UP 23-02 VB Edge, LLC (Galarza) - Ohm Road

Use Permit 23-02 is a project for the establishment of a Small Fixed Wireless Facility on Ohm Road in Red Bluff, California, managed by the Tehama County Planning Department for VB Edge, LLC. The project consists of five communication structures, each approximately 11 feet 5 inches tall, featuring 8-foot diameter aimable antenna dishes that automatically orient to satellites. The facility will include raised concrete equipment pads, utility backboards, and metered utility service, with all structures enclosed by a 10-foot corrugated metal fence and utilities secured by a chain link fence with slats. Site development involves a total disturbed area of approximately 0.4 acres, with less than 300 square feet of impervious surface. Infrastructure improvements include a concrete swale for drainage, a culvert with headwalls, and utility trenching extending east from the complex, with access provided via a new driveway over the culvert. The project is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has undergone an environmental review process resulting in a Mitigated Negative Declaration. This determination concludes that potential environmental impacts on biological resources, geology, soils, and hydrology will be reduced through specific mitigation measures. The public review period for the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration was scheduled from August 15 to September 14, 2026. The project is classified under NAICS code 237130 and involves coordination with agencies such as the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Regional Water Quality Control Board.
