This Information Bulletin (IB) describes requirements for Wireless Communication Facilities (WCFs) citywide. The proposed location and physical characteristics of a WCF determine the required permit(s) and process level as described in the WCF Regulations, Land Development Code (LDC) Section 141.0420, and in conjunction with the “Use Regulation Tables” in Chapter 13 of the LDC. 

Council Policy 600-43 identifies the most and least preferable areas for locating WCFs, which are reflected in the permit requirements listed in Section 141.0420. That section also lists design requirements for WCFs. The WCF Guidelines describe the design and processing recommendations the City has instituted to implement WCF policies and regulations.

City Property: For projects on city property (except for Small Cell projects within the public right of way) contact the Real Estate Assets Department at 619-236-6020 to arrange a pre-application site walk. Following the site walk, READ will provide a copy of the standard lease which must be signed by the applicant and submitted to the Development Services Department (DSD) along with the submittal requirements associated with the project type.

For Small Cell-Wireless Communication Facilities (SC-WCFs) please see IB-545.

I. What is a WCF?

A WCF is the antennas, support structures, and other equipment or apparatus necessary for providing personal wireless services and information services (LDC Section 113.0103). Satellite antennas and television broadcast towers are not defined as WCFs. Refer to LDC Section 141.0405 for more information. The LDC requires that WCFs use all reasonable means to conceal or minimize their visual impacts through integration. Integration with existing structures or among other existing uses shall be accomplished through the use of architecture, landscape architecture, and siting solutions (LDC Section 141.0420).

II. Submittal Instructions

All forms, documents and applications are now submitted electronically. Visit the Development Services Department website at  sandiego.gov/DSD to create an account and begin the submittal process. A detailed User Guide is also available.

III. Review Process

WCF permit applications must be submitted for review. 

All applications must include a completed and signed WCF Supplemental Application and Checklist (DS-420), which clearly identifies the Shot Clock under which the applicant is requesting processing and which has a checklist confirming the presence of all required documents outlined in this Information Bulletin. If the City determines that a different shot clock applies, the applicant will be informed during the review. Applicable shot clocks are tolled while the City waits for resubmittal.

1. Spectrum Act

The federal Spectrum Act (also referred to as “Section 6409(a) of the Middle-Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 [47 U.S.C. 1455]”) states that the City “may not deny, and shall approve, any eligible facilities request for a modification of an existing wireless tower or base station that does not substantially change the physical dimensions of such tower or base station.”

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) provides Spectrum Act guidance in FCC Report and Order 14-153, which outlines a 60-day shot clock for eligible facilities requests. Applicants must submit information for the City to evaluate whether the application qualifies as an eligible facilities request, as detailed herein. This includes projects in the public right-of-way processed with a Right-of-Way Permit.

Spectrum Act projects are Process One approvals. They are submitted as Express Plan Checks managed by Development Project Managers. Spectrum Act projects are subject to fees associated with these services as identified in IB-501. If the applicant requests processing under the Spectrum Act, but the City determines that the application is not eligible, the application will be denied without a refund and the applicant will be required to submit a new application for the appropriate type of permit.

The City of San Diego reserves the right to rescind any approval made under Section 6409(a) of the Spectrum Act should any portion of Section 6409(a) of the Spectrum Act, or the FCC’s interpretation thereof, be deemed unconstitutional by a court of law, the FCC or any other competent authority. For more information on Spectrum Act processing, see the WCF Guidelines. The Spectrum Act may also apply to facilities that are not considered WCFs, such as television and radio broadcast antennas. Contact Telecom Review staff for advice on how to submit such applications.

2. WCF Applications Not Covered by the Spectrum Act

As with the Spectrum Act, shot clocks imposed by the federal government limit the amount of time the City may use to process WCF projects. However, non-Spectrum Act shot clocks do not require the City to approve an application, only to act on it.

To comply with federal shot clocks, non-Spectrum Act applications must process zoning approvals (Limited Use, SCR, or discretionary) and construction permits (Building Permit, Right-of-way Permit, and related) concurrently, with all associated fees. If the concurrent submittal is not made, the City cannot meet shot clock requirements, and the shot clock must be tolled. Submitting a zoning approval without concurrently processing a construction permit constitutes acceptance of this fact. Projects that toll the shot clock will still be processed diligently.

Shot clock time limits are short. If a project is not tolled, it is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure that the City receives all required information in a timely manner. To aid the City in meeting the shot clock, WCF applications must resolve all issues in the second review cycle. If they do not, the application will be considered incomplete, resulting in de facto denial on Process One and Two projects, and a de facto recommendation of denial on Process Three, Four, and Five projects. This de facto denial may be avoided by choosing to toll.

3. Process Three, Four and Five Projects that Do Not Toll the Shot Clock

To facilitate shot clock compliance, allowing time for scheduling hearings and/or preparing approval documents, a hearing date will be scheduled when the applicant submits for a second review cycle.

If necessary, Process Three, Four, and Five projects may also be scheduled for a meeting with reviewing staff after the first review cycle to ensure that issues can be addressed in the next review cycle. Should issues remain after the second review, the applicant may either: 1) elect to proceed to the hearing with a recommendation for denial from staff, 2) voluntarily enter into a tolling agreement and continue to work with staff to resolve the issues, or 3) withdraw the application.

4. Preliminary Review

Because of the constraints imposed by federal shot clocks, the City STRONGLY recommends preliminary review for WCF applications. Preliminary Reviews are an optional, voluntary service for applicants that would like to submit questions and receive written comments from the City regarding how WCF regulations apply to the project. See IB-513, “Preliminary Review.”  Preliminary Reviews are not submissions of applications, and the written comments provided in response thereto are not notices of incompleteness.

IV. Submittal Requirements for Spectrum Act and Construction Permit Applications

Follow the Project Submittal Manual: Section 2 for Construction Permits—Structures or Section 3 Construction Permits—Grading Permits and Public Right of Way. In addition to the Project Submittal Manual requirements, provide one copy of each item listed below:
