the ordinance, including Alpine Avenue.

Public Right-of-Way. In the event certain poles on which SWFs are to be co-located are within a public utility easement which abuts and parallels the public right-of-way, the definition of “public right-of-way” includes these public utility easements.

“Replacement pole,” as used in this article, means a pole which replaces an existing pole such as a streetlight pole, on which a SWF will locate, and which is designed by the manufacturer to accommodate SWF installations, engineered for, and capable of supporting permitted antennas within authorized antenna enclosures, with capability for internal wiring and cabling, and with an integrated equipment cabinet in the pole base, which meets the design and dimensional requirements of this article.

“Small wireless facilities (SWF),” for purposes of these standards, means telecommunication facilities and equipment that meet the definition of small wireless facilities as stated in 47 CFR Subpart U, Section 1.60002(l), consistent with Section 1.1312(e)(2) of the applicable CFR that meet each of the following conditions:

1. The facilities:

a. Are mounted on structures 50 feet in height or less including their antennas as defined in Section 1.1320(d) of the applicable CFR; or

b. Are mounted on structures no more than 10 percent taller than other adjacent structures; or

c. Do not extend existing structures on which they are located to a height of more than 50 feet or by more than 10 percent, whichever is greater;

2. Each antenna associated with the deployment, excluding associated antenna equipment (as defined in the definition of antenna in Section 1.1320(d)) of the applicable CFR, is no more than three cubic feet in volume;

3. All other wireless equipment associated with the structure, including the wireless equipment associated with the antenna and any preexisting associated equipment on the structure, is no more than 28 cubic feet in volume;

4. The facilities do not require antenna structure registration under Part 17 of the applicable chapter of the CFR;

5. The facilities are not located on Tribal lands, as defined under 36 CFR 800.16(x); and

6. The facilities do not result in human exposure to radio frequency radiation in excess of the applicable safety standards specified in Section 1.1307(b) of the applicable CFR. (Ord. 5067 §1 (Exh. A (part)), 2019).
