1022.03   SPECIFICATIONS FOR COLLOCATION.
   (a)   Small cell equipment shall not interfere with the primary purpose of a wireless support structure.
   (b)   Small cell equipment to be attached to a wireless support structure shall be attached at least eight feet above ground level. If small cell equipment is projecting toward the street then the small cell equipment shall be installed no less than sixteen feet above ground level.
(Ord. 18-82. Passed 7-24-18; Ord. 19-26. Passed 2-19-19.)
1022.04   ANTENNAS.
   (a)   Antennas and accessory equipment must be capable of fitting inside an enclosure not larger than six cubic feet in volume.
   (b)   Antennas and accessory equipment shall not increase the overall height of an existing wireless support structure with such antennas and accessory equipment by more than five feet; provided, however, that the permissible increase in height resulting from collocation or installation of a small wireless facility on a wireless support structure shall be as provided in Section 1022.01(b)(13).
   (c)   Antennas mounted on a wireless support structure shall be enclosed inside the wireless support structure whenever possible and otherwise within a canister, shroud, or other enclosure. All accessory equipment associated with the antennas shall be concealed and shall not visibly protrude from the shroud or canister.
   (d)   The width of the canister or other shroud encasing the antennas and accessory equipment shall not exceed the width of the narrowest portion of the wireless support structure.
   (e)   The enclosure or shroud shall be painted to match or complement the wireless support structure.
   (f)   Antennas shall be installed in a manner that minimizes the visual impact to the general public.
   (g)   Antennas shall not impair light or views from adjacent window(s).
   (h)   Antennas located on the exterior of a wireless support structure shall be top-mounted on a wireless support structure. The City may approve a side-mounted antenna if, in the City's discretion, the side-mounted antenna would be more appropriate given the built environment, neighborhood character, overall site appearance or would promote the purposes in these design guidelines.
(Ord. 18-82. Passed 7-24-18; Ord. 19-26. Passed 2-19-19.)
1022.05   WIRELESS SUPPORT STRUCTURE-MOUNTED EQUIPMENT.
   (a)   All wireless support structure-mounted small cell equipment other than the antenna(s) and electric meter must be concealed within an equipment cabinet.
   (b)   Equipment cabinets shall be mounted flush to the wireless support structure.
   (c)   Equipment cabinets shall be stacked together on the same side of the wireless support structure and oriented away from any windows and doorways to minimize visual impacts thereupon.
   (d)   The equipment cabinets must be non-reflective and painted, wrapped or otherwise colored to match the wireless support structure.
(Ord. 18-82. Passed 7-24-18; Ord. 19-26. Passed 2-19-19.)
1022.06   GROUND-MOUNTED SMALL CELL EQUIPMENT.
   (a)   The City shall not approve the proposed location of ground-mounted small cell equipment unless the applicant:
      (1)   Proposes the ground-mounted equipment in connection with a collocation; and
      (2)   Shows that the equipment cannot be feasibly placed on the wireless support structure or in an underground vault.
   (b)   If technically feasible, small cell equipment should be located in a vault buried underground rather than being ground-mounted. If underground placement is not technically feasible, ground-mounted small cell equipment shall be contained in a shroud or cabinet.
   (c)   All ground-mounted small cell equipment shall be installed in a manner that minimizes the visual and ingress and egress impact to the general public.
   (d)   Ground-mounted small cell equipment shall be placed as far as practicable from pedestrian sidewalks and shall neither block nor be placed within the sidewalk in any way.
(Ord. 18-82. Passed 7-24-18; Ord. 19-26. Passed 2-19-19.)
1022.07   CABLES.
   (a)   All cables, conduit and wiring shall be located inside conduit and inside the wireless support structure or an equipment cabinet.
