SUMMARY:
The applicant requests approval to upgrade existing wireless telecommunications equipment

upgrades would occur in an area of the roof that currently contains wireless telecommunication
and mechanical equipment. New equipment is proposed, and all proposed equipment will be
confined to the currently leased area. All proposed equipment complies with the applicable review
criteria in the code.

equipment must comply with a number of review standards. The proposed upgrades to the existing
telecommunication equipment comply with all applicable review criteria of the Land Use Code.
The proposed upgrades to existing wireless equipment will continue to use areas on the roof and
within the building that have traditionally been used for wireless telecommunication and
