Hearing On Cell Tower Ordinance Set For Wednesday

The Hood River County Planning Commission will hold a public hearing Wednesday evening on a proposed communications tower ordinance.  Community Development Director John Roberts says the ordinance focuses on three areas that the applicant must address:  demonstrate the need, why co-location on an existing tower is not possible, and proof of exploration of concealment technologies.  Roberts points out under federal law, the County can only regulate time, place, and manner of the placement of the towers.  Roberts noted the draft ordinance is modeled after a similar document in Washington County.  The Planning Commission hearing will begin at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Hood River County Administration Building.
