Such measures are not considered part of the small cell facility for purposes of facility size restrictions in this Chapter or Chapter 961 of the Codified Ordinances.

(2) A utility easement the service provider has the right to access; and
(3) Other suitable locations or structures made available by the City at reasonable rates, fees and terms.
