Wireless-Telecommunications Equipment (Co-location) Review: Planning Objectives
FTC Unify SC1 located at 185 North College Ave, Parcel ID# 9711470003
My client, Verizon Wireless, wishes to submit an application for Wireless-Telecommunications
Equipment that will be located on top of a two-story building along College Avenue and in the heart of
Downtown Fort Collins. The installation of this new equipment will provide critical 4G-LTE voice and
data services to a location with increasingly higher pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
Specifically, my client proposes the installation of the following equipment:
• An Omni-directional antenna located inside a new square chimney structure. The total height of
the new chimney is 7’-6” above the existing roof height and shall be painted to match the color
of the main building.
• Remote Radio Heads (RRHs) and an Over-Voltage Protection Units (OVPs) placed behind the
building’s existing parapet wall. The RRHs are meant to limit line loss to the radio equipment,
while the OVP is installed to protect the rooftop equipment from electrical surges. This
equipment will not be visible from public view.
• Ladders to access the first and second floor rooftop of the building.
• A Fiber Vault located near the property line in the northwest corner of the property.
• Cabling from utility sources to rooftop equipment within new cable trays.
In accordance with the Communications and Technology section of the City Comprehensive Plan, this
new wireless equipment will provide citizens access to high-quality wireless service in a part of
downtown that faces significant capacity demands. Access to this improved service will continue to be
a critical component for community interactions as well as economic growth now that 4G-LTE has
become widely utilized.
Furthermore, this design carefully took into consideration and meets the standards as outlined in
Paragraph C, Subsections 3, 8, and 15 in Chapter 3.8.13 of the Municipal Code. Please let me know if
there is anything else I can provide you with to aid in the review of this project. I look forward to
working with your department as Verizon Wireless continues to invest in reliable, fast, and strong
wireless services in the City of Fort Collins.
