Analysis:
On August 7, 2017, the City Council adopted Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) No. 17-003 to amend
the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) Section 230.69 which revised
the review process in which pole mounted small cell sites are reviewed in accordance with City
Item 7. - I HB -36-

design standards and approved with the issuance of a Wireless Permit. In addition, the City has
finalized its acquisition of the nearly 11,000 streetlights from Southern California Edison, upon
which carriers will mount their small cell sites.
The Wireless Permit streamlined the process in which small cell sites are deployed on non-City-
owned utility poles and City-owned streetlight poles. The Wireless Permit requires that any wireless
carrier interested in mounting a small cell facility on a City-owned streetlight must enter into a
separate Small Cell License Agreement ("Agreement") with the City. The attached Agreement will
serve as a template by which wireless carriers and the City will execute an agreement, as approved
by the City Attorney's Office. The Agreement will address terms such as: rent, duration of contract,
insurance requirements, no interference with public safety, indemnification, and default.
The current approval process for Agreements requires City Council approval. However, due to the
volume of available street lights, multiple carriers have already shown interest in deploying small
cell equipment on the City-owned street lights. In addition, staff has been receiving inquiries from
wireless carriers about Agreement requirements. The standardization of the Agreement by the City
Council will allow for a non-partial process. The Agreements will take effect on the date the small
cell facility is mounted on the streetlight pole.
The draft Agreement was developed and circulated to the following wireless carriers and related
companies for input: AT&T, Mobilitie, Verizon, and Crown Castle. The wireless carriers submitted
feedback regarding the initial term of the Agreement, the number of extensions, termination, and
the ability to assign the agreement. Staff in conjunction with the City Attorney's Office revised the
template to accommodate the industry's needs while protecting the City.
Staff engaged the services of Colliers International to conduct a microcell study for Huntington
Beach. The appraiser was selected based on their expertise in conducting market studies for the
wireless industry and public agencies. The study revealed a range of rental rates from
$1,224/pole/year to $3,996/pole/year in the Los Angles-Orange County Metropolitan Area. In order
to remain competitive with other public agencies and to promote deployment for the benefit of
residents and businesses, staff is recommending tiered rental rates to accomplish these goals. The
recommended rental rates for small cell attachments on City-owned street lights are as follows:
Number of Approved Price/PoleNr
Attachments
1-9 $2,700
10-19 $2,450
20 or more $2,200
Environmental Status: Not applicable
Strategic Plan Goal: Strengthen economic and financial sustainability

knowledge thereof, the LICENSOR will attempt promptly to inform LICENSEE

Small Cell, or Equipment (not caused by Licensee) that cannot be repaired within
forty-five (45) days, or, if the Municipal Facilities, Poles, Small Cell, or
Equipment are damaged by fire or other casualty so that such damage disrupts
LICENSEE'S operations for more than forty-five (45) days, then LICENSEE
may, at any time following such fire or other casualty, provided LICENSOR has
not completed the restoration at Municipal Facilities or Poles to permit
LICENSEE to resume its operations, terminate the Site Permit upon fifteen (15)
days prior written notice to LICENSOR. Any such notice of termination shall
cause the Site Permit to expire and the parties shall make an appropriate
adjustment, as of such termination date, with respect to payments due pursuant to
the Site Permit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rent shall abate during the
period of repair following such fire or other casualty in proportion to the degree to
which LICENSEE'S operations are impaired. In no event shall LICENSOR be
responsible for damages above the value of to rent for the time period operations

17-5952/169299/mv 8
or private, caused by LICENSEE, its agents, employees or contractors in their
actions relating to attachment, operation, repair or maintenance of Small Cell
and/or Equipment. If LICENSEE does not remove, repair or replace such damage
to its Small Cell and/or Equipment or to ROW, City Pole of Facilities or other
property, the LICENSOR shall have the option, upon 30 days' prior written notice
to LICENSEE, to perform or cause to be performed such removal, repair, or
replacement on behalf of LICENSEE and shall charge LICENSEE for the actual
costs incurred by the LICENSOR. If such damage causes a public health or
safety emergency, as reasonably determined by the LICENSOR, the LICENSOR
may immediately perform reasonable and necessary repair or removal work on
behalf of LICENSEE and will notify LICENSEE as soon as practicable; provided,
such repair work only involves reattachment of LICENSEE's Small Cell and/or
Equipment to a Pole or repair of the Pole itself, and shall not include any technical
work on LICENSEE's Equipment. Upon the receipt of a demand for payment by
the LICENSOR, LICENSEE shall within 30 days of such receipt reimburse the
LICENSOR for such costs. The terms of this provision shall survive the
expiration, completion or earlier termination of this Agreement.
If LICENSEE installs and pays for a replacement Pole as provided herein,
LICENSEE shall provide and deliver to LICENSOR one (1) additional
replacement Pole (excluding mast arm) that may be stored on City Property at no
additional cost to Licensee, so that a replacement is immediately available to
LICENSOR in case an existing replacement Pole is damaged or destroyed and/or
no longer suitable to support LICENSEE'S Small Cell or Equipment or City
lighting equipment. If an existing standard Pole has been replaced with a
replacement Pole to accommodate LICENSEE's Small Cell or Equipment, and
such replacement Pole is damaged or destroyed and is no longer suitable to
support LICENSEE'S Small Cell or Equipment, or City lighting equipment,
LICENSEE shall be responsible for the cost in replacing such replacement Pole.
6.4 Removal of Equipment. Within 90 days after the expiration or earlier
termination of this Agreement, and/or a Site Permit, LICENSEE shall at its sole
cost, safely and carefully remove the Small Cell and/or Equipment from all
Municipal Facilities and ROW. Such obligation of LICENSEE shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. If LICENSEE fails to
complete this removal work pursuant to this Section, then the LICENSOR, upon
written notice to LICENSEE, shall have the right at the LICENSOR's sole
election, but not the obligation, to perform this removal work and charge
LICENSEE for the actual costs and expenses, including, without limitation,
reasonable administrative costs. LICENSEE shall pay to the LICENSOR actual
costs and expenses incurred by the LICENSOR in performing any removal work
