SP 24-01 T Mobile Communications Facility Modifications

The applicant is proposing a minor modification to an approved communications facility permit, last modified in 2001, by co-locating 6 new antennas to an existing cell tower and to build an additional equipment shelter within the existing lease area.  

The site currently features two approved communications towers and two equipment shelters.  T Mobile is proposing to add service to one of the existing towers by adding a new array of 6 antennas, located 5 feet below the existing array.  The site is located behind an existing warehouse and is generally not visible by any residential area.  The proposal will not make the existing tower any taller.  The proposal will add a new shelter to the site, to house T Mobile equipment, however, that will not be visible from any public right of way.  The same project was submitted to the City and approved as SP 22-01 in 2022, but the entitlement expired.  The 2024 submitted application differs slightly from the version that was approved by the City in 2022, but is substantially the same.
