Nevada County for Safe Tech
A safe wireless ordinance is a crucial regulatory framework which should be designed to balance the rapid advancement of wireless technology with public health, safety, and aesthetic considerations.
As the Nevada County Planning Department and Board of Supervisors update the 20-year-old Communications Towers and Facilities Code, they have requested public feedback.
Key elements of a safe wireless ordinance typically include:
Clear guidelines for the siting and installation of wireless facilities to preserve community aesthetics.
Detailed and transparent permitting procedures while maintaining local oversight.
Robust public participation opportunities to ensure that community concerns and feedback are adequately addressed.
Stringent health and safety standards to mitigate any effects of electromagnetic radiation and fire risk, mindful that no cell tower be placed in a location where there is only one route of egress.
Join Nevada County community members who are learning about the issues, speaking to their Representatives and Staff, and helping shape the best practices and policies for this ordinance.
