Burbank Moving to Update Wireless Siting Policies


Residents’ objections last fall to a proposed T-Mobile cell tower at Brace Canyon put the project on hold while Burbank held study sessions. Last week, Deputy Planning Director Michael Forbes told residents the permit will remain on hold until an updated wireless ordinance is in place for Burbank.

Burbank’s city council will hold a second study session/public hearing on wireless facilities on June 14, with Jonathan Kramer (who served as a special consultant to Glendale) on hand to answer general questions. A third study session is planned but not yet scheduled.
