In response to Corporation Counsel's advice, the Planning Department is \ <br /> transitioning the approval process for telecommunication facilities from a Use <br /> Permit issued by the Planning Commission in a public forum to a Plan Approval <br /> issued by the Planning Director. We have drafted this bill to incorporate the <br /> most common feedback heard over the past 28 years including: <br /> • Visual impacts, with measures to mitigate where possible; <br /> • Proper setbacks and siting; and <br /> Health concerns, recognizing that federal law prohibits the County from <br /> denying a telecommunications tower permit based on health concerns. <br /> Additionally, the bill incorporates new standards that were created from <br /> - standard conditions from prior Use Permits that were issued by the Planning <br /> Commission as well as other best management practices. <br />
