PLN26-00068 Verizon Wireless Tower Extension Minor Use Permit

Project PLN26-00068 involves a request by Verizon Wireless for a Minor Use Permit to expand an existing cellular communications facility located at 2930 Lesvos Court in unincorporated Lincoln, Placer County, California. The scope of work includes increasing the height of an existing 60-foot self-support cell tower by adding a 20-foot extension. Additional installations consist of sixteen Ericsson antennas, four JMA wireless antennas, and a new diesel generator mounted on a 10 by 4 foot concrete pad, along with associated batteries and supporting equipment. The project is managed by the Placer County Community Development Resource Agency, with Claudia Garcia serving as the primary technician and point of contact. Under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15301 and Placer County Code Section 18.36.030, the project is categorized as an expansion of an existing facility and is therefore exempt from environmental review. The entitlement action for the Minor Use Permit was dated May 21, 2026, and the project is classified under NAICS code 237130.
