Section 17-35-075 - Small Cell Facilities#

A small cell facility may be deployed in the public rights-of-way, including utilization of a traffic signal, street light pole, or similar structure within a public right-of-way. Such facilities shall remain subject to the following criteria below:

(A) Attachments to Existing Infrastructure#

Attachment of small cell facilities on an existing or replacement traffic light pole, street light standard or other vertical infrastructure is encouraged. These facilities may be permitted provided that:

  1. The owner of the vertical infrastructure approves the use;

  2. The small cell facility does not exceed the height of the existing infrastructure on which it is mounted by more than ten feet;

  3. Antenna installations on traffic signal standards are placed in a manner so that the size, appearance and function of the traffic signal will not be considerably altered;

  4. Each antenna is located inside an enclosure of no more than three cubic feet in volume or, in the case of an antenna that has exposed elements, the antenna and all of its exposed elements could fit within an imaginary enclosure of no more than three cubic feet.

(B) Freestanding Facilities#

Where a new freestanding facility is proposed (that is not an attachment to existing infrastructure or a replacement pole), a freestanding small cell facility may be permitted, provided that:

  1. The maximum facility height, including both vertical infrastructure and antenna, is not more than forty feet.

  2. Each antenna is located inside an enclosure of no more than three cubic feet in volume or, in the case of an antenna that has exposed elements, the antenna and all of its exposed elements could fit within an imaginary enclosure of no more than three cubic feet.

(C) Separation Requirements#

Any new pole for a small cell facility shall be separated from any other freestanding small cell facility in the public right-of-way by a distance of at least 600 feet. The city manager, or his or her designee, may exempt an applicant from this requirement if: (i) the applicant demonstrates through technical network documentation that the minimum separation requirement cannot be satisfied for technical reasons, or (ii) the city manager, or his or her designee, when considering the surrounding topography, the nature of adjacent uses and nearby properties, and the height of existing structures

(D)#

When placed in a residential zone, the small cell facility shall be placed adjacent to the common side yard property line between adjoining residential properties, so that the small cell facility minimizes visual impacts equitably among adjacent properties. In the case of a corner lot, the small cell facility may be placed adjacent to the common side yard property line between adjoining residential properties or on the corner formed by two intersecting streets.

(E)#

Multiple users. To the extent reasonably feasible from a construction, engineering, or design perspective, all small cell facilities shall be designed and constructed to permit any such facility to accommodate at least two wireless service providers on the same facility.

(F)#

Small cell facilities installed adjacent to sidewalks or trails shall be placed in a manner that reasonably ensures that the safety of pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists is not impaired.

(G)#

Applications for small cell facilities in the public right-of-way shall be processed and reviewed using the review procedures and requirements described in section 17-35-020 B.M.C. The following shall also apply to small cell facility applications:

  1. For small cell networks involving multiple individual small cell facilities the city will allow the applicant, at the applicant's discretion, to file a consolidated application with up to twenty-five small cell facilities, all of which are substantially the same type, and receive a single approval for the small cell network instead of filing separate applications for each individual small cell facility;

  2. For a consolidated application, each small cell facility within the consolidated application remains subject to review for compliance with the requirements of this section. The denial of any individual small cell facility is not a basis to deny the consolidated application as a whole or any other small cell facility incorporated within the consolidated application;

  3. A contractor's license and liability insurance must be completed and on file with the community development department when working in the right-of-way and/or connecting to a public utility.

(H)#

Compatibility required. The small cell facility shall utilize or replace existing permitted facilities (including traffic signs, traffic signals, light poles or light standards) so that the presence of the small cell facility is not readily apparent or, if a new freestanding installation is requested, the small cell facility design will be consistent with nearby architectural features or be consistent with the general size and shape of pole-mounted equipment installed by communication companies on utility poles within 300 feet of the facility.

(I)#

Non-reflective materials. The visible exterior surfaces of small cell facilities, such as poles, antennas, vaults and equipment enclosure structures shall be constructed out of or finished with non-reflective materials and shall be painted to match as closely as possible the color and texture of the vertical infrastructure on which it is mounted.

(J)#

Indemnification. As a condition of approval, the wireless service provider shall agree, at its sole cost and expense, to indemnify, hold harmless and faithfully defend the city, its officials, boards, commissions, commissioners, agents and employees against any claims, suits, causes of action, proceedings and judgments for damages or equitable relief arising out of the construction, maintenance or operation of its equipment authorized by this section. This will apply whether the act or omission complained of is authorized, allowed or prohibited by applicable law or a permit requirement.

(K)

Operation and maintenance. To ensure the structural integrity of small cell facilities, the owner of a small cell facility shall ensure that it is maintained in compliance with standards contained in applicable local building and safety codes. If upon inspection, the city concludes that a small cell facility fails to comply with such codes and constitutes a danger to persons or property, then, upon written notice being provided to the owner of the small cell facility, the owner shall have thirty days from the date of notice to bring such small cell facility into compliance. Upon good cause shown by the owner, the city manager may extend such compliance period. If the owner fails to bring such small cell facility into compliance within said time, the city may remove such small cell facility at the owner's expense.

(L)

Exclusion of competitors prohibited. No small cell facility owner or lessee, or officer or employee thereof, shall act to exclude or to attempt to exclude any other competitor from using the same structure for the location of other antennas.

(M)

The applicant for a small cell facility shall send notice regarding their application to property owners of record located within 100 feet of each proposed small cell facility. Such notice shall occur within one week of the application submittal to the City and County of Broomfield and shall include contact information for the applicant, contact information for the City and County of Broomfield Community Development Department, a location map for the proposed facility, construction phasing plan for small cell network and a description of the proposed improvement.

(Ord. No. 2070, § 5, 8-28-18)

17-35-080 - No expansion or alteration of nonconforming use.

Towers and monopoles that are constructed and antennas that are installed in accordance with the provisions of this chapter shall not be deemed to constitute the expansion or alteration of a nonconforming use or structure.

(Ord. 1514 §1, 2000)

17-35-090 - Special mitigation measures; co-location.

The city encourages co-location of wireless communications facilities to minimize the number of sites.

(A)

No wireless communications facility owner or operator shall unfairly exclude a competitor from using the same facility or location. Unfair exclusion of use by a competitor may result in the revocation of the administratively approved use, use by special review, or site development plan.

(B)

If a competitor attempts to co-locate a facility on an existing or approved facility or location, and the parties cannot reach agreement, the city may require a third party technical study at the expense of either or both of the parties to determine the feasibility of co-location.

(Ord. 1194 §9, 1996; Ord. 1514 §1, 2000)

17-35-100 - Abandonment.

At the request of the city, the operator must furnish a statement to the city indicating the operational status of the facility, and without such request must notify the city if use of a facility has been discontinued or transferred to another entity. If the use has been discontinued, the date on which the facility was last used shall be provided. Wireless communications facilities, including accessory equipment, not used for a continuous period of six months shall be disassembled within twelve months of the last use. If abandoned facilities are not removed, the city may have the facilities removed at the applicant's expense. If two or more providers of wireless communications service use an antenna support structure or related equipment, the period of nonuse under this section shall be measured from the cessation of operation at the location by all such users. Failure to remove shall constitute a public nuisance.

(Ord. 1194 §9, 1996; Ord. 1514 §1, 2000)

17-35-110 - Prohibition; penalty.
