This Aerial map represents the project location and land uses within 500 ft. of the building’s center point location.
Project Scope of Work
• 35’-3” Building
• Proposed Project: 3
sectors with 1 antenna
per sector
• Each sector will provide
2 radios for a total of 6
• Each Sector will extend
10’ above the roof deck
and will be enclosed
within a fiberglass
reinforced plastic (FRP)
screen wall.
• Each antenna sector will
be located 10’ from the
edge of the roof
• The equipment
compound will be
located within an
existing equipment
enclosure on the roof
top
• Access to the roof will
be provided via secured
exterior ladder
• The project will be
powered off standard
utility services located
within the equipment
room in the parking
structure

Proposed Dish Wireless Network Plan
No sites are operational in the City of Burbank
• 12 sites are proposed to be constructed within the City of Burbank. No sites are on air at this time.

Summary and Conclusions • The analysis has
been prepared to
reflect a total build
out of the facility
with potential
future expansion
• Conclusion: The
proposed facility
will operate at less
than 1% of
Maximum
Permissible
Exposure at
ground level.
• Signage will be
posted on the roof
to provide warning
to workers on the
roof of RF
Emissions around
the antennas.
• There is no access
to the roof top by
the general public.

Wireless Facts
• 2022 was a record-breaking year for wireless data traffic with growth supporting more than 73.7 trillion MB of traffic or a 38% growth and nearly double the traffic from 2020 to 2021.
• 2023 - Americans used a record 100 trillion MB of wireless data, up 36% over the prior year.
• Today, 90% of Americans own smartphones.
• Growth in usage since 2005 reflects Americans increased reliance on and use of other wireless devices driven by data only connectivity like medical monitoring sensors, smartwatches, hot spots, use of personal and business-
related laptops, traffic cameras and utility meter sensors and transmitters.
• 76% of adults live in wireless only households versus landline connections. (National Health Interview Survey July-December 2023)
• 80% or 240 million 9-1-1 calls are made from mobile
devices.
• Today, more homes are accessing broadband via
wireless connectivity provided by cellular networks to
achieve affordable service.
Wireless Facts
Wireless Regulation: Federal Law
47 U.S.C. 332(c)(7)
Limitations on local authority:
• Action within a reasonable period of time
• No effective prohibition of personal wireless services • Denials must be in writing and supported by
substantial evidence
• No consideration of RF emissions if project meets
FCC standards
• No unreasonable discrimination among providers of
functionally equivalent services
• Expedited appeals to court
• 47 U.S.C. 332(c)(3) No State or local government may
regulate the entry of or the rates charged by any
commercial mobile services provider
• 47 U.S.C. 332(c)(7) generally preserves local authority to decide on placement of “personal wireless services”
facilities, subject to certain substantive and procedural limits
• 47 U.S.C. 1455(a) (Section 6409(a)) requires local
governments to allow eligible changes to “existing”
wireless facilities (Eligible Facilities Requests or EFRs) • 47 U.S.C. 224 allows FCC to regulate rates and conditions for attachments to utility poles unless state choose to do so
• 47 U.S.C. 253 related to “telecommunications services”, and right-of-way management and compensation
Key Provisions of Federal Communications Law
Key FCC Orders
• 2009–Established two wireless application shot clocks (90 and 150 days)
• 2014–Established rules for Eligible Facilities Requests (plus 60 day shot clock)
• 2018–Banned express and de facto moratoria on processing applications
• 2018–Adopted new shorter shot clocks for small wireless facilities (60 and 90 days) and put limits on local fees and aesthetic rules. Order in effect Jan 14, 2019 (shot
clocks/fees), and on April 15, 2019 (aesthetics).
Conclusion:
The Burbank Municipal Code requires building mounted WTFs located within the Neighborhood Commercial Zone to obtain approval of an Administrative Use Permit if residentially adjacent.
The proposed project is in compliance with the following Burbank Municipal Code Requirements:
o Designs must be integrated into the architecture of the building o The facility must be a stealth facility with all antennas and equipment located within screened enclosures to minimize aesthetic impacts o No WTF can exceed 15 ft. above the roof or parapet
o No WTF, individually or in conjunction with other WTFs, can exceed the FCC or other state emission standards or applicable regulations RF Emission Compliance
o Within 30 days of activation, the applicant shall provide a operational EME Report to document compliance with FCC standards
o Every 5 years, the owner shall provide an updated report to confirm continued compliance with FCC standards
o If non-compliant, the Director may require a redesign of the facility or other mitigation measure to return the site to compliance with FCC standards.
