Conditional Use Permit LUNR-25-4

Conditional Use Permit LUNR-25-4 authorizes Epic Wireless to construct a 120-foot unmanned wireless tower and associated equipment in Tuolumne County, California. The facility will be situated within a 50-foot by 50-foot fenced lease area on an approximately 75 to 78-acre parcel, identified as APN 066-030-013. The project site is located along State Highway 120, approximately 0.5 mile southeast of downtown Groveland, within a region zoned as Exclusive Agriculture (AE-37). A key component of this permit is the determination that the facility complies with the Service Gap provisions of Section 17.94.100 of the Tuolumne County Ordinance Code, which allows the tower to be positioned within 175 feet of a parcel zoned as Residential Estate (RE-2). The project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15303. Total permit and administrative fees for the entitlement process amount to 7,950 dollars, with the project overseen by the Tuolumne County Community Development Department.
