Subject:Oppose #8 The Planning Director submitted an Ordinance
Date:Tuesday, September 3, 2024 3:33:37 PM
I oppose item 8 because I support Council Member Cindy Evans' proposed
telecommunications ordinance, Bill 194, which had already been forwarded to you. The new
ordinance proposed by the Director is too sympathetic to the telecommunications industry
with not enough protections for our community.
It allows for towers and antennas in ALL zoning districts with NO permitting process and not
enough requirements. It gives total power to Planning with no other agencies involved.
Please consider Council Member Evans proposed ordinance which has clear, attainable permit
requirements. It is the perfect balance between the health, safety and welfare needs of the
people and the needs of the tech industry.
