the equipment be in the vertical
portion to preserve views.
Concealment And Shrouding
• All facilities, new or replacement ,
should conceal all related wireless
equipment within the pole, or must
be buried below grade in vaults.
• Panel/prismatic antennas whose
proper function prevents them from
being fully enclosed within an
enclosure shall be considered
enclosed if their installation is
substantially within the pole
boundary.
• No above-ground ancillary facilities
such as pedestals and cabinets
separate from the pole will be
allowed.
• No secondary attachments unrelated
to Xcel power metering and
distribution are allowed
Elements Of Design
• The color standard is brown for
commercial areas, green for
residential areas, and silver at
The Landmark.
• The standard pole shape throughout
Greenwood Village is round.
INSTALLATIONS
The Village has identified three (3)

different types of small cell
installations permitted within the City.
These types include: (1) replacement
of existing traffic signals; (2) new
multi-purpose streetlights; and (3) new
freestanding poles. Regardless of the
type of installation, all small cell
installations within the Village shall be
fully concealed, either within the pole
for above ground installation, or in

vaults for below ground installations.
Secondary attachments are not
permitted. The guidelines also require
co-locating equipment and carriers
onto existing infrastructure when
feasible to minimize congestion of the
public right-of-way.
POLE TYPES
In commercial areas, the Village
requires round, full concealment poles
that serve both as streetlights and small
cell installations. Within residential
areas, the Village requires a pole
concealment system.
HEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Small cell facilities will be 30 feet in
residential areas and 40 feet in
commercial areas.
PLACEMENT
• In a manner that does not impede,
obstruct, or hinder pedestrian or
vehicular travel.
• So as not to be located along the
frontage of a Historic building,
deemed historic on a federal, state, or
local level.
• So as not to significantly create a
new obstruction to property sight
lines.
• At the intersection of property lines,
or along secondary property street
facing.
