A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST
COVINA, CALIFORNIA, INITIATING CODE AMENDMENT NO. 16-
03 RELATED TO WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATION
FACILITIES IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY
WHEREAS, on February 16, 2016, the City Council requested that a code
amendment be initiated regarding considering standards for wireless facilities in the public
right-of-way in the West Covina Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, the studies and investigations made by the City Council and in its behalf
reveal the following facts:
Currently, wireless telecommunication facilities located in the public right-of-way
are reviewed on a case by case basis. The Zoning section of the Municipal Code
addresses wireless telecommunication facilities on private property and
government property but does not address facilities in the public right-of-way.
2. It is appropriate to consider development standards for wireless telecommunication
facilities in the public right-of-way for aesthetic and safety reasons.
3. The proposed action is considered to be exempt from the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Section 15061 (b)(3) of
the CEQA Guidelines, in that the proposed action consists of a code amendment,
which does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the
environment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the City Council of the City of West
Covina, in conformance with Section 26-153(a)(2) of the West Covina Municipal Code, does
hereby initiate an application for a Code Amendment related to the wireless
teleCOMMUnication facilities section of the Municipal Code.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED on this 16 th day of February, 2016.
