VILLAGE OF KEY BISCAYNE UNDERGROUNDING OF UTILITIES — MASTER PLAN
Kimley-Horn reviewed the Village’s Code of Ordinances related to
Communication Towers and noted that towers are a permitted use on:
 all Village-owned property
 GU; Government Use District and within the Village’s RM-30
 High Density Multiple Family District
 HR; Hotel Resort District
 PUD; Planned Unit Development Districts, provided approval is
granted by the Village Council.
This excludes many of the residential zoning districts in Village where
Smart Pole technology could be deployed.
Kimley-Horn’s recommendation is the Village review the zoning code and
consider modifications to regulations for a Smart Pole DAS/WiFi network
deployment throughout the Village. This could include specific regulations
for permitted locations, aesthetics, height restrictions, etc. This would
provide better guidance to the cellular industry regarding how they could
successfully deploy such a network within the Village. It may also support
and expand opportunities for public-private partnerships (PPP) between
the Village and providers interested in providing wired and wireless
broadband services in the Village.
Kimley-Horn further recommends that any costs related to deployment of
a Smart Pole DAS network be borne completely by the cellular industry
and/or broadband providers. It is also recommended the Village only
install Smart Poles in conjunction with their street lighting program if a
wireless industry partner identifies
the exact location of where the
poles should be installed along
with the capital to perform such
installation. The Village should
not undertake Smart Pole
installation without a wireless
industry partner because the
individual wireless carrier desired
locations, equipment, and height
requirements are highly variable
and specific, and cannot be
