The Green River City Council will meet Tuesday, July 6, at 7 p.m. at Green River City Hall.

Special Use Permit review and approval is required for the height and type of the proposed wireless structure, which was granted on June 9 with a 4-1-1 vote from the Green River Planning & Zoning Commission.

The wireless telecommunication facility proposes an 80-foot lattice style tower structure that will allow for collocation of up to three carriers, an 11×20 feet building to house electronics, an 8×12 feet building to house a backup generator (height of both will be 10 feet), and the facility will have a 6-foot wood fence around the edge of it.

The proposed property is zoned B-2 (Downtown Business District), which is described as “containing a
wide range of retail and commercial operations, including regional-scale business activities,” according to meeting documents. The property is surrounded by B-2 zoning districts except the northwest portion directly abuts an R-4 (Multi-Family Residential).
