Yreka Union Telecommunications Facility (UP-25-01)

Siskiyou County has issued a Use Permit, designated UP-25-01, authorizing The Towers, LLC to construct a 100-foot lattice-style wireless communications facility on a 50-foot by 50-foot parcel located at 943 Highway 263 in Yreka, California, with the intent of supporting telecommunications infrastructure and accommodating up to three tenants. The project has been classified as a minor land use action under the California Environmental Quality Act, qualifying for categorical exemptions under Sections 15303 and 15304 due to minimal environmental impact, including no tree removal or significant land alteration. All administrative approvals and environmental documentation were processed locally, with no federal contracting mechanisms or FAR clauses involved. The applicant submitted a Notice of Exemption, along with a $50 county documentary handling fee, and received approval from the Siskiyou County Planning Department and Clerk’s Office, which maintains all records and oversees compliance. The facility is intended to serve Verizon Wireless as the beneficiary, and construction is contingent solely on local regulatory clearance rather than federal procurement or contractual obligations. Payment for administrative fees is made via cash or check directly to the County Clerk, with no electronic invoicing, accounting codes, or federal appropriation data referenced. No formal contract performance dates, delivery schedules, FOB terms, inspection criteria, quality standards, or technical specifications for the facility are outlined; the deliverable is regulatory authorization rather than a defined technical output. The process is entirely paper-based, with submissions required in physical format at the Siskiyou County Clerk’s Office, and no electronic portal or digital submission option is available. The applicant, a private entity, provided no representations regarding small business status, socioeconomic certifications, or federal regulatory compliance, and the entire action remains within the scope of state and local land use permitting without federal acquisition elements.
