Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously postponed a decision on T-Mobile's appeal of a cell tower antenna approval until July 11. T-Mobile had asked the council to overturn the Planning Commission's approval of modifications to their antenna system at 5220 Central Avenue, but the council chose to delay the decision instead of ruling immediately. This gives T-Mobile more time to work with the building owner and other wireless carriers to address concerns about how the antennas would be screened from public view. The delay means residents near the Central Avenue site will have to wait longer to know whether the antenna modifications will proceed as originally approved.
