New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC (AT&T Mobility) Conditional Use Permit, Coastal Development Permit, and Special Permit Record No.: PLN-2025-19320 APN: 511-042-004-000 McKinleyville area A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is requested to authorize the erection and operation of an 89-foot tall, unmanned wireless telecommunications facility. The structure would be located within an approximately 414 square-foot fenced lease area and will be capable of hosting equipment for one other wireless carrier. Stealthing is included to help disguise the facility and obscure the visibility of antennas and other equipment by making the structure look like an evergreen tree complete with faux branches on its “trunk”. The applicant plans to install a variety of equipment on the tower, including 12 AT&T Antennas, RRUs, cabling and fiber, as well as an equipment shelter and a 30kW generator. The parcel is currently developed with two residences and accessory structures. The parcel is located within the Coastal Zone; therefore, a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) is also required. A Special Permit is required to exceed the height limit.
