Can the City favor one location in the community for facilities over another? The City may established preferences and make it easier to deploy in those locations.The City may also require applicants who propose less-preferred locations to demonstrate why more preferred locations are not technically feasible. However, the City cannot generally prohibit these facilities in broad areas (such as residential neighborhoods) and cannot force carriers to use property owned by one specific person or entity. Is there a limit to the number of cell facilities in Pleasanton? Cities cannot deny a carrier the ability to provide service either through explicit or implicit prohibitions (e.g., banning new wireless facilities or establishing a maximum cap). Has the FCC's new order been challenged? A number of lawsuits have been filed challenging the order and seeking a stay of its effective date until the litigation is resolved. In the meantime, the City will continue to review applications consistent with its Wireless Ordinance and existing federal law. In addition to the FCC Order, cities in California are also keeping an eye on a case pending in the California Supreme Court. In that case (T-Mobile West v. City and County of San Francisco), the court will decide whether San Francisco's ordinance regulating wireless installations in the public right of way based on aesthetics is preempted by state law.The court will likely rule in this case during the first half of 2019.
