Sensible 5G Deployment for
Cupertino

5G Update
●Over 100 5G cell sites have been permitted since Oct. 2020
●They are allowed to be as close as 20 feet from residential structures
●Cells sites from different carriers have no minimum distance requirement currently
APRIL 20, 2021
5G Study Session
Cupertino citizens are alarmed
by carrier activities
Need to communicate to the residents about the full plan of action
-It is the carriers’ expectations that these tall 5G+4G combo cell
towers will go on top of all available light posts
-Some will be closer than 25 feet from our bedrooms or living rooms
Given 5G is a first time technology
- We should issue provisional permits
- We should pass ordinances to set minimum 100-300 ft from residences
Many CA cities (Los Altos, Mill Valley, Calabasas, Sonoma City, Petaluma, Encinitas) have more stringent
5G ordinances- why don’t we follow their lead?
Guide our City into the Future
with Sensible Leadership
City needs to inform all residents of the full picture of 5G deployment
●More proactive outreach to inform, educate and solicit input
●Utilize non-commercial zones as a priority
●Issue provisional permits which will be renewed as we learn more
about the technology and its impact
●Pass ordinances at least at par with the low end of what other
cities are doing
Done properly with the support of the residents, many of us welcome
5G to bring new and better wireless services to our community
Thank you!
