PLANNING DIVISION

WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS ORDINANCE

As a follow up to a moratorium on ground-mounted commercial wireless facilities in residential zones that was adopted in June 2007 by the City Council, staff is proposing changes to both Title 12 and Title 17 of the Pasadena Municipal Code as it affects equipment cabinets and wireless telecommunications facilities throughout the City. Specifically, staff is proposing new regulations and a permitting procedure in Title 12 for telecommunication equipment facilities (includes video, cable, wireless etc.) that are located in the public right-of-way.

Staff is also proposing updates to Section 17.50.310 of the Pasadena Zoning Code that regulates wireless telecommunication facilities on private property. Staff is proposing changes to some of the existing development standards and proposing new development standards. The proposed regulations also include an Opportunities Map that identifies City owned property that may be preferred for such facilities instead of a location in the public right-of-way. Minor technical clean-up to the existing Title 18 and prior uncodified resolutions are also proposed to establish consistency with the Title 12 and Title 17 amendments.
