PLN250072 — 100-foot monopine wireless communication tower

Description

A reconsidered use permit for a 100-foot fake-tree Verizon tower with nine antennas, ground equipment, and an 865-foot gravel road, on industrial-zoned land west of Hollister to fix dropped calls and slow data. Approved on a 4-0 do-over vote after the original denial's findings were found legally insufficient.

Impact summary

Verizon users west of Hollister should see fewer dropped calls and better speeds; neighbors get a 100-foot fake pine tree in the viewshed.
