Use Permit #24-02 Verizon Wireless - Beegum

Use Permit 24-02 for Verizon Wireless Beegum authorizes the establishment of a 130-foot monopine tower located at 17025 Southlake Road, Cottonwood, California, within Tehama County. The project is situated on a 50 by 50 foot leased area at APN 007-420-045, which falls under One-Family Residence and Rural Residential Large Lot zoning designations. The installation includes eight panel antennas, eight radio units, four wireless Raycaps, four Air 6419 antennas, four future wireless radios, and two 6x12 hybrid cables. Supporting infrastructure consists of a 14 by 10 by 10 foot equipment shelter and a 30kw diesel generator with a 132-gallon capacity. The entire site will be secured by an 8-foot chain-link fence with brown privacy slats and a 12-foot wide access gate. The project is managed by the Tehama County Planning Department and has undergone environmental review under CEQA guidelines, resulting in a Mitigated Negative Declaration. This determination indicates that the project will not have significant environmental impacts provided that 15 specific mitigation measures are implemented. These requirements include strict adherence to drainage and erosion control plans, building setbacks from sensitive areas, and comprehensive biological surveys following CDFW protocols. Monitoring and inspection of these standards will be conducted by the Tehama County Planning and Public Works Departments, with all associated monitoring costs borne by the developer. Public review for the project was scheduled from August 27, 2025, to September 27, 2025.
