The Montgomery County County Council is considering a new Zoning Text Amendment on small cell antennas in residential zones:
- Neighborhood streetlights to be replaced with mini cell towers: All street lights in all Montgomery County neighborhoods can be converted to mini cell towers called small cells- without notice & public hearing.
- Eliminates setbacks to single family homes: The 300 -foot residential setback for small and large cell towers in residential zones is eliminated.
- Eliminates public notice and due process: Mini cell towers can be built on streetlights and power poles without giving notice to homeowners and without a public hearing or input process for the community.
GET THE FACTS ON THE ZTA
The ZTA would amend rules related to deployment of small antennas street light, utility, and commercial parking lot light poles, as well as on lower height buildings- giving companies free reign to place cell towers on our street lights and rights of ways.
Montgomery County created a "comment board" blog that no one knows about for the public to post comments.
