AT&T Small Cell Site ID: CRAN_RLOS_HBNPB_047 Alternative Sites Analysis May 5, 2020 City streetlight No. SLC0007 located on the west side of Channel Road, approximately 110 feet south of E. Ocean Boulevard. 2 Map of Small Cell Node CRAN_RLOS_HBNPB_047 and Alternative Sites On this aerial map, AT&T’s proposed Small Cell Polygon Node# HBNPB_047 is designated by a red marker and the alternative sites are identified by yellow markers. 3 Proposed Small Cell Node CRAN_RLOS_HBNPB_047 •AT&T is committed to providing and improving wireless telecommunications services and faster data rates throughout the City of Newport Beach. •Rather than construct traditional macro facilities, AT&T ’s solution is to deploy very small facilities, called “small cells,” that can be installed on utility infrastructure in the public right‐of‐way. •A small cell is a low‐powered cell site,which,when grouped with other small cells,can provide coverage in areas where traditional macro wireless facilities are discouraged. •Small cells are effective tools to provide and improve critical wireless services with a minimal impact. By placing small cells in areas where AT&T’s existing facilities are constrained and where AT&T experiences high network traffic, AT&T can address existing and forecasted demands. •Small Cell Node CRAN_RLOS_HBNPB_047 will improve signal quality and capacity within AT&T ’s wireless network. 4 •AT&T proposes to place Small Cell on a replacement city owned streetlight in the public right of way. (Lat/Long 33.595654, ‐117.882205). The proposed node on Channel Road. •AT&T proposed node is a stealth facility under City Code §20.49.030(N) and is designed to be as visually inconspicuous as possible. •The proposed node is within a parkway portion of the street right‐of way between tall palm trees. It is adjacent to a two‐story residential home. •AT&T determined that this location is viable in that necessary utilities are available,and this location is feasible from a radio frequency perspective. The location is free of obstructions and has good line of site to meet coverage objectives.AT&T will need to install a replacement pole to accommodate Small Cell. Small Cell Node CRAN_RLOS_HBNPB_047 -Proposed Location City streetlight No. SLC0007 located on the west side of Channel Road, approximately 110 feet south of E. Ocean Boulevard. •Photo Simulation of Proposed Small Cell 5 •Alternative Site #1 is a city streetlight located within the West Jetty View Park. This site is in a landscaped area, approximately 130 feet south of the subject node. •The streetlight is near the beach area and adjacent to a residential home. •This alternative is not accessible directly from the street right‐of‐way for construction and maintenance purposes. •Installation of small cell at this alternative would require trenching within park lawn and landscape area. •It is visible from the park and beach areas. •Small cell at this alternative location would require major disruption of the park areas and would be more visually intrusive. •This alternative was not selected for this project. Small Cell Node CRAN_RLOS_HBNPB_047 –Alternative Site #1 City streetlight No. SLC0006 located approximately 80 feet south of the intersection of Channel Road and East Ocean Front. 6 •Alternative Site #2 is a city streetlight located within the West Jetty View Park. This site is approximately 55 feet southeast of the subject node. •The streetlight is within a landscaped area of the park near palm trees. •This alternative is not accessible directly from the street right‐of‐way for construction and maintenance purposes. •Installation of small cell at this alternative would require trenching within park landscape and hardscape areas. •Small cell at this alternative location would require major disruption of the park areas and would be more visually intrusive. •This alternative was not selected for this project. Small Cell Node CRAN_RLOS_HBNPB_047 –Alternative Site #2 City streetlight No. SLC0005 near the intersection of Channel Drive and East Ocean Front. 7 •Alternative Site #3 is a city streetlight located within the West Jetty View Park. This alternative site is approximately 110 feet northwest of the subject node. •The streetlight is within a landscaped portion of the park near palm trees. •This alternative is not accessible directly from the street right‐of‐way for construction and maintenance purposes. •Installation of small cell at this alternative would require trenching within park landscape and hardscape areas. •Small cell at this alternative location would require major disruption of the park areas and would be more visually intrusive. •This alternative was not selected for this project. Polygon Node# CRAN_RLOS_HBNPB_047 –Alternative Site #3 City streetlight No. SLC0008, located approximately 120 feet southeast of Channel Road and East Ocean Boulevard. 8 Proposed Small Cell Node CRAN_RLOS_HBNPB_047 Conclusion •The proposed small cell node CRAN_RLOS_HBNPB_047 is an integral part of an overall small cell solution to help close AT&T ’s significant service coverage gap in this portion of Newport Beach. •The proposed small cell will provide wireless telecommunications service and faster data rates to the area businesses, residents & visitors. •The proposed small cell is the best available and least intrusive means to help AT&T provide and improve critical wireless services in the surrounding areas, adding low‐power, low‐profile equipment to utility infrastructure in the public right‐of‐way. •The use of a replacement streetlight allows a stealth design for the proposed equipment and antenna. •The proposed installation will enhance wireless communication with the least visual impact to the community.
