Verizon Wireless Conditional Use Permit / N-DRC2023-00049 / ED25-0199

Robert Soto and Verizon Wireless have requested a Conditional Use Permit from San Luis Obispo County for the construction and operation of an unmanned wireless communications facility. Located at 8610 Green Valley Road in the Adelaida sub-area of the North County planning area, the project is situated within an agriculture land use category approximately 12 miles east of Cambria. The facility will feature a 45-foot-tall faux water tank used to disguise nine panel antennas, six remote radio units, four surge suppressor units, and one GPS antenna. The installation includes associated trenching, equipment, cabinets, and hardware, with a 30-kW emergency diesel generator housed within a 1,080-square-foot chain link fence enclosure. The project, identified as N-DRC2023-00049, is classified as a Class 3 Categorical Exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 for the new construction of small structures, as it is determined to have no significant environmental impact. Administrative details include a county documentary handling fee of 81 dollars and a Notice of Exemption dated October 16, 2025. Primary coordination is managed by Planner II Blake Maule for the county and Justin Gronendyke as the authorized agent.
