CHAPTER 6 INFRASTRUCTURE + SERVICES Telecommunications The City of San Leandro participates in a public/private partnership with LIT San Leandro to offer high speed internet and telecommunication to its local businesses. The Plan Area is situated along this fiber optic loop that runs through Hesperian Boulevard. The service is currently focused toward business connectivity; however, this Specific Plan incorporates medium to large multifamily residential complexes that can be structured as a community service district to offer the service to individual households. The City is currently developing a long- range Fiber Optics Master Plan to guide the expansion, development, and policies needed to build and sustain broadband, wireless and other "smart city' services. Through a Telecommunications Policies FIBER OPTIC. Develop a plan to expand current fiber optic networks throughout the Plan Area to attract new high-tech businesses and provide new hotel development with a significant amenity to business travelers. 2. LIT SAN LEANDRO. Leverage the City's partnership with LIT San Leandro to offer gigabit internet service to the businesses within the Plan Area. Identify the feasibility to provision the service to the residential community. 3. TELECOMMUNICATIONS. Require all new development projects to incorporate broadband infrastructure in their planning and construction. All development projects shall install telecommunications infrastructure in accordance with the City's Fiber Optics Master Plan currently in the planning stages, from the local carriers or LIT San Leandro. 4. CELLULAR TOWERS. Wireless facilities, including "macro" cellular towers, shall conform to the City's Wireless Telecommunication Ordinance that combination of public/private partnerships (i.e., Lit San Leandro), municipal networks (i.e., "SL WiFiber," which is the City's free, public Wi- Fi service), and services from private carriers (i.e., AT&T and Comcast), the City intends to sustain its leadership in broadband and innovation. The Plan Area is situated along the Lit San Leandro fiber optic loop that runs through East 14th Street and Hesperian Boulevard. The broadband internet focus is currently toward business connectivity; however, the Fiber Optics Master Plan will explore relevant models to ensure the delivery of reliable, affordable, high speed broadband services to new residential development areas such as the Plan Area. establishes guidelines for wireless facilities. The ordinance seeks to direct towers to non-residential areas, limit their total extent and reduce their visual impacts, and encourage the co -location of equipment on existing towers wherever possible. (Note: the trend is moving towards "small" cell installations, such as current 4G and 5G cellular networks designed for installation on public right- of-way, which the Fiber Optics Master Plan will address.) 5. INTERNET OF THINGS (IoT). Encourage network infrastructure on hardware and software levels that accept cyber-physical systems from smart -connected objects and infrastructure systems (energy, waste, water, mobility, etc) to create data -driven "Smart City" operations. Align with the City's developing Smart City and Telecommunications Plan, and leverage existing networks such as the 6LoWPAN network (simple, low throughput wireless network) deployed on city streetlight poles. 113
