City Council has developed a draft of a new ordinance to guide the placement of cell towers, guiding them to the more preferred areas.
Among other things, the new ordinance will streamline procedures for telecommunications companies wanting to locate in areas of Lansing predetermined as preferred locations. It also aims to prevent companies from locating towers on residentially zoned properties.
This ordinance will be voted on in the coming weeks and is currently being reviewed by the planning board.
While the ordinance is being reviewed a moratorium has been placed on new cell tower permits through 11/30/08. (Note that not all cell towers require permits, e.g. those in industrial and commercial areas.)
