Clay City Council Delays AT&T Cell Tower Zoning Ordinance
What happened
The Clay City Council delayed an ordinance concerning a property rezoning request. Phill Town Development requested that the property on Steeple Chase Drive be rezoned from R-M to P-U to accommodate a cell phone tower for AT&T and other providers. Councilors reviewed propagation maps and expressed doubts about the tower dramatically expanding service coverage, noting it might only help about a hundred households.
Why it matters
The delay in the zoning ordinance impacts AT&T's ability to deploy necessary infrastructure. Councilors debated the potential service expansion and questioned the revenue the tower might generate for the area.
