(A) In addition to the requirements of Title 15, these design guidelines for wireless communications facilities ("design guidelines") provide guidance to wireless communications carriers on the aesthetic requirements and specifications that all small cell facilities and wireless support structures must meet prior to installation in the Village of Mariemont right-of-way.
(B) The objective of the design guidelines is to strike a balance between preserving the character of the village, architecturally and visually, through careful design, siting, landscaping and camouflaging techniques to blend these facilities into their environment, while enhancing the ability of wireless communications carriers to deploy small cell facilities and wireless support structures in the village quickly, effectively, and efficiently so that residents, businesses, and visitors benefit from wireless service availability.
(C) The intent of the design guidelines is also to protect the public health, safety and general welfare and to provide wireless communications service to the community in a safe, effective and efficient manner.
(D) The design guidelines provide for the managed development of wireless communications and are intended to allow sufficient flexibility to respond to and integrate changes in safety regulations, future advances in small cell facilities technology as well as innovations that improve the ability for these facilities to integrate into the surrounding environment. Due to the rapid advances in wireless technology, the design guidelines will be evaluated periodically to ensure that the provisions respond and adapt accordingly to these evolving technologies.
(E) These guidelines apply to requests to locate small cell facilities and wireless support structures in the right-of-way and are administered by the village Building Department. That office can be reached at 513-271-3315.
