The City of Newport Beach must always be mindful of preserving the attractive aesthetic our City boasts. As part of our review, we wanted to let you know that the City of Newport Beach will not permit an above-grade meter pedestal, meter socket, or AC panel to be installed as part of the Small Cell deployment AT&T, or any other company, is proposing. The City will require a minimization of impacts for aesthetic and public right-of-way access reasons as follows: 1. Section 20.49.050 (General Development and Design Standards), Subsection F(6)(b) (Support Equipment, Installations in a Public Right-of-Way) requires support equipment to be placed or mounted in the least visually obtrusive location practicable. This section states that support equipment in the right-of-way shall be placed underground if required by other provisions of the Municipal Code in flush - to-grade underground vault enclosures, including flush-to-grade vents, or vents that extend no more than twenty-four inches above the finished grade and are screened from public view. 2. Section 13.20.030 (City Policies Regarding Use of the PROW), Subsection B (Limits on Above-Ground Facilities) limits the number and controls the location of above ground facilities used in conjunction with underground facilities consistent with the technical requirements for providing high quality utility service. Companies shall place all newly installed facilities underground or flush mounted vaults, whenever feasible. Companies shall coordinate with all affected property owners F:\Users\PLN\Shared\Staff_Dir\Nova\Project Files\Telecom\Meter Pedestal Denial Letters\Batch 3\Meter Pedestal Denial Letter-NO SLC0416 and SLC0417.docx Page 2 to locate all newly installed AGF to minimize inconvenience and disruption to residents. Please note, issuance of this letter does not guarantee automatic approval of the antennas as proposed. Thank you for your consideration. Please contact me at 949-644-3249 or mnova@newportbeachca.gov with any questions.

More specifically, the project includes: 1) replacement of an existing 32-foot 5-inch high City of Newport Beach concrete streetlight with a new 29-foot 3-inch high monopole, 2) installation of four remote radio units, a raycap disconnect, an omni-directional antenna within a 10-inch diameter equipment shroud at the top of the streetlight up to 34 feet 9 inches in height, and 3) installation of a handhole and fiber box below grade adjacent to the streetlight. The project requires a minor use permit for AT&T small cell telecommunications on Streetlight No. 0416/0417. The development will not result in an increase in luminaire height and the location of the existing utility pole will remain the same. This letter is to certify that this location and/or proposed project has been reviewed by City of Newport Beach Planning Division. A coastal development permit is not necessary for this project because the proposed development is an improvement to a structure other than a single-family residence or public works facility and is not subject to a permit requirement (Section 21.52.035 (Projects Exempt from Coastal Development Permit Requirements), Subsection C2). The proposed project is not anticipated to involve a risk of adverse environmental effect, adversely affect public access, or involve a change in land use contrary to the Coastal Act. Please be advised that only the project described above is exempt from the permit requirements for a Coastal Development Permit. Any change in the project may cause it to lose its exempt status. This certification is based on information provided by the recipient of this letter. If, at a later date, this information is found to be incorrect or UP2019-041 (PA2019-148) August 8, 2019 Page 2 of 2 incomplete, this letter will become invalid, and any development occurring at that time must cease until a coastal development permit is obtained.
