T Mobile Minor Use Permit (N-DRC2025-00039 / ED26-0054)

T-Mobile has submitted a request for a Minor Use Permit to expand an existing wireless communications facility at 8420 Temettate Drive in Nipomo, California, within the South County Inland Sub Area of the South County Planning Area. The proposed project involves installing six new panel antennas, six Remote Radio Units, one microwave dish antenna, new utility panels, three HCS cables, twenty-four fiber jumpers, twenty-four coax jumpers, and a six-foot-high retaining wall. Additionally, outdoor equipment cabinets will be mounted on a new 200-square-foot concrete pad within an authorized lease area, with associated utility trenching and site disturbance totaling approximately 300 square feet on a 40-acre parcel. The site is classified under the Rural Lands land use category and is located approximately one mile northwest of Suey Creek Road and 5.7 miles north of Highway 166. The permit application, designated as N-DRC2025-00039 / ED26-0054, was posted on June 16, 2026, and is being reviewed by San Luis Obispo County, with primary contact Sam Kinney, Planner I, and secondary contact Damien Pichardo of Coastal Business Group. The project aims to enhance wireless coverage in the region without altering the existing facility’s footprint significantly.
