The new policy will steer almost all new permits to street lights near homes because doing so requires the least amount of effort and approval. The City's policy establishes a priority of using street lights over traffic lights, which means even if the cell company would use a traffic light further away from homes the City won't let them if a street light near a home is available. The City needs to change the prioritization to put traffic lights first, then street lights to mimize the impact on residentail neighborhoods.
Cell companies are proposing sites one at a time leaving homeowners vulnerable. We are asking the City to require a cumulative plan that identifies all the cell companies' sites for a community. This would permit the community to assess the visual impact as a whole (avoid littering the community with cell antennas, cabinets, and other apparatus) and reduce the impact on property values for home owners as a whole.
