Why This Vote Matters
T-Mobile will not be allowed to install a small cell tower at 2732 Downer Avenue after the council upheld an appeal of the planning department's approval. The council voted 5-0 to deny T-Mobile's application, with Councilmembers Bates and Myrick abstaining from the vote. This decision overturns the planning department's earlier approval and blocks the telecommunications infrastructure project. The abstentions by Bates and Myrick were notable departures from their typical voting patterns on zoning matters, where both usually vote to approve such applications.
