The Albany City Council Final Appeal Hearing on New Antennas for 423 San Pablo Ave. cell tower is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 7, 2011, 7:30 PM at City Hall, 1000 San Pablo Ave.
ARROW opposes any expansion of this tower because adding new antennas would extend its life indefinitely and set a precedent making it very difficult for residents who live near other towers that predate and violate our ordinance to stop the expansion of those facilities.
This tower violates the city's current zoning regulations for wireless towers (it is 17 feet too tall for the zone where it is located and too close to a residence). The zoning code prohibits expansion of towers such as this, which were built before the city's wireless regulations were adopted and do not meet the requirements of those regulations.
Insist that the city honor its own ordinance and protect our right to site wireless facilities responsibly, away from homes and schools.
Please check back a few days before the hearing for updates on the key issues that will be addressed at this hearing and a sample letter you can send to the City Council opposing expansion of this tower.
