Conditional Use Permit #25-0004 / Variance #25-0001 / Initial Study #25-0012 Vertical Bridge Tower

The applicant, Vertical Bridge, is proposing to construct a wireless communications facility (WCF), at the above-mentioned project location, which consists of a 120-foot unmanned monopole tower with a 10- foot lightning rod for a total height of 130 feet on a 1,600 sq. ft. leased, fenced area, on the northern portion of the subject parcel (APN) 045-600-017-000, owned by Jesus Diaz Gonzales. The proposed telecommunications tower will be erected, owned, and operated by Vertical Bridge (VB BTS 111, LLC). Vertical Bridge has committed to allowing the shared use of the tower for co-location of other antennas, where structurally, technically, physically, economically, and contractually feasible, with the cost of modifying the tower, if required, to be borne by the co-location company. The proposed telecommunications facility requires a Conditional Use Permit (CUP #25-0004) and a Variance (V #25-0001) to exceed the 60-feet height limitation for the A-1 (Light Agriculture) zone by 70 feet.
