Expand radius for analyzing alternative cell tower sites from 250 to 500 feet
Resolution 68-19
In Plain English
When telecom companies want to install small cell towers, the city requires them to prove no better locations exist nearby. The current policy only looks at sites within 250 feet of the proposed location. If approved, companies must analyze alternative sites within 500 feet, giving the city more options to direct towers away from sensitive areas.
