UP-24;11-2 Vertical Bridge Tower 100’ Monopine

Amador County has approved Use Permit UP-24;11-2 for the installation of a 100-foot monopine wireless communication tower with ten panel antennae and associated ground equipment at 2650 Curran Rd in Ione, California, within a 40-foot by 40-foot enclosed lease area. The project, sponsored by Vertical Bridge and represented by Assurance Development, was processed under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) through a Mitigated Negative Declaration, which identified and incorporated mitigation measures to reduce environmental impacts to less than significant levels. Approval was formally granted on August 12, 2025, following a public hearing, with the Notice of Determination issued on August 15, 2025. The permitting authority is the Amador County Planning Commission, which retains responsibility for compliance oversight, environmental documentation, and final acceptance of the project. The tower must conform to Amador County Code Sections 19.48.150 and 19.56.040 governing wireless facilities and use permit findings, with no federal contractual clauses, pricing data, or procurement mechanisms involved, as the action is strictly a land use entitlement under state and local regulatory authority. All project records, including environmental reviews and approval documents, are maintained by the County Planning Department at 810 Court Street, Jackson, CA 95642, and are accessible for public inspection.
