(a) The City shall not approve the proposed location of ground-mounted small cell equipment unless the applicant:
(1) Proposes the ground-mounted installation in connection with a collocation; and
(2) Shows that the small cell equipment cannot be feasibly placed on a 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/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 anyway.
