For any facility located within a residential zone, such equipment noise shall at no time be audible at the property line of any residentially improved or residential zoned property.

(4)

Any equipment, including, but not limited to, air conditioning units, that may emit noise that would be audible from beyond three (3) feet from the facility in the case of a facility located in the right-of-way, or in the case of other facilities the facility's property line, shall be enclosed or equipped with noise attenuation devices to the extent necessary to ensure compliance with applicable noise limitations under the Jurupa Valley Municipal Code.

L.

Security. Each wireless communication facility and wireless communication collocation facility shall be designed to be resistant to, and minimize opportunities for, unauthorized access, climbing, vandalism, graffiti and other conditions that would result in hazardous situations, visual blight, or attractive nuisances. The reviewing authority may require the provision of warning signs, fencing, anti-climbing devices, or other techniques to prevent unauthorized access and vandalism when, because of their location or accessibility, a facility has the potential to become an attractive nuisance.

M.

Modification. At the time of modification of a wireless communication facility, existing equipment shall, to the extent feasible, be replaced with equipment that reduces visual, noise, and other impacts, including, but not limited to, undergrounding the equipment and replacing larger, more visually intrusive facilities with smaller, less visually intrusive facilities.

N.

Location. A new wireless communication facility shall not be located within one thousand five hundred (1,500) feet of an existing wireless communication facility as measured between the perimeters of each leased area.

O.

Parking interference. In no event shall the installation of facilities replace or interfere with parking spaces in such a way as to reduce the total number of parking spaces below the number that is required.

P.

Roof-mounted facilities. Roof-mounted facilities shall be designed and constructed to be fully concealed or screened in a manner compatible with the existing architecture of the building the facility is mounted to in color, texture, and type of material. Screening shall not increase the bulk of the structure nor alter the character of the structure. All antenna panels and accessory wireless equipment components mounted on the exterior of a structure shall be painted or otherwise coated to match the predominant color of the mounting structure. When required by the Director, antenna panels shall be located and arranged on the structure so as to replicate the installation and appearance of the equipment already mounted to the structure. Wireless communications facility installations located above the surface grade in the public right-of-way including, but not limited to, those on certain streetlights or traffic signal standards, shall consist of components that are compatible in scale and proportion to the streetlights and traffic signals they are mounted on. Equipment shall be painted or otherwise coated to be visually compatible with lighting and signal equipment. Underground vaults shall employ flush-to-grade access portals and vents. If a new wireless communication facility is proposed on the roof of a building, in no circumstance may it exceed the maximum height limit of the zone.

Q.

Facilities mounted to a telecommunications tower. Facilities mounted to a telecommunications tower shall be located in close proximity to existing aboveground utilities, such as electrical towers or utility poles (which are not scheduled for removal or undergrounding for at least eighteen (18) months after the date of application), light poles, trees of comparable heights, and in areas where they will not detract from the appearance of the city.

(1)

Facilities mounted to a telecommunications tower, including, but not limited to, the attached antennas, shall be designed to be the minimum functional height and width required to adequately support the proposed facility and meet FCC requirements. The applicant shall provide documentation satisfactory to the Director establishing compliance with this paragraph, In any event, facilities mounted to a telecommunications tower shall not exceed the applicable height limit for structures in the applicable zoning district.

(2)

Aside from the antenna itself, no additional equipment may be visible. All cables, including, but not limited to, electrical and utility cables, shall be run within the interior of the telecommunications tower and shall be camouflaged or hidden to the fullest extent feasible without jeopardizing the physical integrity of the tower.

(3)

Monopole installations shall be situated so as to utilize existing natural or man-made features including topography, vegetation, buildings, or other structures to provide the greatest amount of visual screening. Camouflage design techniques employed shall result in an installation that either will blend in with the predominant visual backdrop or will disguise the facility so it appears to be a decorative or attractive architectural feature. In those circumstances where an installation is within or easily visible from a zone that is not a preferred location, the Director may require additional measures designed to camouflage a wireless communications facility, including, but not limited to, enclosing the antenna and accessory equipment entirely within a vertical screening structure (suitable architectural feature such as a clock tower, bell tower, icon sign, lighthouse, windmill, farm style farm tank, etc.) through the permit process. All facility components, including the antennas, shall be mounted inside said structure.

(4)

All antenna components and accessory wireless equipment shall be treated with exterior coatings of a color and texture to match the predominant visual background or existing architectural elements so as to visually blend in with the surrounding development. Subdued colors and non-reflective materials that blend with surrounding materials and colors shall be used.

(5)

Monopoles shall be no greater in diameter or other cross-sectional dimensions than is necessary for the proper functioning of the facility.

(6)

If a faux tree is proposed for the monopole installation, it shall be of a type of tree compatible with those existing in the immediate areas of the installation. If no trees exist within the immediate areas, a landscaped area will be required that integrates the faux tree with added species of a similar height and type. Additional camouflage of the faux tree may be required depending on the type and design of faux tree proposed. A WCF disguised as a faux tree must resemble a real tree and have foliage that matches the shape and density of foliage found with a real tree.

(7)

Although generally not appropriate, a monorock and or monoshrub/monotree/monopine installation will be considered properly screened provided that it is located in a setting that is compatible with the proposed screening method. For a monoshrub/monotree/monopine, other vegetation comparable to that replicated in the proposed screen shall be prevalent in the immediate vicinity of the wireless communications facility site and the addition of new comparable living vegetation may be necessary to enhance the monoshrub/monotree/monopine screen. For a monorock, the proposed screen shall match in scale and color other rock outcroppings in the general vicinity of the proposed site. A monorock screen may not be considered appropriate in areas that do not have natural rock outcroppings.

(8)

Co-locations shall use screening methods similar to those used on the existing wireless communications facilities, or such other additional screening methods as may be required by the Director.

R.

Accessory equipment. All accessory equipment associated with the operation of any wireless communication facility shall be fully screened or camouflaged, and located in a manner to minimize their visibility to the greatest extent possible utilizing the following methods for the type of installation:

(1)

Accessory equipment for roof-mounted facilities shall be installed inside the building to which it is mounted or underground, if feasible. If not feasible, such accessory equipment may be located on the roof of the building that the facility is mounted on, provided that both the equipment and screening materials are painted the color of the building, roof, or surroundings. All screening materials for roof-mounted facilities shall be of a quality and design that is architecturally integrated with the design of the building or structure.

(2)

Accessory equipment for facilities mounted to a telecommunications tower shall be visually screened by locating the equipment either within a nearby building, in an underground vault (with the exception of required electrical panels) or in another type of enclosed structure, which shall comply with the development and design standards of the zoning district in which the accessory equipment is located. Such enclosed structure shall be architecturally treated and adequately screened from view by landscape plantings and/or decorative walls so that the resulting screening will be visually integrated with the architecture and landscaping of the surroundings. When placing such wireless communications facilities in an underground vault is not reasonably feasible, such wireless communications facilities shall comply with Public Utilities Commission General Order 95/128 and shall be visually screened through the use of walls, landscaping or walls combined with landscaping. All wall and landscaping materials shall be selected so that the resulting screening will be visually integrated with the architecture and landscape architecture of the surroundings. Wrought iron fence may be considered for security purposes.

(3)

No accessory wireless equipment associated with the operation of any wireless communications facilities shall impair pedestrian use of sidewalks or other pedestrian pathways, nor inhibit equestrian activities on designated public or private trail systems. Accessory wireless equipment shall be screened from the sidewalk by landscaping, undergrounding or other means.

(4)

All accessory wireless equipment shall be placed and mounted in the least visually obtrusive feasible location. All accessory wireless equipment shall be painted or textured using colors to match or blend with the primary background. All equipment cabinets visible to the public shall be treated with graffiti-resistant coating.

(5)

Height. Wireless communications facilities shall be limited to a maximum height of thirty-six (36) feet. The height of a non-exempt parabolic antenna shall be measured from its most vertical position and extent. The maximum height permitted in any right-of-way or easement shall be thirty-six (36) feet or the height of the closest existing utility pole, whichever is lower. Wireless communications facilities may be constructed in an existing legal, conforming or nonconforming structure at any height, if the installation is located entirely within the structure's physical limits or "envelope" and the structure's exterior appears to remain unchanged. Wireless communications facilities may be installed on the outside of an existing legal, conforming or nonconforming structure at any height, if such installation adds no more than ten (10) inches of horizontal width to a structure's vertical surface, or if the facilities are located below and within the upper limits of an existing roof parapet. If a new wireless communication facility is proposed on the roof of a building, in no circumstance may it exceed the maximum height limit of the zone.

T.

Setbacks.

(1)

Concealed wireless facilities shall meet the setback requirements of the zone classification in which they are located.

(2)

Disguised wireless facilities in non-residential zone classifications shall meet the setback requirements of the zone classification in which they are located and shall be setback from habitable dwellings a distance equal to one hundred and twenty-five (125) percent of the facility height.

(3)

Disguised wireless facilities adjacent to residential zone classifications, or a zone that permits single-family dwellings, shall meet the setback requirements of the zone classification in which they are located and shall be setback from habitable dwellings a distance equal to two hundred (200) percent of the facility height or shall be setback from residential property lines a distance equal to one hundred (100) percent of the facility height, whichever is greater.

The applicant shall have the burden of proving that denial of the facility as proposed would violate federal law, state law, or both, or that the provisions of this chapter, as applied to applicant, would deprive applicant of its rights under federal law, state law, or both, using the evidentiary standards required by that law at issue. The city shall have the right to hire an independent consultant, at the applicant's expense, to evaluate the issues raised by the exception request and shall have the right to submit rebuttal evidence to refute the applicant's claim.

(Ord. No. 2025-21, § 3(Exh. A), 10-2-2025)

A.

Purpose. Section 6409(a) of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012, Pub. L. 112-96, codified in 47 U.S.C. Section 1455(a), generally requires that state and local governments "may not deny, and shall approve" requests to collocate, remove or replace transmission equipment at an existing tower or base station. Federal Communication Commission regulations interpret this statute and create procedural rules for local review, which generally preempt certain subjective land-use regulations, limit permit application content requirements and provide the applicant with a potential "deemed granted" remedy when the state or local government fails to approve or deny the request within sixty (60) days after submittal (accounting for any tolling periods). Moreover, whereas Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Pub. L. 104-104, codified in 47 U.S.C.

Section 332, applies to only "personal wireless service facilities" (e.g., cellular telephone towers and equipment), Section 6409(a) applies to all "wireless" facilities licensed or authorized by the FCC (e.g., cellular, wi-fi, satellite antenna, microwave backhaul, etc.).

The overlap between wireless deployments covered under Section 6409(a) and other wireless deployments, combined with the different substantive and procedural rules applicable to such deployments, creates a potential for confusion that harms the public interest in both efficient wireless facilities deployment and carefully planned community development in accordance with local values. A separate building permit application and review process specifically designed for compliance with Section 6409(a) contained in a section devoted to Section 6409(a) will mitigate such potential confusion, streamline local review and preserve the city's land-use authority to the maximum extent possible.

B.

Applicability. This section applies to all collocations or modifications to an existing wireless tower or base station submitted with a written request for approval pursuant to Section 6409(a).

C.

Approval required. Any request to collocate, replace or remove transmission equipment at an existing wireless tower or base station submitted with a written request for a Section 6409(a) approval shall be subject to the Director's approval, conditional approval or denial without prejudice pursuant to the standards and procedures contained in this chapter.

D.

Other regulatory approvals. No collocation or modification approved under any Section 6409(a) approval may occur unless the applicant also obtains all other applicable permits or regulatory approvals from the city and state or federal agencies. Furthermore, any Section 6409(a) approval granted under this chapter shall remain subject to any and all lawful conditions or requirements associated with such other permits or regulatory approvals from the city and state or federal agencies.

E.

Application requirement. The city shall not approve any wireless facility subject to this chapter except upon a duly filed application for an "Eligible Facility Application" consistent with this section and any other written rules the city or the Director may establish from time to time. An application must include the information required by Section 9.275.050 and the following additional information:

(1)

A title report prepared within the thirty (30) days prior to the application filing date in order for the city to verify the property owners identity and property information including easements and boundaries. If the applicant does not own the subject property, the application must include a written authorization signed by the property owner that empowers the applicant to file the application and perform all wireless facility construction, installation, operation and maintenance to the extent described in the application.

(2)

A written statement that explains in plain factual detail whether and why Section 6409(a) and the related FCC regulations at 47 C.F.R. Section 1.40001 et seq., require approval for the specific project. A complete written narrative analysis shall state the applicable standard and all the facts that allow the city to conclude the standard has been met. Bare conclusions not factually supported do not constitute a complete written analysis. As part of this written analysis the applicant must also include: (a) whether and why the support structure qualifies as an existing tower or existing base station; and (b) whether and why the proposed collocation or modification does not cause a substantial change in height, width, excavation, equipment cabinets, concealment or permit compliance.

F.

Procedures for a duly filed application. The city shall not review any application unless duly filed in accordance with this section, as follows:

(1)

Pre-submittal conference. Before application submittal, applicants must schedule and attend a pre-application meeting with the Planning Division for all proposed modifications submitted for approval pursuant to Section 6409(a). The pre-submittal conference is intended to streamline the review process through informal discussion that includes, without limitation, the appropriate project classification, including whether the project qualifies for Section 6409(a); any latent issues in connection with the existing tower or base station; potential concealment issues (if applicable); coordination with other city departments responsible for application review; and application completeness issues. To mitigate unnecessary delays due to application incompleteness, applicants are encouraged (but not required) to bring any draft applications or other materials so that city staff may provide informal feedback about whether such applications or other materials may be incomplete or unacceptable. The Director may, in his or her discretion, grant a written exemption to the submittal appointment under Section 9.275.120(F)(2) or for a specific requirement for a complete application to any applicant who: (a) schedules, attends and fully participates in any pre-submittal conference; and (b) shows to the Director's satisfaction that such specific requirement duplicates information already provided in other materials to be submitted or is otherwise unnecessary to the city's review under facts and circumstances in that particular case. Any written exemption will be limited to the project discussed at the pre-submittal conference and will not be extended to any other project.

(2)

Submittal appointment. All applications must be filed with the City at a pre-scheduled appointment. Applicants may generally submit one (1) application per appointment, but may schedule successive appointments for multiple applications whenever feasible and not prejudicial to other applicants. Any application received without an appointment, whether delivered in-person or through any other means, will not be considered duly filed unless the applicant received a written exemption from the Director at a pre-submittal conference.

(3)

Appointment scheduling procedures. For any event in the submittal process that requires an appointment, applicants must submit a written request to the Director. The shall endeavor to provide applicants with an appointment as soon as reasonably feasible and within five (5) business days after a written request is received.

(4)

Applications deemed withdrawn. To promote efficient review and timely decisions, an application will be automatically deemed withdrawn by the applicant when the applicant fails to tender a substantive response to the city within ninety (90) calendar days after the city deems the application incomplete in a written notice to the applicant. The Director may, in the Director's discretion, grant a written extension for up to an additional thirty (30) calendar days when the applicant submits, a written request prior to the ninetieth (90 ^th ) day that shows good cause to grant the extension. Delays due to circumstances outside the applicant's reasonable control will be considered good cause to grant the extension.

(5)

Departmental forms, rules and other regulations. The City Council authorizes the Director to develop and publish permit application forms, checklists, informational handouts and other related materials that the Director finds necessary, appropriate or useful for processing requests for Section 6409(a) approvals. Without further authorization from the City Council, the Director may, from time to time, update and alter any such permit application forms, checklists, informational handouts and other related materials as the Director deems necessary, appropriate or useful to respond to regulatory, technological or other changes related to this chapter. The City Council authorizes the Director to establish other reasonable rules and regulations, which may include, without limitation, regular hours for appointments with applicants, as the Director deems necessary or appropriate to organize, document and manage the application intake process.

G.

Administrative review—Decision notices. The Director shall administratively review an application for a Section 6409(a) approval and act on such an application without prior notice or a public hearing. Within five (5) working days after the Director conditionally approves or denies an application submitted for Section 6409(a) approval or before the FCC timeframe for review expires (whichever occurs first), the Director shall send a written notice to the applicant. In the event that the Director determines that an application for an eligible facilities request submitted for approval pursuant to Section 6409(a) does not qualify for approval, the Director will send written notice to the applicant that includes the reasons to support the review authority's decision and states that the application will be automatically denied without prejudice on the 60th day after the date the application was filed unless the applicant withdraws the application.

H.

Required findings for 6409(a) approval. The Director may approve or conditionally approve an application submitted for Section 6409(a) approval when the Director finds that the proposed project:

(1)

Involves collocation, removal or replacement of transmission equipment on an existing wireless tower or base station; and

(2)

Does not substantially change the physical dimensions of the existing wireless tower or base station.

I.

Criteria for denial without prejudice. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this chapter, and consistent with all applicable federal laws and regulations, the Director may deny without prejudice an application for an eligible facilities request submitted for approval pursuant to Section 6409(a) when it finds that the proposed project:

(1)

Does not satisfy the criteria for approval;

(2)

Violates any legally enforceable standard or permit condition reasonably related to public health and safety then in effect; or

(3)

Involves the replacement of the entire support structure.

J.

Conditional 6409(a) approvals. Subject to any applicable limitations in federal or state law, nothing in this chapter is intended to limit the city's authority to conditionally approve an application for a Section 6409(a) approval to protect and promote the public health, safety and welfare.

K.

Appeals. Notwithstanding any provision of the Jurupa Valley Municipal Code to the contrary an applicant may appeal a decision by the Director to deny without prejudice a Section 6409(a) application. The appeal must be filed within ten (10) days from the Community Development Director's decision. The appeal must state in plain terms the grounds for reversal and the facts that support those grounds. The Planning Commission shall serve as the appellate authority for all appeals of all actions of the Director taken pursuant to this section. The city shall provide notice for an administrative hearing by the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission shall limit its review to whether the project should be approved or denied in accordance with the provisions in subsections H and J of this section. The decision of the Planning Commission shall be final and not subject to any further administrative appeals.

L.

Standard conditions of approval. In addition to all other conditions adopted by the Director, all Section 6409(a) approvals, whether approved by the Director or deemed approved by the operation of law, shall be automatically subject to the following conditions in this section; provided, however, that the Director shall have discretion to modify or amend these conditions on a case-by-case basis as may be necessary or appropriate under the circumstances:

(1)

Approved plans. Before the permittee submits any application for a building permit or other permits required by the Jurupa Valley Municipal Code, the permittee must incorporate the wireless communication facility permit granted under this section, all conditions associated with the wireless communication facility permit and the approved plans and any photo simulations (the "approved plans") into the project plans. The permittee must construct, install and operate the wireless communication facility in strict compliance with the approved plans. The permittee shall submit an as-built drawing within ninety (90) days after installation of the facility.

(2)

Permit term. The city's grant or grant by operation of raw of a Section 6409(a) approval constitutes a federally-mandated modification to the underlying permit or other prior regulatory authorization for the subject tower or base station. The city's grant or grant by operation of law of a Section 6409(a) approval will not extend the permit term, if any, for any conditional use permit, or other underlying prior regulatory authorization. Accordingly, the term for a Section 6409(a) approval shall be coterminous with the underlying permit or other prior regulatory authorization for the subject tower or base station.

(3)

Accelerated permit terms due to invalidation. In the event that any court of competent jurisdiction invalidates any portion of Section 6409(a) or any FCC rule that interprets Section 6409(a) such that federal law would not mandate approval for any Section 6409(a) approval, such 6409(a) approvals shall automatically expire one (1) year from the effective date of the judicial order, unless the decision would not authorize accelerated termination of previously approved Section 6409(a) approvals or the Director grants an extension upon written request from the permittee that shows good cause for the extension, which includes, without limitation, extreme financial hardship. Notwithstanding anything in the previous sentence to the contrary, the Director may not grant a permanent exemption or indefinite extension. A permittee shall not be required to remove its improvements approved under the invalidated Section 6409(a) approval when it has submitted an application for a conditional use permit for those improvements before the one-year period ends.

(4)

No waiver of standing. The city's grant or grant by operation of law of a Section 6409(a) approval does not waive, and shall not be construed to waive, any standing by the city to challenge Section 6409(a), any FCC rules that interpret Section 6409(a) or any Section 6409(a) approval.

(5)

Build-out period. The Section 6409(a) approval will automatically expire one (1) year from the approval date unless the permittee obtains all other permits and approvals required to install, construct and operate the approved wireless facility, which includes without limitation any permits or approvals required by the any federal, state or local public agencies with jurisdiction over the subject property, the wireless facility or its use. The Director may grant one (1) written extension to a date certain when the permittee shows good cause to extend the limitations period in a written request for an extension submitted at least thirty (30) days prior to the automatic expiration date in this condition.

(6)

Maintenance obligations—Vandalism. The permittee shall keep the site, which includes, without limitation, any and all improvements, equipment, structures, access routes, fences and landscape features, in a neat, clean and safe condition in accordance with the approved plans and all conditions in this Section 6409(a) approval. The permittee shall keep the site area free from all litter and debris at all times. The permittee, at no cost to the city, shall remove and remediate any graffiti or other vandalism at the site within twenty-four (24) hours after the permittee receives notice or otherwise becomes aware that such graffiti or other vandalism occurred.

(7)

Compliance with laws. The permittee shall maintain compliance at all times with all federal, state and local statutes, regulations, orders or other rules that carry the force of law ("laws'') applicable to the permittee, the subject property, the wireless facility or any use or activities in connection with the use authorized in this Section 6409(a) approval. The permittee expressly acknowledges and agrees that this obligation is intended to be broadly construed and that no other specific requirements in these conditions are intended to reduce, relieve or otherwise lessen the permittee's obligations to maintain compliance with all laws.

(8)

Adverse impacts on other properties. The permittee shall use all reasonable efforts to avoid any and all undue or unnecessary adverse impacts on nearby properties that may arise from the permittee's construction, installation, operation, modification, maintenance, repair, removal or other activities at the site. The permittee shall not perform or cause others to perform any construction, installation, operation, modification, maintenance, repair, removal or other work that involves heavy equipment or machines on any day and at any time prohibited under the Jurupa Valley Municipal Code. The restricted work hours in this condition will not prohibit any work required to prevent an actual, immediate harm to property or persons, or any work during an emergency declared by the city. The Director may issue a stop work order for any work that violates this condition.

(9)

Noise complaints. The permittee shall conduct all activities on the site in compliance with the noise standards in the Jurupa Valley Municipal Code. In the event that any person files a noise complaint and the city verifies that such complaint ls valid, the permittee must remedy the violation within ten (10) days after notice from the city, which may include a demonstration that the permittee has amended its operational guidelines in situations where the violation arises from the permittee's personnel rather than the permittee's equipment.

(10)

Inspections—Emergencies. The permittee expressly acknowledges and agrees that the city or its designee may enter onto the site and inspect the improvements and equipment upon reasonable prior notice to the permittee; provided, however, that the city or its designee may, but will not be obligated to, enter onto the site area without prior notice to support, repair, disable or remove any improvements or equipment in emergencies or when such improvements or equipment threatens actual, imminent harm to property or persons. The permittee will be permitted to supervise the city or its designee while such inspection or emergency access occurs.

(11)

Contact information. The permittee shall furnish the city with accurate and up-to-date contact information for a person responsible for the wireless facility, which includes, without limitation, such person's full name, title, direct telephone number, facsimile number, mailing address and email address. The permittee shall keep such contact information up-to-date at all times.

(12)

Indemnification. The permittee and, if applicable, the property owner upon which the wireless facility is installed shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the city, its agents, officers, officials, employees and volunteers from any and all: (a) damages, liabilities, injuries, losses, costs and expenses and from any and all claims, demands, law suits, writs and other actions or proceedings ("claims") brought against the city or its agents, officers, officials, employees or volunteers to challenge, attack, seek to modify, set aside, void or annul the city's approval of this Section 6409(a) approval; and (b) other claims any kind or form, whether for personal injury, death or property damage, that arise from or in connection with the permittee's or its agents', directors', officers', employees', contractors', subcontractors', licensees', or customers' acts or omissions in connection with this Section 6409(a) approval or the wireless facility. In the event the city becomes aware any claims, the city will use best efforts to promptly notify the permittee and the private property owner and shall reasonably cooperate in the defense. The permittee expressly acknowledges and agrees that the city shall have the right to approve, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, the legal counsel providing the city's defense, and the property owner or permittee (as applicable) shall promptly reimburse the city for any costs and expenses directly and necessarily incurred by the city in the course of the defense. The permittee expressly acknowledges and agrees that the permittee's indemnification obligations under this condition are a material consideration that motivates the city to approve this Section 6409(a) approval, and that such indemnification obligations will survive the expiration or revocation of this Section 6409(a) approval.

(13)

Wireless communication facilities performance bond. Before the city issues any construction permit in connection with the wireless facility, the permittee shall post a performance bond from a surety and in a form acceptable to the Director in an amount equal to or greater than a written estimate from a qualified contractor with experience in wireless facilities removal. The written estimate must include the cost to remove all equipment and other improvements, which includes, without limitation, all antennas, radios, batteries, generators, utilities, cabinets, mounts, brackets, hardware, cables, wires, conduits, structures, shelters, towers, poles, footings and foundations, landscaping and irrigation, whether above ground or below ground, constructed or installed in connection with the wireless facility. In establishing or adjusting the bond amount required under this condition, and in accordance with California Government Code Section 65964(a), the Director shall take into consideration information provided by the permittee regarding the cost to remove the wireless facility.

(14)

Record retention. The permittee must maintain complete and accurate copies of all permits and other regulatory approvals issued in connection with the wireless facility, which includes, without limitation, this approval, the approved plans and photo simulations incorporated into this approval, all conditions associated with this approval and any ministerial permits or approvals issued in connection with this approval. In the event that the permittee does not maintain such records as required in this condition, any ambiguities or uncertainties that would be resolved through an inspection of the missing records will be construed against the permittee.

(15)

Compliance obligations. An applicant or permittee will not be relieved of its obligation to comply with every applicable provision in the Jurupa Valley Municipal Code, any permit, any permit condition or any applicable law or regulation by reason of any failure by the city to timely notice, prompt or enforce compliance by the applicant or permittee.
