UPDATE REGARDING REGULATION OF COMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES (NB)

At its meeting on August 3, 2017, the City Commission requested staff provide an update on the status of the existing temporary moratorium prohibiting the construction of wireless communications facilities in the public right-of-way (which currently will be repealed at 12:00am on Sunday, October 8, 2017 unless the City Commission takes further action) and an update on staff efforts to develop requirements (in code, policy, procedures and technical manuals) to address the installation of above-ground and underground communications facilities in the public right-of-way, on private property and co-located on other utility infrastructure.

recommendation
