Rancho Vita Tower / Moholland Drive monopole (Case 2025-221 / SEZ 2025-000021)
Description
A special exception for a 149-foot cell monopole in a rural AG-2 area was approved by the Hearing Examiner in August; residents demanded revocation but the county attorney confirmed the appeal window closed and the board has no authority.
Impact summary
Neighbors fear impacts to livestock, wildlife, property values and rural character, but the approval stands with no avenue for board action.
