Appendix C – Rules & Regulations
Explanation of Applicable Rules and Regulations
The FCC has set forth guidelines in OET Bulletin 65 for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields. Specific regulations regarding this topic are listed in Part 1, Subpart I, of Title 47 in the Code of Federal Regulations. Currently, there are two different levels of MPE - General Public MPE and Occupational MPE. An individual classified as Occupational can be defined as an individual who has received appropriate RF training and meets the conditions outlined below. General Public is defined as anyone who does not meet the conditions of being Occupational. FCC and OSHA Rules and Regulations define compliance in terms of total exposure to total RF energy, regardless of location of or proximity to the sources of energy.
It is the responsibility of all licensees to ensure these guidelines are maintained at all times. It is the ongoing responsibility of all licensees composing the site to maintain ongoing compliance with the FCC Rules and Regulations. Individual licensees that contribute less than 5% MPE to any total area out of compliance are not responsible for corrective actions.
OSHA has adopted and enforces the FCC’s exposure guidelines. A building owner or site manager can use this report as part of an overall RF Health and Safety Policy. It is important for building owners/site managers to identify areas in excess of the General Population MPE and ensure that only persons qualified as Occupational are granted access to those areas.
Occupational Environment Explained
The FCC definition of Occupational exposure limits apply to persons who:
• are exposed to RF energy as a consequence of their employment; • have been made aware of the possibility of exposure; and • can exercise control over their exposure.
OSHA guidelines go further to state that persons must complete RF Safety Awareness training and must be trained in the use of appropriate personal protective equipment.
In order to consider this site an Occupational Environment, the site must be controlled to prevent access by any individuals classified as the General Public. Compliance is also maintained when any non-occupational individuals (the General Public) are prevented from accessing areas indicated as Red or Yellow in the attached RF exposure diagram. In addition, a person must be aware of the RF environment into which they are entering. This can be accomplished by an RF Safety Awareness class, and by appropriate written documentation such as this Site Compliance Report.
All T-Mobile employees who require access to this site must complete RF Safety Awareness training and must be trained in the use of appropriate personal protective equipment.

Appendix D – General Safety Recommendations
The following are general recommendations appropriate for any site with accessible areas in excess of 100% General Public MPE. These recommendations are not specific to this site. These are safety recommendations appropriate for typical site management, building management, and other tenant operations.
1. All individuals needing access to the main site (or the area indicated to be in excess of General Public MPE) should wear a personal protective monitor (PPM), successfully complete proper RF Safety Awareness training, and have and be trained in the use of appropriate personal protective equipment.
2. All individuals needing access to the main site should be instructed to read and obey all posted placards and signs.
3. The site should be routinely inspected and this or similar report updated with the addition of any antennas or upon any changes to the RF environment including:
• adding new antennas that may have been located on the site • removing of any existing antennas
• changes in the radiating power or number of RF emitters
4. Post the appropriate NOTICE, CAUTION, or WARNING sign at the main site access point(s) and other locations as required. Note: Please refer to RF Exposure Diagrams in Section 3.1 to inform everyone who has access to this site that beyond posted signs there may be levels in excess of the limits prescribed by the FCC. In addition to RF Advisory Signage, a RF Guideline Signage is recommended to be posted at the main site access point(s). The signs below are examples of signs meeting FCC guidelines.
5. Ensure that the site door remains locked (or appropriately controlled) to deny access to the general public if deemed as policy by the building/site owner.
6. For a General Public environment the five color levels identified in this analysis can be interpreted in the following manner:
475 Sentry Parkway W • Suite 200 • Blue Bell, PA 19422
703.276.1100 • [email protected]
• Gray represents areas predicted to be at 5% or less of the General Public MPE limits. The General Public can access these areas with no restrictions. • Green represents areas predicted to be between 5% and 100% of the General Public MPE limits. The General Public can access these areas with no restrictions.
• Blue represents areas predicted to be between 100% and 500% of the General Public MPE limits. The General Public should be restricted from accessing these areas.
• Yellow represents areas predicted to be between 500% and 5000% of the General Public MPE limits. The General Public should be restricted from accessing these areas.
• Red represents areas predicted to be greater than 5000% of the General Public MPE limits. The General Public should be restricted from accessing these areas.
7. For an Occupational environment the five color levels identified in this analysis can be interpreted in the following manner:
• Gray represents areas predicted to be at 1% or less of the Occupational MPE limits. Workers can access these areas with no restrictions. • Green represents areas predicted to be between 1% and 20% of the Occupational MPE limits. Workers can access these areas with no restrictions. • Blue represents areas predicted to be between 20% and 100% of the Occupational MPE limits. Workers can access these areas assuming they have basic understanding of EME awareness and RF safety procedures and understand how to limit their exposure.
• Yellow represents areas predicted to be between 100% and 1000% of the Occupational MPE limits. Workers can access these areas assuming they have basic understanding of EME awareness and RF safety procedures and understand how to limit their exposure. Transmitter power reduction and/or time-averaging may be required.
• Red represents areas predicted to be greater than 1000% of the Occupational MPE limits. These areas are not safe for workers to be in for prolonged periods of time. Special procedures must be adhered to, such as lockout/tagout or transmitter power reduction, to minimize worker exposure to EME.
8. Use of a Personal Protective Monitor (PPM): When working around antennas, Sitesafe strongly recommends the use of a PPM. Wearing a PPM will properly forewarn the individual prior to entering an RF exposure area.
Keep a copy of this report available for all persons who must access the site. They should read this report and be aware of the potential hazards with regards to RF and MPE limits.

Appendix E – Regulatory Basis
FCC Rules and Regulations
In 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted regulations for evaluating the effects of RF exposure in 47 CFR § 1.1307 and 1.1310. The guideline from the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology is Bulletin 65 (“OET Bulletin 65”), Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, Edition 97-01, published August 1997. Since 1996 the FCC periodically reviews these rules and regulations as per their congressional mandate.
The FCC has reviewed these rules and regulations beginning in 2019 and have finalized their review in May 2021 with the US Court of Appeals.
FCC regulations define two separate tiers of exposure limits: Occupational or “Controlled environment” and General Public or “Uncontrolled environment”. The General Public limits are generally five times more conservative or restrictive than the Occupational limits. The General Public limits apply to accessible areas where workers or the general public may be exposed to Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields.
Occupational or Controlled limits apply in situations in which persons are exposed as a consequence of their employment and where those persons exposed have been made fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure.
An area is considered a Controlled environment when access is limited to these aware personnel. Typical criteria are restricted access (i.e. locked or alarmed doors, barriers, etc.) to the areas where antennas are located coupled with proper RF hazard signage. A site with Controlled environments is evaluated with Occupational limits.
All other areas are considered Uncontrolled environments. If a site has no access controls or no RF hazard signage it is evaluated with General Public limits.
The theoretical modeling of the RF electromagnetic fields has been performed in accordance with OET Bulletin 65. The Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits utilized in this analysis are outlined in the following diagram:

Appendix F – Safety Plan and Procedures
The following items are general safety recommendations that should be administered on a site by site basis as needed by the carrier.
General Maintenance Work: Any maintenance personnel required to work immediately in front of antennas and / or in areas indicated as above 100% of the Occupational MPE limits should coordinate with the wireless operators to disable transmitters during their work activities.
Training and Qualification Verification: All personnel accessing areas indicated as exceeding the General Population MPE limits should have a basic understanding of EME awareness and RF Safety procedures when working around transmitting antennas. Awareness training increases a worker’s understanding to potential RF exposure scenarios. Awareness can be achieved in a number of ways (e.g. videos, formal classroom lecture or internet-based courses).
Physical Access Control: Access restrictions to transmitting antennas locations is the primary element in a site safety plan. Examples of access restrictions are as follows:
• Locked door or gate
• Alarmed door
• Locked ladder access
• Restrictive Barrier at antenna (e.g. Chain link with posted RF Sign) RF Signage: Everyone should obey all posted signs at all times. RF signs play an important role in properly warning a worker prior to entering into a potential RF Exposure area.
Assume all antennas are active: Due to the nature of telecommunications transmissions, an antenna transmits intermittently. Always assume an antenna is transmitting. Never stop in front of an antenna. If you have to pass by an antenna, move through as quickly and safely as possible thereby reducing any exposure to a minimum.
Site RF Exposure Diagram(s): Section 3 of this report contains RF Diagram(s) that outline various theoretical Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) areas at the site. The modeling is a worst-case scenario assuming a duty cycle of 100% for each transmitting antenna at full power. This analysis is based on one of two access control criteria: General Public criteria means the access to the site is uncontrolled and anyone can gain access. Occupational criteria means the access is restricted and only properly trained individuals can gain access to the antenna locations.

Applicants are encouraged to contact the Planning Division at the earliest possible opportunity to determine the possible need and scope of such studies.
I understand that mitigation measures may be required as a condition of project approval in order to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and to reduce identified potential environmental impacts to less than significant levels. These mitigations may include, but may not necessarily be limited to, changes in the project, off-site improvements or both.
As the Applicant/Agent for this proposal, I hereby state that, to the best of my knowledge the above answers and statements are true and complete.

2 Site Compliance
2.1 Site Compliance Statement
Upon evaluation of the cumulative RF exposure levels from all operators at this site, Sitesafe has determined that:
T-Mobile is compliant with the FCC Rules and Regulations, as described in OET Bulletin 65, and will remain compliant upon implementation of the proposed changes.
The compliance determination is based on theoretical modeling, RF signage placement recommendations, proposed antenna inventory and/or the level of restricted access to the antennas at the site. Any deviation from the T-Mobile proposed deployment plan could result in the site being rendered non-compliant upon further evaluation.
2.2 Actions for Site Compliance
Based on common industry practice and our understanding of FCC and OSHA requirements, this section provides a statement of recommendations for site compliance. If required, RF alert signage recommendations have been proposed based on theoretical analysis of MPE levels.
T-Mobile is compliant with the FCC Rules and Regulations and will remain compliant upon implementation of the proposed changes.
Note: Ensure all existing signage documented in this report still exists on site.
Note: For overall compliance, access to the site (i.e., access road, gate(s), climbing point(s), etc.) must be locked/restricted.
Note: Sitesafe recommends that persons accessing any adjacent trees or properties in excess of 49' above ground level (i.e. landscape and arborist contractors or other maintenance workers) within 108' directly in front of the T-Mobile antennas are informed of areas where RF levels exceed the FCC General Public limit in the airspace 49' above ground level.

3 Analysis
3.1 RF Exposure Diagram
The RF diagram(s) below display theoretical percentage of the Maximum Permissible Exposure for all systems at the site. These diagrams use modeling as prescribed in OET Bulletin 65 and assumptions detailed in Appendix B.
The key at the bottom of each diagram indicates if percentages displayed are referenced to FCC General Public Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits. Color coding on the diagram is as follows:
This table displays the maximum theoretical percentage of the FCC’s General Public MPE limits:
General Public Levels:
Exposure Type: Maximum Spatial Average
Reference Level: Antenna Ground
T-Mobile: 25,239.3% <1.0%
Composite: 25,239.3% <1.0%
Note: On the diagrams shown below, each level is marked with a height. For all diagrams that are marked as Spatially Averaged, the modeling program will spatially average the exposure within the area six feet above each set level. This provides an accurate spatial average of the percentage of the FCC’s MPE limits within an accessible area.
In the RF exposure simulations below, all heights are reflected with respect to the main site level. In most rooftop cases, this is the height of the main rooftop, and in other cases, this may be ground level. Each different area, rooftop, or platform level is labeled with its height relative to the main site level. Exposure is calculated appropriately based on the relative height and location of that area to all antennas. The analyzed elevations in the RF exposure simulations are as follows:

Appendix A – Statement of Limiting Conditions
Sitesafe will not be responsible for matters of a legal nature that affect the site or property.
Due to the complexity of some wireless sites, Sitesafe performed this analysis and created this report utilizing best industry practices and due diligence. Sitesafe cannot be held accountable or responsible for anomalies or discrepancies due to actual site conditions (i.e., mislabeling of antennas or equipment, inaccessible cable runs, inaccessible antennas or equipment, etc.) or information or data supplied by T-Mobile, the site manager, or their affiliates, subcontractors or assigns.
Sitesafe has provided computer generated model(s) in this Site Compliance Report to show approximate dimensions of the site, and the model is included to assist the reader of the compliance report to visualize the site area, and to provide supporting documentation for Sitesafe’s recommendations.
Sitesafe may note in the Site Compliance Report any adverse physical conditions, such as needed repairs, observed during the survey of the subject property or that Sitesafe became aware of during the normal research involved in performing this survey.
Sitesafe will not be responsible for any such conditions that do exist or for any engineering or testing that might be required to discover whether such conditions exist.
Because Sitesafe is not an expert in the field of mechanical engineering or building maintenance, the Site Compliance Report must not be considered a structural or physical engineering report.
Sitesafe obtained information used in this Site Compliance Report from sources that Sitesafe considers reliable and believes them to be true and correct. Sitesafe does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy of such items that were furnished by other parties. When conflicts in information occur between data provided by a second party and physical data collected by Sitesafe, the physical data will be used.

Appendix B – Assumptions and Definitions
General Model Assumptions
In this site compliance report, it is assumed that all antennas are operating at full power at all times. Software modeling was performed for all transmitting antennas located on the site. Sitesafe has further assumed a 100% duty cycle and maximum radiated power.
The site has been modeled with these assumptions to show the maximum RF energy density. Sitesafe believes this to be a worst-case analysis, based on best available data. Areas modeled to predict exposure exposure greater than 100% of the applicable MPE level may not actually occur but are shown as a worst-case prediction that could be realized real time. Sitesafe believes these areas to be safe for entry by occupationally trained personnel utilizing appropriate personal protective equipment (in most cases, a personal monitor).
Thus, at any time, if power density measurements were made, we believe the realtime measurements would indicate levels below those depicted in the RF exposure diagram(s) in this report. By modeling in this way, Sitesafe has conservatively shown exclusion areas – areas that should not be entered without the use of a personal monitor, carriers reducing power, or performing real-time measurements to indicate real-time exposure levels.

Definitions
5% Rule – The rules adopted by the FCC specify that, in general, at multiple transmitter sites actions necessary to bring the area into compliance with the guidelines are the shared responsibility of all licensees whose transmitters produce field strengths or power density levels at the area in question in excess of 5% of the exposure limits. In other words, any wireless operator that contributes 5% or greater of the MPE limit in an area that is identified to be greater than 100% of the MPE limit is responsible for taking corrective actions to bring the site into compliance.
Compliance – The determination of whether a site complies with FCC standards with regards to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields from transmitting antennas.
Decibel (dB) – A unit for measuring power or strength of a signal.
Duty Cycle – The percent of pulse duration to the pulse period of a periodic pulse train. Also, may be a measure of the temporal transmission characteristic of an intermittently transmitting RF source such as a paging antenna by dividing average transmission duration by the average period for transmission. A duty cycle of 100% corresponds to continuous operation.
Effective (or Equivalent) Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) – The product of the power supplied to the antenna and the antenna gain in a given direction relative to an isotropic antenna.
Effective Radiated Power (ERP) – The product of the power supplied to the antenna and the antenna gain in a given direction relative to a half-wave dipole antenna.
Gain (of an antenna) – The ratio, usually expressed in decibels, of the power required at the input of a loss-free reference antenna to the power supplied to the input of the given antenna to produce, in a given direction, the same field strength or the same power density at the same distance. When not specified otherwise, the gain refers to the direction of maximum radiation. Gain may be considered for a specified polarization. Gain may be referenced to an isotropic antenna (dBi) or a half-wave dipole (dBd) antenna.
General Population/Uncontrolled Environment – Defined by the FCC as an area where RF exposure may occur to persons who are unaware of the potential for exposure and who have no control over their exposure. General Population is also referenced as General Public.
Generic Antenna – For the purposes of this report, the use of “Generic” as an antenna model means the antenna information was not provided and could not be obtained while on site. In the event of unknown information, Sitesafe will use its industry specific knowledge of antenna models to select a worst-case scenario antenna to model the site.
Isotropic Antenna – An antenna that is completely non-directional. In other words, an antenna that radiates energy equally in all directions.
https://www.sitesafe.com/
703.276.1100 • [email protected] Page 15 of 22
Maximum Measurement – This measurement represents the single largest measurement recorded when performing a spatial average measurement.
Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) – The rms and peak electric and magnetic field strength, their squares, or the plane-wave equivalent power densities associated with these fields to which a person may be exposed without harmful effect and with acceptable safety factor.
Occupational/Controlled Environment – Defined by the FCC as an area where RF exposure may occur to persons who are aware of the potential for exposure as a condition of employment or specific activity and can exercise control over their exposure.
OET Bulletin 65 – Technical guideline developed by the FCC’s Office of Engineering and Technology to determine the impact of RF exposure on humans. The guideline was published in August 1997.
OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) – Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthy workplace for their employees. OSHA's role is to promote the safety and health of America's working men and women by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual process improvement in workplace safety and health. For more information, visit www.osha.gov.
Radio Frequency Exposure or Electromagnetic Fields – Electromagnetic waves that are propagated from antennas through space.
Spatial Average Measurement – A technique used to average a minimum of ten (10) measurements taken in a ten (10) second interval from zero (0) to six (6) feet. This measurement is intended to model the average energy a 6-foot tall human body will absorb while present in an electromagnetic field of energy.
Transmitter Power Output (TPO) – The radio frequency output power of a transmitter’s final radio frequency stage as measured at the output terminal while connected to a load.

Appendix C – Rules & Regulations
Explanation of Applicable Rules and Regulations
The FCC has set forth guidelines in OET Bulletin 65 for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields. Specific regulations regarding this topic are listed in Part 1, Subpart I, of Title 47 in the Code of Federal Regulations. Currently, there are two different levels of MPE - General Public MPE and Occupational MPE. An individual classified as Occupational can be defined as an individual who has received appropriate RF training and meets the conditions outlined below. General Public is defined as anyone who does not meet the conditions of being Occupational. FCC and OSHA Rules and Regulations define compliance in terms of total exposure to total RF energy, regardless of location of or proximity to the sources of energy.
It is the responsibility of all licensees to ensure these guidelines are maintained at all times. It is the ongoing responsibility of all licensees composing the site to maintain ongoing compliance with FCC rules and regulations. Individual licensees that contribute less than 5% MPE to any total area out of compliance are not responsible for corrective actions.
OSHA has adopted and enforces the FCC’s exposure guidelines. A building owner or site manager can use this report as part of an overall RF Health and Safety Policy. It is important for building owners/site managers to identify areas in excess of the General Population MPE and ensure that only persons qualified as Occupational are granted access to those areas.
Occupational Environment Explained
The FCC definition of Occupational exposure limits apply to persons who:
• are exposed to RF energy as a consequence of their employment; • have been made aware of the possibility of exposure; and • can exercise control over their exposure.
OSHA guidelines go further to state that persons must complete RF Safety Awareness training and must be trained in the use of appropriate personal protective equipment.
In order to consider this site an Occupational Environment, the site must be controlled to prevent access by any individuals classified as the General Public. Compliance is also maintained when any non-occupational individuals (the General Public) are prevented from accessing areas indicated as Red or Yellow in the attached RF exposure diagram. In addition, a person must be aware of the RF environment into which they are entering. This can be accomplished by an RF Safety Awareness class, and by appropriate written documentation such as this Site Compliance Report.
All T-Mobile employees who require access to this site must complete RF Safety Awareness training and must be trained in the use of appropriate personal protective equipment.

Appendix D – General Safety Recommendations
The following are general recommendations appropriate for any site with accessible areas in excess of 100% General Public MPE. These recommendations are not specific to this site. These are safety recommendations appropriate for typical site management, building management, and other tenant operations.
1. All individuals needing access to the main site (or the area indicated to be in excess of General Public MPE) should wear a personal protective monitor (PPM), successfully complete proper RF Safety Awareness training, and have and be trained in the use of appropriate personal protective equipment.
2. All individuals needing access to the main site should be instructed to read and obey all posted placards and signs.
3. The site should be routinely inspected and this or similar report updated with the addition of any antennas or upon any changes to the RF environment including:
• adding new antennas that may have been located on the site • removing of any existing antennas
• changes in the radiating power or number of RF emitters
4. Post the appropriate NOTICE, CAUTION, or WARNING sign at the main site access point(s) and other locations as required. Note: Please refer to RF Exposure Diagrams in Section 3.1 to inform everyone who has access to this site that beyond posted signs there may be levels in excess of the limits prescribed by the FCC. In addition to RF Advisory Signage, a RF Guideline Signage is recommended to be posted at the main site access point(s). The signs below are examples of signs meeting FCC guidelines.
5. Ensure that the site door remains locked (or appropriately controlled) to deny access to the general public if deemed as policy by the building/site owner.
6. For a General Public environment the five color levels identified in this analysis can be interpreted in the following manner:
https://www.sitesafe.com/
703.276.1100 • [email protected] Page 18 of 22
• Gray represents areas predicted to be at 5% or less of the General Public MPE limits. The General Public can access these areas with no restrictions. • Green represents areas predicted to be between 5% and 100% of the General Public MPE limits. The General Public can access these areas with no restrictions.
• Blue represents areas predicted to be between 100% and 500% of the General Public MPE limits. The General Public should be restricted from accessing these areas.
• Yellow represents areas predicted to be between 500% and 5000% of the General Public MPE limits. The General Public should be restricted from accessing these areas.
• Red represents areas predicted to be greater than 5000% of the General Public MPE limits. The General Public should be restricted from accessing these areas.
7. For an Occupational environment the five color levels identified in this analysis can be interpreted in the following manner:
• Gray represents areas predicted to be at 1% or less of the Occupational MPE limits. Workers can access these areas with no restrictions. • Green represents areas predicted to be between 1% and 20% of the Occupational MPE limits. Workers can access these areas with no restrictions. • Blue represents areas predicted to be between 20% and 100% of the Occupational MPE limits. Workers can access these areas assuming they have basic understanding of EME awareness and RF safety procedures and understand how to limit their exposure.
• Yellow represents areas predicted to be between 100% and 1000% of the Occupational MPE limits. Workers can access these areas assuming they have basic understanding of EME awareness and RF safety procedures and understand how to limit their exposure. Transmitter power reduction and/or time-averaging may be required.
• Red represents areas predicted to be greater than 1000% of the Occupational MPE limits. These areas are not safe for workers to be in for prolonged periods of time. Special procedures must be adhered to, such as lockout/tagout or transmitter power reduction, to minimize worker exposure to EME.
8. Use of a Personal Protective Monitor (PPM): When working around antennas, Sitesafe strongly recommends the use of a PPM. Wearing a PPM will properly forewarn the individual prior to entering an RF exposure area.
Keep a copy of this report available for all persons who must access the site. They should read this report and be aware of the potential hazards with regards to RF and MPE limits.

https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.html Appendix E – Regulatory Basis
FCC Rules and Regulations
In 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted regulations for evaluating the effects of RF exposure in 47 CFR § 1.1307 and 1.1310. The guideline from the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology is Bulletin 65 (“OET Bulletin 65”), Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, Edition 97-01, published August 1997. Since 1996 the FCC periodically reviews these rules and regulations as per their congressional mandate.
FCC regulations define two separate tiers of exposure limits: Occupational or “Controlled environment” and General Public or “Uncontrolled environment”. The General Public limits are generally five times more conservative or restrictive than the Occupational limits. The General Public limits apply to accessible areas where workers or the general public may be exposed to Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields.
Occupational or Controlled limits apply in situations in which persons are exposed as a consequence of their employment and where those persons exposed have been made fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure.
An area is considered a Controlled environment when access is limited to these aware personnel. Typical criteria are restricted access (i.e. locked or alarmed doors, barriers, etc.) to the areas where antennas are located coupled with proper RF hazard signage. A site with Controlled environments is evaluated with Occupational limits.
All other areas are considered Uncontrolled environments. If a site has no access controls or no RF hazard signage it is evaluated with General Public limits.
The theoretical modeling of the RF electromagnetic fields has been performed in accordance with OET Bulletin 65. The Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits utilized in this analysis are outlined in the following diagram:

Appendix F – Safety Plan and Procedures
The following items are general safety recommendations that should be administered on a site by site basis as needed by the carrier.
General Maintenance Work: Any maintenance personnel required to work immediately in front of antennas and / or in areas indicated as above 100% of the Occupational MPE limits should coordinate with the wireless operators to disable transmitters during their work activities.
Training and Qualification Verification: All personnel accessing areas indicated as exceeding the General Population MPE limits should have a basic understanding of EME awareness and RF Safety procedures when working around transmitting antennas. Awareness training increases a worker’s understanding to potential RF exposure scenarios. Awareness can be achieved in a number of ways (e.g. videos, formal classroom lecture or internet-based courses).
Physical Access Control: Access restrictions to transmitting antennas locations is the primary element in a site safety plan. Examples of access restrictions are as follows:
• Locked door or gate
• Alarmed door
• Locked ladder access
• Restrictive Barrier at antenna (e.g. Chain link with posted RF Sign) RF Signage: Everyone should obey all posted signs at all times. RF signs play an important role in properly warning a worker prior to entering into a potential RF Exposure area.
Assume all antennas are active: Due to the nature of telecommunications transmissions, an antenna transmits intermittently. Always assume an antenna is transmitting. Never stop in front of an antenna. If you have to pass by an antenna, move through as quickly and safely as possible thereby reducing any exposure to a minimum.
Site RF Exposure Diagram(s): Section 3 of this report contains RF Diagram(s) that outline various theoretical Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) areas at the site. The modeling is a worst-case scenario assuming a duty cycle of 100% for each transmitting antenna at full power. This analysis is based on one of two access control criteria: General Public criteria means the access to the site is uncontrolled and anyone can gain access. Occupational criteria means the access is restricted and only properly trained individuals can gain access to the antenna locations.
Planning Commission Project Clarification Questions
The answers to clarification questions that were asked by a Planning Commissioner are below in red.
Clarifications provided at or after the meeting are below in blue.
1. How is pole height measured? What is total (ground to top of equipment) height? It looks like 5 feet for the base and 60 feet for the pole totaling 65 feet. The pole is measured from ground level to the top of the monopole. In total the monopole is 65-feet tall.
2. What transmit frequency and power were used to make the RF simulation exposure on page 53? Additionally, for that simulation, please provide the following formation used for that simulation (section 4 lists all proposed antennas and internal radios, so please provide information which radios were used for the simulation):
• The power at the antenna? The max power into the antennas can be found in the 3 Power Columns in the Section 4 Antenna Table (Power, Power Type, and Power Units). • What is the mode duty cycle? Assuming carrier cycle at 100% - please confirm.
As referenced in Appendix B, this report assumed 100% duty cycle and maximum radiated power. • Transmit duty cycle? See response to above question.
• Antenna Gain (dBi) The antenna gain of the antennas can be found in the Ant Gain (dBd) column in the Section 4 Antenna Table.
• Operating frequency The operating frequency of the antennas can be found in the TX Freq (MHz) column in the Section 4 Antenna Table.
3. What is on the pole now? It says there is some "wireless" on the pole now but wireless could be anything from a walkie-talkie to a cell phone to Wi-Fi. Please provide clarification. There is currently nothing mounted on the pole. There is existing ground mounted equipment within the lease area. See Sheet A-1.2 of the plan set for the equipment plan. The equipment plan shows existing and new equipment.
During the March 13, 2025 Planning Commission meeting, staff clarified that there is a sprint radome antenna that makes up the top 5 feet of the pole. That antenna will be removed with the overall pole.
4. "The existing wireless facility was issued an approval in 2001 (Building Permit No. 01030203) for the construction of a 35-foot-tall monopole and associated equipment, within a 275 square foot leasing area located behind the existing commercial building at 401 First Street." Can you please provide the details of Building Permit No. 01030203 from 2001? The project description of that building permit is: “The project involves the installation of one tri-sector crosspolar antenna, one GPS antenna, and five equipment cabinets. The cross-polar antenna will be mounted in a 35’0” tall pole. The equipment cabinets will house the transmit and receive equipment.” The applicant at the time was Sprint.
5. Page: pdf 52 5-100 % of FCC Public Exposure Limit. Below 100%, what signs are required? As documented in the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) report, there are no MPE issues 15’ above ground. No signage is required below 100% exposure levels.
6. Page: pdf 50
"Note: SiteSafe recommends that persons accessing any adjacent trees or properties in excess of 49' above ground level (i.e. landscape and arborist contractors or other maintenance workers) within 111' directly in front of the T-Mobile antennas are informed of areas where RF levels exceed the FCC General Public limit in the airspace 49' above ground level." This references Occupational exposure. What about General Population exposure which has more restrictive limits? To clarify, the distances listed in the report are assuming General Public and not Occupational MPE limits. Additionally, the general public should not be accessing any areas that are above the allowable general public exposure limits. Only workers would need to gain access and would be properly notified.
7. What are the General Population exposure concerns at 15 feet above ground at 160' away? As documented in the MPE report, there are no MPE issues 15’ above ground. This would be within the 0-5% public exposure limit.
8. Please provide horizontal azimuth as vertical azimuth (page 53) is insufficient. The current MPE report includes 2 MPE plots. The 1st MPE plot, which is labeled Composite View is confirming that all General Public areas near wireless sites are well below General Public Limits. The FCC has set the General Public MPE limit at 100% and the MPE theoretical assessment in this MPE plot shows all areas are below 5% General Public MPE. The 2nd MPE plot which is labeled Elevation View – Southwest is showing that areas of above General Public MPE limit are at the antenna level and 49’ above the ground level.
As part of the appeal packet, the applicant provided an updated Radio Frequency Report that contains a horizontal azimuth.
9. Please provide data sheets for:
• APXVAALL24_43-U-NA20
• Ericsson 4480 B71/B85
Please see sheet A4.1 of plans.
10. I thought that I read that the design will be determined. I would like to know if there is in intent to hide or disguise the tower? Currently, the proposal is to paint the monopole a flat color (gray). A tree design was considered but the applicant notified us that they would have to make the pole 5 feet taller for the branching and that there would be some overhang on to the building. Staff were also concerned with the appearance of a tree as the monopole is located in the middle of the parking lot and there are not many trees surrounding the site.
11. What are the addresses of all the T-Mobile owned towers in Gilroy? What are the addresses of the towers that T-Mobile uses from other carriers? Which T-Mobile towers have other carriers using their towers as well? The applicant informed staff that T-Mobile does not own any towers within City of Gilroy limits. T-Mobile is only the wireless operator. Crown Castle owns the monopole.

Resolution No. 2025-XX
Appeal of V 24-01
City Council Regular Meeting | May 5, 2025
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Gilroy hereby grants approval of the appeal of the March 13, 2025 Planning Commission determination and approves Variance Permit V 24-01 based on the following findings made pursuant to Gilroy Code section 30.50.20(3) subject to the conditions identified in Exhibit A to this resolution:
1. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances applying to the property involved or to the proposed use.
Due to the property’s size, configuration, and existing structures, there are exceptional circumstances that prevent the wireless facility from meeting the minimum 65-foot setback from all property lines. Additionally, the proposed coverage would not be able to be comparably obtained if the monopole were limited to the maximum allowable height of the C1 Neighborhood Commercial zoning district (35 feet). Zoning districts that would allow a monopole height of 65 feet are not located in the general vicinity of the coverage gap.
2. That because of such exceptional or extraordinary circumstances, the literal enforcement of specified provisions of this chapter would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship such as to deprive the applicant of a substantial property right possessed by other owners of property in the same class or district.
The literal enforcement of the wireless facility setback would cause hardship due to the lot’s configuration and existing conditions. Additionally, co-locating on an existing facility would not be possible as there are no other existing wireless facilities within 1,000 feet of the site. There is no zoning district within 1,000 feet of the site that would permit a 65- foot-tall monopole without going through the variance process. Most of the surrounding properties are zoned Neighborhood Commercial or Single Family Residential/Medium Density Residential. Installation of new wireless facilities on residential-zoned properties are not preferred as it could impact the character of the residential neighborhood and has potential to pose a greater impact to public safety and general welfare.
3. That the allowance of the variance will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be materially detrimental to the public welfare or materially injurious to persons or property in the vicinity.
The allowance of the variance would not be detrimental to the public welfare because the proposed wireless facility will comply with all FCC and FAA rules and regulations.
Additionally, the wireless facility will be routinely maintained as needed, have all required signage, and implement a security plan to prevent unauthorized personnel from accessing the facility. The increase in telecommunication coverage would benefit the public and enhance the city’s emergency response network.
Resolution No. 2025-XX
Appeal of V 24-01
City Council Regular Meeting | May 5, 2025
4. That the results of allowing the variances as specified will be in harmony with the general intent of the Zoning Ordinance.
The allowance of the variance would be in harmony with the general intent of the Zoning Ordinance because commercial and industrial-zoned properties are the preferred location for the installation of wireless facilities. There would be no impact on the existing business operations and parking as the work taking place will be within the existing 275 square foot lease area. Additionally, the new wireless facility would allow for future collocation for any interested carriers.
5. That the granting of a variance will not constitute the granting of a special privilege greater than that provided for by the standard provisions of this chapter for other properties in the vicinity and in the same zoning district.
The granting of the variance would not constitute the granting of a special privilege because the proposed wireless facility will provide a necessary service to the public and the coverage could not be comparably obtained at a height lower than 65 feet.

Department: Administration
Submitted by: Andy Faber
Prepared by: Andy Faber
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS: Ensure Neighborhood Equity from City Services
RECOMMENDATION
Hold a Public Hearing and receive public input and a presentation from the City of Gilroy's consulting Demographer, Redistricting Partners, regarding the process and criteria for establishing boundaries for district elections pursuant to the California Voting Rights Act for the City Council. This could include discussion of the following topics:
1. The Communities of Interest within the City that should define the boundaries and composition of districts.
2. Review of additional draft maps submitted by Redistricting Partners and the public, including requests for changes to existing draft maps or requests to prepare new draft maps.
3. Provide direction regarding the final draft map for adoption at a Public Hearing on May 19, 2025.
4. Consideration of the Order of Elections, that is, which three districts will be on the ballot in 2026, and which three districts will be on the 2028 ballot.
5. Consideration of the period of time candidates for City Council must be residents and electors of the district in which they seek election prior to filing their nomination papers and declaring their intent to run.
BACKGROUND
The City of Gilroy ("City") currently has an at-large election system, where each of the City's six Councilmembers are elected to staggered four-year terms by voters throughout the City. The mayor is also elected at-large to a four-year term.
1. Letter Alleging Violation of the CVRA and the City’s Resolution of Intent to Transition from At-Large to District-Based Elections.
On December 16, 2024, the City received a letter alleging a violation of the California Voting Rights Act (“CVRA”). The letter asserts that the City is in violation of the CVRA because the City's councilmember elections are at-large as opposed to by district and there exists racial polarization and vote dilution. On February 24, 2025, the City Council adopted a resolution declaring its intent to transition to a district-based electoral system commencing with the November 2026 Election.
2. Public Hearings, Public Input, and Community Workshops.
On March 3, 2025, and March 17, 2025, the City Council held the first and second of five public hearings required for the City’s transition to by-district elections. Public Hearings Nos. 1 and 2 were held prior to any draft maps being drawn. Redistricting Partners, the City’s retained demographer, made presentations at both public hearings regarding the CVRA, the transition process from at-large to district elections, the potential composition and number of districts, as well as the public input process.
Members of the public provided input at both hearings regarding communities of interest in and the various attributes of the City of Gilroy to aid in the districting process. At the close of the March 17th hearing, having considered the public's input and the presentation by Redistricting Partners, the City Council provided direction to the demographer to begin drawing draft maps for a by-district electoral system comprised of six districts and an at-large mayor.
In addition, on March 25 and March 29, 2025, the City hosted two workshops—offering childcare and language translation — where Redistricting Partners gave a presentation on districting, facilitated a Q&A session, engaged the public in map-drawing, and gathered additional public input.
On April 7, 2025, Public Hearing No. 3 was held to receive public and City Council feedback on the first set of draft maps. After considering this public input and the presentation by the demographer, the City Council provided direction to Redistricting Partners on proposed revisions to the draft maps to be considered and new maps drawn.
On April 21, 2025, Public Hearing No. 4 was held to receive public and City Council feedback on the second set of draft maps. After considering this public input and the presentation by the demographer, the City Council provided direction to Redistricting Partners on proposed revisions to the draft maps to be considered and new maps drawn.
3. Draft Map Development.
Based on public input and City Council feedback at the April 21 Public Hearing No. 4, the City’s consulting demographer, Redistricting Partners, further developed and revised draft maps, which were posted on the City’s website on April 28, 2025. These draft maps were designed to incorporate and address the public’s concerns and the direction provided by the City Council, all the while ensuring that the draft maps comply with both the CVRA and the Federal Voting Rights Act, as well as the sound map drawing/ demographic principles and meeting the requirements of the Fair Maps Act.
These new draft maps incorporate the underlying Census tract geography to establish the boundaries of individual City Council districts. In drawing these maps, every care was taken to honor neighborhoods and communities of interest as identified through public input. Furthermore, each of the maps complies with the 10% total deviation requirement between the largest to smallest district by population. Further explanation of the public input received and analysis that went in to drafting each of these new draft maps will be provided by Redistricting Partners on May 5, 2025, at Public Hearing No.
5. Also posted on the City's website by or on that date, were three maps that were submitted by members of the public.
At the May 5, 2025, Public Hearing No. 5, the City Council will take public input and provide feedback on the second set of draft maps. It will also provide direction to Redistricting Partners on any proposed revisions to be considered or new maps to be drawn in preparation for Public Hearing No. 6 on May 19, 2025. Again, the maps can be revised, or new maps drawn, after having been posted on the City's website by April 28, 2025. The City Council public hearing on May 19, 2025 will provide additional opportunities for public input and the City Council's consideration of draft maps to ensure that the public has sufficient opportunity to engage in the process. Any maps to be considered at the May 19, 2025, Public Hearing No. 6 will be posted on the City's website by May 12, 2025.
4. Other Matters/ Order of Elections & Residency Requirements.
In addition to the drawing and consideration of maps, the City Council also must determine the order of elections – that is, which three districts will be on the ballot in November of 2026, and which three districts will be on the ballot in November of 2028, as City Council terms are staggered under state law. The City Council will make this decision once it has selected a final map but may continue to hold these discussions on this topic at this Public Hearing No. 5. The decision on the order of elections must be made “in the spirit of the CVRA.”
The City Council may also determine whether candidates for City Council must be residents of the district in which they seek election for any period of time prior to filing
their nomination papers. Pursuant to Government Code section 34882, a candidate running for a city councilmember position is not eligible to hold that office unless they reside in the geographical area making up the district from which they are elected at the time their nomination papers are issued. The City Council may consider what period of time city council candidates must be residents and electors of the district in which they seek election prior to filing their nomination papers and declaring their intent to run. The City Council invites the public to provide their input on this topic.
As a general matter, and as the public may have noticed, incumbency and the location of current City Councilmembers’ residences are not and have not been discussed during the map-drawing process during the first four Public Hearings on the transition from at-large to district-based elections under the California Voting Rights Act. This is because incumbency and political party are not “communities of interest” for purposes of map drawing. Indeed, the Fair Maps Act precludes consideration of incumbency or current Councilmember addresses in defining the contours of the districts. Thus, there again will be no discussion of these matters at Public Hearing No. 5 this coming Monday, May 5, 2025, unless the City Council selects a final map. Once the City Council has chosen a final map on May 5 or at the May 19 Public Hearing No. 6, the Council may consider in which districts current Councilmembers reside in picking the order of elections – that is, which 3 districts will be on the ballot in 2026 and which 3 districts will be on the 2028 ballot. The law requires that the order of elections be determined in the spirit of the California Voting Rights Act with the aim to increase participation and the likelihood that minority residents can elect candidates of their choice. The districts in which current Councilmembers reside may be relevant to selection of districts for the 2026 or 2028 ballots given that Councilmember terms are staggered four-year terms.
5. Final Review, Map Selection, and Ongoing Outreach.
At the Public Hearing No. 6 on May 19, 2025, the City Council will select a map and also the order of elections - that is, which three (3) districts will be on the November 2026 ballot, and which three (3) districts will be on the ballot in November of 2028. The City Council will also decide the residency requirements for City Council candidates.
The City Council will then pass an ordinance that defines both the boundaries of the six new districts and the order of elections.
The City has and will continue to conduct an extensive community outreach effort to solicit feedback and input on the draft maps.
In accordance with Elections Code Section 10010, the City published on its website the draft maps prepared by Redistricting Partners seven (7) days prior to this hearing. Any updated draft maps will also be published seven (7) days in advance of any future public hearing.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
There is no fiscal impact to hold this meeting as the City has already retained the services of outside legal counsel and a demographer to assist in the transition to
district-based elections.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
None.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
Throughout the process in this transition to district elections, the City has engaged in a robust effort to encourage participation and inclusivity as a part of the process. After the April 21, 2025, Council meeting, the City will continue its robust community outreach effort to solicit feedback on the draft maps and the districting process in a general sense.
The City has and is also providing multiple ways for the public to submit feedback through in-person and online formats such as map drawing, fillable Communities of Interest forms, and submission of public comment. Members of the public are encouraged to regularly visit the City’s districting webpage at:
https://www.cityofgilroy.org/1069/Transition-to-District-Based-Elections Members of the public can access all meeting materials as well as provide input on the districting process and draft maps via the City’s website.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
During the regular meeting of February 24, 2025, the City Council adopted a Resolution declaring its Intent to Transition to District-Based Elections pursuant to California Elections Code Section 10010, with the transition taking effect for the November 2026 and 2028 Elections.
During the regular meeting of March 3, 2025, the City Council held its first public hearing – Public Hearing No. 1 - related to the transition to district-based elections.
There, the City's demographer, Redistricting Partners, made a presentation on the CVRA and the transition process for preparing district boundaries.
On March 17, 2025, the City Council held Public Hearing No. 2 at which the City’s demographer, Redistricting Partners, made a second presentation on the transition process for preparing district boundaries and how to use the City’s online map-drawing tool, “Districtr.” The City Council also determined on that date that the City of Gilroy will continue to have six City Council members – now in six distinct districts – and an atlarge mayor.
On March 25 and March 29, 2025, the City hosted two workshops—offering childcare and language interpretation—where Redistricting Partners gave a presentation on districting, facilitated a Q&A session, engaged the public in map-drawing, and gathered further public input.
On April 7, 2025, the City Council held Public Hearing No. 3 to receive public and City Council feedback on this first set of draft maps. The City Council, after considering public input, provided direction to Redistricting Partners on proposed map revisions and new maps to be drawn for Public Hearing No. 4 on April 21, 2025.
On April 21, 2025, the City Council held Public Hearing No. 4 to receive public and City Council feedback on the second set of draft maps. The City Council, after considering public input, provided direction to Redistricting Partners on proposed map revisions and new maps to be drawn for Public Hearing No. 5 on May 5, 2025.

Public Maps: FAIR MAPS Act Assessment
The following maps were submitted by April 28, 2025, and can be considered during the May 5 public hearing Under the FAIR MAPS Act, the City of Gilroy is required to follow a ranked list of criteria in their districting process:
• Relatively equal in population size – total deviation is under 10% • Contiguous
• Maintains “communities of interest”
• Easily identifiable and understandable lines, following city, natural, and man-made boundaries
• Compact
As demographers, we can assess all criteria objectively except for “maintaining communities of interest.” This particular criterion is subjective by definition and should be discussed by the public and the City Council to determine how well these maps fulfil this criterion.
This assessment is meant to inform the City Council on which maps already follow the FAIR MAPS Act guidelines and does not exclude any map from being considered. Any map can be uplifted as a draft and, if necessary, modified to follow the FMA criteria at the discretion of the City Council.

Subject: EXTERNAL - In favor of redistricting
Date: Monday, March 3, 2025 1: 24: 34 PM
Dear City Council and Honorable Mayor of the City of Gilroy, I am writing in support of Item 10.1 on today' s City Council agenda. I am grateful and relieved that the council has made the decision to transition from at-large to district- level elections.
Gilroy has grown considerably over the past few decades and needs a governance structure that can be responsive to the different needs of different areas of our growing and diverse community. This approach will give community members a better connection to our government and the knowledge that there is a council member both familiar with the specific conditions where they live and an accountability to their neighborhood. This will strengthen all neighborhoods. It will also make it possible for more people to seek elective office by reducing the number of potential voters each candidate is seeking to represent. This will reduce the cost of running for office and preclude the necessity of seeking campaign contributions from out-of-town donors.
The California Voting Rights Act requires voting districts that are fair, equitable, and respectful of communities of interest.
As districts are drawn we should consider specific socio- economic factors: specifically income, but also ratio of renters to homeowners, age of infrastructure, presence of HOAs, and the geographic boundaries created by major roads and freeways and creeks.
My East side neighborhood, adjacent to Eliot School, is one such community of interest: It is a predominantly working- class neighborhood of older homes, a high proportion of renters, and city roads and sidewalks rather than HOAs. We are in walking distance to the bus/train station and likely to be heavily impacted by high speed rail, if and when it comes through Gilroy. Our neighborhood includes both immigrants and families that have lived in Gilroy for generations.
Multiple languages are spoken here. It will be important to have a representative on the City Council who understands this community and its unique needs as part of a strong Gilroy for the future.
Sincerely,
Jan Bernstein Chargin

Description
Blue/ “ Oldtown West” The western portion of Oldtown Gilroy, bounded by Church Street, 10th Street, Wren Avenue, and 1st Street, clearly qualifies as a Community of Interest under the criteria outlined in California’ s Fair Maps Act. This neighborhood is defined by shared social and economic characteristics, strong civic and cultural institutions, and distinctive infrastructure that directly impacts how its residents live, move, and interact with their community.
Gold/ “ Oldtown East” The eastern portion of Oldtown Gilroy, including the Historic Downtown, should clearly be recognized as a Community of Interest under California’ s Fair Maps Act. This neighborhood is the most urban and mixed- use area in the city. It is bounded roughly by Highway 101 to the east, 10th Street to the south, Church Street to the west, and 1st Street and Leavesley Road to the north. Within this compact area is a vibrant mix of housing, businesses, cultural institutions, community
3 | P a g e
organizations, and public services that form a highly interdependent and distinct neighborhood.
Oldtown East has by far the densest population of Hispanic residents in Gilroy. Compared to the city average of 56.6%, Oldtown East is 84.6% Hispanic. Despite this, it has a significantly lower-than-average Citizen Voting Age Population ( CVAP), which makes the community particularly vulnerable to vote dilution under the California Voting Rights Act. Maintaining this neighborhood as a single district is critical to preserving the collective voice of a population that has long been active in civic life but underrepresented politically.
The centerpiece of the area is Historic Downtown Gilroy, which includes dozens of small businesses that serve both local residents and visitors. These businesses range from restaurants and retail shops to professional services. Many of them cater specifically to the local Hispanic and Spanish- speaking community— especially south of 6th Street and Railroad Street— where residents rely on locally owned establishments such as tax and immigration services, auto repair shops, a medical clinic, bodega- style groceries, Mexican restaurants, joyerías, botanicas, salons, barbershops, party supply stores, florists, laundromats, clothing shops, and so much more. Additional businesses include breweries, antique stores, a comic book store, a used book store, art studios, a live events theater, sign shops, a silk-screening shop, a custom frame store, and dozens of restaurants. Many of these businesses are minority- and immigrant- owned, offering affordable goods and services and creating pathways to economic self-sufficiency.
The housing stock in this neighborhood includes older single- family homes, multi-generational residences, mixed- use buildings with apartments above shops, and a variety of small- scale multifamily housing. Much of this housing qualifies as naturally occurring affordable housing— unsubsidized but still accessible due to age, size, and zoning. This diversity supports a wide range of households and income levels and provides a critical alternative to the more uniform and car-dependent housing found in newer parts of Gilroy.
There is also a dense concentration of nonprofits and community organizations in the neighborhood. These include the Gilroy Chamber of Commerce, CARAS, Nueva Vida, the Garlic Festival Association, CMAP TV, Gilroy Arts Alliance, 6th Street Studios and Art Center, Pintello Comedy Theater, Gilroy Grange, Rebekah’ s Children’ s Services, Social Vocational Services, IOOF Hall, and numerous churches. These organizations serve the local population in public health, education, family services, the arts, media, and cultural preservation. Many offer services in Spanish, meeting a vital need in a neighborhood where language access is a shared concern.
Oldtown East also hosts a variety of neighborhood- focused cultural and community events. These include the annual Tamal Festival, annual
4 | P a g e
Ofrenda Festival, weekly Downtown Live summer concert series, car shows, cruise nights, a Christmas Festival, Memorial Day Parade, and Portuguese cultural parades. Larger events that attract a citywide audience— such as National Night Out, the Beer Crawl, and the Heart of Gilroy Art and Wine Stroll— also take place in the downtown core, further reinforcing this neighborhood’ s role as a cultural and civic hub.
Churches in this neighborhood are deeply embedded in the daily life of residents. Many parishioners walk to services, and most churches serve primarily Spanish- speaking congregants. These institutions often have little or no off-street parking, which underscores their role as walkable, neighborhood- based anchors and reflects the strong sense of local cohesion.
Oldtown East shares several characteristics with neighboring Oldtown West, including access to public transit, proximity to schools and parks, and a walkable street grid. However, Oldtown East exhibits even greater density, more mixed- use zoning, and a higher concentration of both housing and commercial spaces. This makes it the neighborhood in Gilroy with the greatest opportunity for residents to live and work within walking distance. The Railroad Street corridor and the mixed- use commercial spaces sprinkled throughout the area, in particular, provide affordable commercial spaces that foster small and startup businesses.
These enterprises help maintain the neighborhood’ s affordability and economic vitality. There is also a rich history of small businesses being run out of residences or in shared outdoor spaces ( ie pulgas, yard sales, or flea markets).
The neighborhood is also home to important public services, including the Gilroy Transit Center, which connects residents to Caltrain, Amtrak, VTA, and MST; the city’s only public art center; and Rebekah’ s Children’ s Services, a major nonprofit that supports at-risk youth and families and provides foster care services. The area is surrounded by all the City’s key commercial corridors along 1st Street, 10th Street, Leavesley Road, and the Historic Downtown core, ensuring that essential goods and services remain accessible on foot or by transit— an especially critical feature for youth, seniors, and others who do not or cannot drive.
If this neighborhood were divided across multiple districts, the cohesive voice of its residents— particularly Hispanic, Spanish- speaking, lowincome, and immigrant communities— would be diluted. Its unique needs around housing, small business development, cultural identity, walkability, and access to services would be far less likely to be addressed effectively. Keeping Oldtown East intact is essential to ensuring these shared interests are represented at City Hall.
5 | P a g e
In summary, Oldtown East offers a way of life that is distinct from the rest of Gilroy. It is defined by walkability, mixed land use, local businesses, cultural vibrancy, economic diversity, and strong community ties. Residents rely on a dense network of neighborhood- based services and institutions that bind them together as a coherent and interdependent community. This neighborhood clearly meets and exemplifies the definition of a Community of Interest under the Fair Maps Act— a population with shared social and economic interests that benefits from being represented together for purposes of effective and fair political representation. For these reasons, Oldtown East must be kept whole within a single city council district.
Seafoam/ “ Lonoke” The Lonoke neighborhood is a clearly defined, densely populated residential area, roughly bounded by Monterey Road, 1st Street, Wren Avenue, and Cohansey Avenue. The neighborhood is compact, contiguous, and defined by shared infrastructure, housing patterns, and community assets ( or lack thereof).
This area is one of the most densely populated parts of Gilroy, with a concentration of housing types that includes late 20th- century singlefamily homes, small multi-family dwellings, and a few large apartment complexes— most notably the one on Cohansey Avenue. The neighborhood’ s residential character is shaped by a consistent housing pattern, where nearly every home has a front-facing garage, although many of these have been visibly converted into accessory dwelling units ADUs) or “ granny units.” This points to both a growing demand for multi-generational housing and a trend toward informal housing adaptation to meet family or affordability needs.
The central organizing feature of the neighborhood is Las Animas Park, one of Gilroy’ s largest and most heavily used public parks. The park serves as a gathering place for local residents of all ages. It provides essential green space in a densely built environment and is frequently used. The presence of this park gives the neighborhood a unifying landmark and a shared resource that is vital to its residents.
While the area is primarily residential, it is framed by commercial corridors along 1st Street, Monterey Road, and Wren Avenue.
Walkability within the neighborhood varies— residents living south of Las Animas Park enjoy higher walk scores due to proximity to shops and services on 1st Street, while areas north of the park are more cardependent, with fewer nearby commercial uses. Overall, the neighborhood is more auto-oriented than Gilroy’ s Oldtown neighborhoods, as evidenced by the prevalence of street and driveway parking and the general layout of homes and streets.
Lonoke is also notable for what it lacks: it does not contain any public elementary or middle school within its boundaries. Two schools that
6 | P a g e
once served the area were closed— one due to low enrollment, and another due to its proximity to the California National Guard Armory, which also functions as a shelter for unhoused individuals. One of the former school sites has since been converted into Gilroy’ s third public preschool, alongside the two located in Oldtown East and West. The other has been redeveloped into single- family housing, further increasing residential density. There is one private K-8 school on the southern edge of the nieghborhood - St Mary Church. The neighborhood contains three churches, which is less than what we see in Oldtown, but still more than some of the more suburban areas to the west.
The neighborhood is majority Hispanic— approximately 65%— and shares common challenges related to density, traffic, infrastructure, and access to public services. Although it may lack traditional civic institutions, these shared conditions— along with the centrality of Las Animas Park and the presence of high-density residential development— give the area a distinct identity and a shared set of needs.
These needs include improved civic infrastructure, access to schools, and safe pedestrian connections— needs that would benefit from focused advocacy and representation.
In summary, the Lonoke neighborhood represents a concentrated, clearly bounded residential community with high density, common housing patterns, a shared community space in Las Animas Park, and a unified set of concerns tied to infrastructure and livability. Under the Fair Maps Act, a Community of Interest is defined as a population with shared social or economic interests that benefit from being represented together. Lonoke meets that definition, and it should be kept whole within a single city council district to ensure its residents have effective and equitable representation.
Bright Green/
Sunrise”
This neighborhood is one of the newer communities in Gilroy, defined primarily by single- family residential development with a few community- serving amenities. It is roughly bounded by Kern Avenue, Mantelli Drive, Rancho Hills Drive, and Day Road. The area is cohesive, family- oriented, and shaped by consistent land use and shared infrastructure.
The neighborhood is composed almost entirely of single- family homes built within the past 40 years, creating a sense of continuity and a shared lifestyle choices among residents. It includes two neighborhood parks, a public elementary school, a private elementary school ( Pacific Point Christian), a public high school, and a church— all of which serve as important social and community anchors.
The neighborhood does not have any commercial corridors like other parts of Gilroy, it functions as a self-contained residential enclave—
7 | P a g e
something many families actively seek out in choosing a home. It embodies the qualities of a “ quiet neighborhood,” with local amenities centered on schools, parks, and family life.
Demographically and economically, the neighborhood tends to be more uniform than older parts of the city, with a strong focus on families, homeownership, and school- based activities. Its infrastructure, traffic patterns, and planning needs are also distinct— particularly as a commuter- oriented community, with many residents traveling north to work in Silicon Valley and surrounding areas.
In summary, this neighborhood represents a cohesive, family- focused residential community that shares a common housing stock, infrastructure, and community identity. Under the Fair Maps Act, a Community of Interest is defined as a population with shared social and economic interests that should be kept together for purposes of effective representation. This neighborhood meets that definition, and it should be kept intact within a single city council district to ensure that it is represented by someone who understands the needs and priorities of a quiet, residential neighborhood.
Magenta/ “ Westwood” This community is similar in character to Lonoke - not quite a fully residential " quiet community" like those futher to the west, but not quite an urban/ mixed- use neighborhood either. Although it does have a public elementary school within it's boundaries.
Purple/ “ West
Foothills”
This is one of the least densely populated areas of Gilroy, defined by large residential lots, open space, and recreational institutions. It is largely made up of hillside neighborhoods. The area is characterized by a significant amount of open space, low-density development, and a rural-to-suburban feel that distinguishes it from the rest of the city.
Many of the homes in this area are large, single- family residences on expansive lots, often located along winding hillside roads. The neighborhood includes recreational and social institutions such as Eagle Ridge Golf Club, Gilroy Golf Course, the Elks Lodge, and Gilroy Gardens.
The community shares common concerns and planning needs related to hillside preservation, fire safety, open space protection, and infrastructure for large- lot residential areas. Residents also tend to rely more heavily on personal vehicles for access to city services, and many commute long distances to work. These patterns create a distinct set of priorities that differ from denser, more urban parts of Gilroy.
Although more spread out, this area shares a cohesive identity centered on rural character, open space, and a quieter, more natural living environment. It also includes key public assets— like Gilroy Gardens— that contribute to both the neighborhood' s character and the city’s broader cultural and recreational offerings.
8 | P a g e
In summary, this neighborhood represents a geographically distinct, low-density community with shared land use, infrastructure needs, and planning priorities.
Teal/ “ The East Cut” Area- wise the majority of this district covers the vast eastern portion of the city that is dominated by commercial space and so has a very sparce population.
There is only one moderately sized, but isolated population center north of Leavesley with approximately 600 residents. The rest are spread throughout a largely commercial and rural area.
Although the area has distinct character, the extreme low density almost definitely ensures it will need to be incorporated into other districts to meet population differential maximums set by the state.
Lilac/ “ The South
Cut”
A broad range of housing types from the large Alexander St apartments, to tall the newer single family homes to the west of monterey. This area includes the park side of christmas hill park, gilroy high school, and is directly adjacent to the gilroy sports park.

Subject: EXTERNAL - 8.1. Third Public Hearing Regarding the City"s Transition from an AtLarge to a District-Based Elections System
Date: Monday, April 7, 2025 3:09:04 PM
Dear Mayor Bozzo and City Council Members,
I look forward to hearing more about the transition to district elections. I am writing in support of the proposed district map, JH05 ( 289301), and JH07 ( 290309) as the second choice. After reviewing the maps, I strongly believe that both accurately reflect the diverse communities of interest within our city, and that adopting this map would serve the best interests of all Gilroy residents.
Gilroy is a city rich in diversity, and it is essential that its districts are drawn in a way that ensures representation for all segments of our community. The JH05 and JH07 maps thoughtfully consider the various neighborhoods and socio- economic factors that shape the lives of residents. It creates districts that are not only geographically cohesive but also reflect common concerns, needs, and interests within each area. This will ensure that each district is represented by someone who understands the unique challenges and opportunities of that specific community.
One of the key benefits of district elections is that they provide more localized and focused representation. By adopting JH05 ( preferred or JH07), residents in each district will have a direct and accessible voice in city governance, making it more likely that their concerns will be addressed in a meaningful way. The maps' design also promotes fair and equitable representation, ensuring that all neighborhoods are given the opportunity to elect a representative who is attuned to their specific needs.
In conclusion, I fully support the adoption of district map JH05 ( or JH07 as a second choice) for Gilroy’ s transition to district elections. Each map reflects our city's diverse communities, promotes fair representation, and helps ensure that the voices of all residents are heard and valued. I urge you to adopt one of the two maps and take this important step toward a more inclusive and effective local government.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Armando Benavides

Hello,
I am writing to support these two district maps listed: ID 289301 "JH05" OR ID 290309 JH07"
These two district maps well represent the diverse Gilroy community in the most equitable manner and are legally compliant. These two maps also align well with Gilroy USD student district mapping. Furthermore, these two maps passed all legal criteria under the Fair Maps Act and the California Voting Rights Act.
We look forward to Gilroy City adopting one of these two maps so the diversity of the city constituents is not only celebrated but critically represented equitably with the city council.

Community of Interest Form
Help shape the future of the City of Gilroy’ s City Council Districts The City of Gilroy has begun the process of transitioning to district elections. The U.S.
Census data will be used to balance the population of each City Council District.
One of the primary goals of this process is to keep communities together within each district. Complete this form to tell the City about your community of interest.
What is a Community of Interest?
A Community of Interest is a group of people in the same geographically definable area who share common social and economic interests. Some examples of Communities of Interest are:
Senior citizens
College students living near campus
People who live downtown or in a neighborhood
Dog park community
Residents who share a common language
People that use the same transportation systems
What criteria will help the City Council understand the importance of your community in the redistricting process?
When documenting your community, it is important to address the following questions to assist the City Council in the redistricting process:
1. Does your community have a shared culture, characteristics, or bond?
2. Is your community geographic in nature? Is your community able to be mapped? Is there density within your community?
3. Describe your community’ s relationship with the City and how it is affected by policy decisions made by the City Council.
The public can submit any testimony, but it is important to remember that your input can be best used if it addresses all three of these questions.
What You Can Do to Further Participate in the Redistricting Process
1. Provide your comments on your community of interest by completing this online form and clicking "submit."
2. Paper forms can be returned by email to [email protected] or drop off a hard copy to Gilroy City Hall, C/O City Clerk’ s Office ( 7351 Rosanna Street). A PDF version of this form is available at the link below.
3. Attend one of the Gilroy City Council public meetings, times and locations are available at www.cityofgilroy.org/districting.

Subject: EXTERNAL - Adopt District Mayo JH05
Date: Monday, April 7, 2025 11: 03: 01 AM
Dear Mayor & City Council members,
I would like you to adopt Map number JH05. I am a home owner & have lived in Gilroy for 31 years, my neighborhood is in the Kern/Welburn area, near Rod Kelley School on the blue portion on JHO5 map. My second choice is JHO7, which is very similar.
My immediate neighborhood is connected in many ways, in this area residents have been here for 20-40 years, many are original home owners such as myself. We were involved in a Neighborhood Watch Program, we keep our area informed & we take care of each other. We would not want to be separated, we are a ‘ Community’ within Gilroy.
In my extended neighborhood of the Blue area on Map JH05, we use the same neighborhood parks, we frequent shopping on First Street & we send our children to the same elementary school, Rod Kelley. We have neighborhood yard sales & 4th of July picnics. We share many of the same interests including our poorly maintained streets.
Lastly, regardless of the above request, please do not include our area in the Northwest area/ quadrant, the yellow area on this map west of Santa Teresa. We are mostly working class or retired residents with older homes & our income level is less than residents in the NW area.
We are very different.
We need to be represented by someone who has the same interests & understands our unique needs for fair representation.
Thank you,
Rebecca Scheel

April 7, 2025
To whom it may concern,
I am writing this letter in support of district based elections in the City of Gilroy. As a lifelong Gilroy resident ( 47 years) and an advocate who works directly with the community on a daily basis I have seen first hand the inequity that is visible in our City currently. When looking at housing allocations and available spaces for affordable housing the map looks very segregated. We have the opportunity and responsibility to take action to improve our City, our services, and our communities by taking any action available to us.
District based elections are one of the proven ways that we can improve access and equity within our community.
The map I support is Map JH05 I support this map due to the fact that it balances the need for representation for our largely hispanic population in equitable and balanced ways. Although Gilroy is a diverse town with a large Hispancic population this is not reflected in the composition of our City Council. It is imperative to include people who are most affected and impacted by policies in the decision making.
Thank you for your representation and attention to this matter, Vanessa Ashford

The tool works well for drawing the maps, but not so well for managing the maps that are drawn.
Maps should not be eligible for consideration by other than the author until they are in the "Public Gallery". "Works in progress" are just that, works in progress (i.e. Drafts), and should be private to the author.
The maps I want deleted are "Works in progress" maps, not "Public Gallery" maps. Until I post a draft to the "Public Gallery", I should be able to modify or delete it. If I start with a Draft and then post it to Public, the corresponding Draft should be removed from "Works in progress".
Apparently, the "Team or Plan" name is only an informational item, not key to identifying a map. "Works in progress" maps should replace the last copy each time they are saved as a "Work in progress", not generate a new "ID". If versioning (new ID) of drafts is desirable, that should be an option each time the map is saved.
I did not intend for my "Works in progress" to be updatable by anyone but me. I'm also not sure that I intended them to be viewable by anyone but me. ===
I think the instructions should be clearer about the 3 states of a map:
1. Saved - not in "Works in progress" or "Public Gallery" - not displayed anywhere else in the tool - accessible only via the URL provided with the Save action - if you don't save the URL somewhere you can't get back to your map - anyone with the URL can access your map - a new Save will generate a new ID
2. Saved and shared in the "Public Gallery" - I should not be able to update or delete my maps
3. Saved as a "Work in progress" - I should be able to update or delete my maps - this choice has no value to me if I cannot use it as a sandbox for my maps When I read this, I did not intend to share my plan, so I did not save the link. I chose "Work in progress" and provided a "Plan" name. Imagine my surprise when I saw how the tool was actually working., that "Work in progress" is a shared category and is not a sandbox for drafts.
That is not intuitively obvious. I did not realize that I should have stopped with the Save action, copied the URL, exited the popup window without taking any other action.
Maps do not appear to be tied to a userid as no userid was required to access the tool. I don't see how the tool is able to claim that "Even if you share the link, nobody buy you can change

The tool is behaving as though every change is by an "other person". Is there possible a login feature that you have not enabled yet?
I think that the District-based Elections web page needs to add some information on how the tool works.

7 - Exceed the 10% requirement
3 - Ok
Of mine...
1 - Exceeds the 10% requirement

I really like the "Draft Map D JH05 Overlay", could the same be done for Drafts A, B, and C, and any other new drafts that are produced?
The Overlay lets the public see what changes were made (if any) between the original submission and the draft.

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item Title: Food Truck Ordinance Update
Meeting Date: May 5, 2025
From: Jimmy Forbis, City Administrator
Department: Administration
Submitted by: Victoria Valencia, Economic Development Manager Prepared by: Victoria Valencia, Economic Development Manager STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS: Promote Economic Development Activities
RECOMMENDATION
1. Receive the report, review the proposed amendments to Chapter 16A Article II, and provide direction.
2. Adopt a resolution for a pilot program allowing food trucks to operate in specified downtown zones (Fifth Street Lot, portions of Eigleberry Street, and/or designated parking lots adjacent to Gourmet Alley), subject to the regulations identified herein.
BACKGROUND
At the December 4, 2023 City Council Meeting, the Council directed staff to review ordinances and regulations for food trucks in neighboring cities and examine flexible location options. (This work was paused while the City updated its' mobile vending ordinance).
At the August 19, 2024 City Council Meeting, the Council further directed staff to explore designated locations in the downtown area for food trucks to operate and to solicit feedback from local businesses potentially impacted by disallowing food trucks on Monterey Road. Two primary locations were identified:
• City-owned parking lot at 5th and Monterey(5th Street Lot) • Street parking along Eigleberry Street
ANALYSIS
Ordinance Review and Updates:
Currently, Gilroy City Code Chapter 16A Article II governs mobile vending (including food trucks) and requires vendors to move at least 100 feet every 10 minutes, while also prohibiting such operations in the C1, C2, and C3 commercial zoning districts. The ordinance defines a “mobile vending facility” broadly to include any container, cart, stand, vehicle, or wagon displaying or selling food, goods, or services.
In reviewing these regulations, staff identified inconsistencies between local definitions in Chapter 16A and 16B and determined that further updates would be needed to align with the California Retail Code. Zoning codes referenced in the current ordinance are outdated and should be updated to reflect existing codes.
1. Inconsistent Definitions
• Chapter 16B defines “mobile vendor” as a motorized mobile vending vehicle operator (requiring a driver’s license).
• Chapter 16A defines a “mobile vending facility” more broadly to include carts, stands, and any nonmotorized or motorized apparatus.
• California Retail Code (CRC) defines a “mobile food facility” as a truck, trailer, or other wheeled equipment from which food is sold, and a “compact mobile food operation” as a pushcart, stand, wagon, or other nonmotorized device used for vending.
To address these discrepancies, staff recommends adopting standardized language from the California Retail Code and clarifying the type of mobile vendor permits that may be required, based on a vendor's location.
2. Updated Zoning Code References and Timing
The current ordinance references outdated C1, C2, and C3 zones. Staff proposes modernizing these references to reflect Gilroy’s existing zoning codes accurately.
Vendors are required to move at least 100 feet every 10 minutes. This time limit is typical for ice cream trucks but may not be feasible for food trucks with more elaborate food service, or trucks providing health services. The County of Santa Clara Health Department requires mobile food facilities operating longer than one hour to have readily available restrooms and a handwashing sink within 200 feet of the food truck.
Council could consider updating the time limit or creating a tiered framework, similar to the City of Hollister, which has three levels of permits with different time requirements.
The City of Hollister's guidelines are included in the packet.
3. Improved Permit Framework
Under the proposed amendments, in addition to a City of Gilroy Business license and any other permits required by the County, State or other government agency, mobile vendors (excluding sidewalk vendors already permitted under Chapter 16B) would be required to obtain:
1. Identity Permit (one to three weeks to process, $158 for initial application, $82 for renewal)
o Confirms the operator’s identity and background.
o Background Check and Livescan may be required, and additional fees apply.
o Exclusion applies if the operator is a Gilroy resident of at least five (5) years and owns a permanent business facility in the city.
2. Mobile Vending Permit (issued by the City Administrator or designee) o The primary license for operating a mobile vending facility in the city.
3. Temporary Vending Permit (issued by the Community Development Director or designee)
o Required for any vendor operating on private property.
Food trucks may also be required to have an annual fire inspection. Fees will be established in the updated fee schedule.
Mobile Vendors in Downtown
Staff evaluated specific zones in the downtown area (outside of Monterey Road) where Council could consider allowing food trucks to operate:
• 5
th Street Lot
o Could be designated for food truck parking only during certain times (commonly Friday and Saturday evenings from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.). o Requires signage and closure of the left turn lane to safely accommodate trucks.
o Would trigger the need for readily available restrooms (portable or otherwise) within 200 feet, in accordance with Santa Clara County Environmental Health regulations, if a truck remains more than one hour. • Eigleberry Street
o Parallel curb parking is available, but the size of some food trucks could pose safety hazards for pedestrians and vehicles.
o Council may choose to allow food trucks by right on Eigleberry (with no special signage) or direct staff not to pursue this option further.
• Gourmet Alley & Adjacent Parking Lots (Downtown Committee Recommendations)
o The Downtown Committee suggested using the alley between 4th and 6th Streets for food trucks, limiting the total number, recovering all City costs via fees, requiring internal generators, and enforcing rules through shiftbased Code Enforcement. o Staff Recommendation: Avoid placing trucks directly in the alley to maintain its pedestrian-friendly character and outdoor dining opportunities. o Two parking lots adjoining Gourmet Alley (between 4th and 6th) each have several potential spots for designated food truck parking. This would have minimal impact on traffic flow and maintain a safe environment for pedestrians.
o Food Trucks could be allowed to operate on private property along Gourmet Alley with a Temporary Vending Permit.
Based on the draft revised ordinance (attached), food trucks would not be allowed to operate in Downtown without a resolution by the City Council. In addition, Council may consider directing staff to develop a program to coordinate scheduling mobile vendors and booking locations, consider contracting with an external organization to manage coordination, or allowing food trucks to utilize designated spaces on a first-come, firstserved basis.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Take no action, maintaining the current code and time limits with no exceptions for food trucks operating in downtown.
2. Consider revisions to Chapter 16 A Article II, and not create a special provision for food trucks in downtown.
3. Adopt a temporary, time-limited pilot program for certain downtown locations.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
No fiscal impact at this time. However, depending on Council direction, there may be administrative costs to process permits, enforce regulations, and post appropriate signage or infrastructure in designated zones. Should the City contract with a third party to manage scheduling food trucks in designated zones, that arrangement would have associated costs or fees as well. Staff will finalize fee schedules and potential offsets once the ordinance is refined, prior to Council adoption.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
Over the last two years, staff has met with downtown breweries and taprooms that would be most impacted by a change to the mobile vendor ordinance, as well as with community partners and organizations who often invite food trucks to downtown.
NEXT STEPS
1. Ordinance Finalization: Staff will integrate Council and community feedback into a final draft of Chapter 16A amendments.
2. Public Hearing & Adoption: Staff will present the refined ordinance and any related resolutions for public hearing and final Council approval.
3. Downtown Resolution: If Council chooses to allow food trucks in designated zones, a resolution should be adopted specifying approved locations, times, and corresponding requirements.

Commented [VV1]: Thoughts to simplify: label
all-either public or private and Itinerant merchants.
First section would define types of merchants and
permits. Next part would lay out types of permits
and when/where they are required. Ex: itinerant
merchants, excluding sidewalk vendors approved
to operate and regulated by Chapter 16B, are
required to obtain identity permits. Vendors
operating on private sidewalks(not parking lots) are
required to obtain a Temporary Vending Permit.
Commented [VV2]: @Melissa Durkin does
sidewalk vending need to be included here if it is
defined in 16b?
Commented [MD3R2]: If it's already included
in 16B, I don't think you need to include it here.
I would like to see a version of this without "track
changes" so we can see how it all lays out. We
might need to make adjustments after that.
Commented [VV4R2]: Click on the review
button at the top of word, where it says "all mark
up", change to "no markup". This will also hide the
comments.
