4. All conduit, cables, wires, and fiber must be routed internally in the pole. Full <br />concealment of all conduit, cables, wires, and fiber is required within mounting brackets, <br />shrouds, canisters, or sleeves if attaching to exterior antennas or equipment. <br />5. An antenna on top of an existing pole may not extend more than 6 feet above <br />the height of the existing pole and the diameter may not exceed 16 inches, measured at <br />the top of the pole, unless the applicant can demonstrate that more space is needed. The <br />antennas shall be integrated into the pole design so that they appear as a continuation of <br />the original pole, including colored or painted to match the pole, and shall be shrouded or <br />screened to blend with the pole except for canister antennas, which shall not require <br />screening. To the extent technically feasible, all cabling and mounting hardware/brackets <br />from the bottom of the antenna to the top of the pole shall be fully concealed and <br />integrated with the pole. <br />6. Any replacement pole shall substantially conform to the design of the pole it <br />is replacing (including but not limited to color, shape and style) or the neighboring pole <br />design standards utilized within the contiguous right-of-way. <br />7. The height of any replacement pole and antenna(s) may not extend more <br />than 10 feet above the height of the existing pole or the minimum additional height <br />necessary; provided, that the height of the replacement pole cannot be extended further <br />by additional antenna height. <br />8. The diameter of a replacement pole shall comply with the City's setback and <br />sidewalk clearance requirements and shall, to the extent technically feasible, not be more <br />than a 25 percent increase of the existing pole measured at the base of the pole, unless <br />additional diameter is needed in order to conceal equipment within the base of the pole. <br />D. Wooden Pole Design Standards. In addition to complying with the applicable <br />general standards in TMC Section 23.04.100.A and TMC Section 23.04.100.B, small <br />wireless facilities attached to existing or replacement wooden utility poles and other <br />wooden poles inside or outside the right-of-way shall conform to the following design <br />criteria: <br />1. The wooden pole at the proposed location may be replaced with a taller pole <br />for the purpose of accommodating a small wireless facility; provided, that the replacement <br />pole shall not exceed a height that is a maximum of 10 feet taller than the existing pole, <br />unless a further height increase is required and confirmed in writing by the pole owner <br />and that such height extension is the minimum extension possible to provide sufficient <br />separation and/or clearance from electrical and wireline facilities. <br />2. A pole extender may be used instead of replacing an existing pole, but may <br />not increase the height of the existing pole by more than 10 feet, unless a further height <br />increase is required and confirmed in writing by the pole owner and that such height <br />increase is the minimum extension possible to provide sufficient separation and/or <br />CC: Legislative Development\Ordinances\INTERIM Small wireless Communication Facilities 3-31-21 <br />EM:bjs Review and analysis by Barbara Saxton <br />Page 16 of 22 <br />21 <br />
