CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Clearlake Planning Commission will host a public hearing on a proposal from a cell phone company to increase the number of antennas it has at a Clearlake location.
The commission will meet beginning at 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 4, in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive.
Before the commission will be an application from US Cellular, which wants to amend its current use permit for antennas located at 15764 B Woods Ave., property which is owned by the Konocti County Water District.
City staff is recommending the commission approve the application, which would allow US Cellular to install three additional antennas and three additional coax lines to the existing cell facility at the location.
The staff report for the meeting said the three new antennas would be located on existing water district towers.
US Cellular's current use permit on file, approved by the commission in 2003, consisted of the installation of a wireless communication facility on one of three existing municipal water storage tanks, and included nine directionally mounted antennas, two global positioning satellite antennas and associated electronics housed within a 350-square-foot shelter, according to city documents.
