Wireless Application Reviews

CityScape offers unparalleled experience in representing local governments and providing unbiased, expert technical review of wireless communications applications. Each application is carefully evaluated by our staff to ensure compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations. Submittals are thoroughly reviewed for data accuracy, technical discrepancies, potential conflicts, and public safety impacts.

As wireless regulations continue to evolve, particularly with the increased 5G deployment, CityScape works closely with municipal staff to ensure adherence to legally mandated review timelines. We recognize the critical importance of meeting these deadlines while maintaining a comprehensive and objective evaluation process.

Our technical reports deliver clear, timely, and impartial analysis of each application, with practical recommendations and proposed resolutions when appropriate. CityScape also offers expert testimony to support municipalities during public hearings, ensuring that decisions are well-informed and defensible.

Leasing and Site Administration

Leasing public property for wireless infrastructure development offers a valuable opportunity for municipalities to generate alternative revenue streams that support local government operations. Beyond financial benefits, acting as a landlord gives the community greater control over aesthetics and infrastructure design, often achieving higher standards than those possible through regulation alone.

CityScape’s leasing program is designed to simplify and streamline the process of leasing and developing public property for wireless use. While not all wireless facilities can be sited on public land, we work diligently to evaluate and identify optimal locations that align with both community priorities and industry needs. Our extensive knowledge of wireless deployment strategies allows us to translate those objectives into long-term value and recurring revenue for our clients.

A core goal of our leasing approach is to ensure that each facility is designed to support maximum collocation potential, accommodating multiple wireless service providers whenever feasible. This reduces the overall number of towers or support structures required within the community, while increasing revenue potential from shared infrastructure.

CityScape’s experienced tower administrators work directly with municipal staff to ensure each lease reflects the highest possible value, accounting for future upgrades and anticipated modifications. Our objective is to secure financially advantageous, future-ready agreements that benefit the community both immediately and over the long term.

Ordinance Review and Recommendations

The wireless regulatory environment is constantly evolving. Our regulatory team actively monitors and analyzes the latest changes to FCC orders, congressional legislation, and state and local laws. With the volume of information and frequent updates, it is essential to ensure that your community’s wireless regulations are properly structured and up to date.

Our proposed amendments are designed to improve the overall effectiveness of local regulations by enhancing planning staff efficiency, streamlining permit processing, and providing clear direction for elected officials. The revisions also support the orderly deployment of wireless networks, incorporate strategies to improve visual aesthetics, and help prevent future infrastructure from negatively impacting the community.

Every set of recommendations we provide is tailored specifically to your community. We also offer assistance with presentations and public meetings to support the successful adoption of new or updated regulations.

Wireless Infrastructure Assessments – Database Inventory

Many communities are often unaware of the number and location of wireless infrastructure facilities within their jurisdiction. CityScape can conduct a comprehensive assessment by visiting each site to collect valuable data on existing installations and deployment patterns.

This information is used to create detailed inventory catalogs, maps, and GIS layers, forming a reliable baseline for application review and long-term wireless planning. Maintaining a current inventory of all wireless facilities in and around your community is a proactive step toward effectively managing and planning for future infrastructure needs.

Wireless Master Plan

CityScape has been developing Wireless Master Plans for local governments since 1997 to help address public concerns about preserving community aesthetics. We’ve found that while residents want reliable wireless service, they don’t necessarily want infrastructure installed on every corner.

With the advent of 5G technology, a Wireless Master Plan is an essential tool for managing wireless infrastructure in a thoughtful and strategic way. This comprehensive study, developed by our team of professionals, assesses, maps, and analyzes all existing wireless infrastructure within the community. Using industry-accepted RF network design standards, we produce predicted wireless propagation mapping that illustrates current wireless gaps in service.

Each customized plan assesses community characteristics, identifies industry trends, analyzes propagation data, and highlights areas where additional wireless service and infrastructure are needed.

Our unique master planning process integrates land-use planning strategies with a comprehensive review and update of existing local regulations. Updating your wireless code ensures compliance with federal and state mandates while also aligning with the goals identified in the Master Plan.

Throughout the process, we offer educational wireless workshops and work closely with your staff and elected officials to ensure a transparent and collaborative experience. The Wireless Master Plan empowers your community to take a proactive role in managing wireless telecommunications development.
