ORDINANCE UPDATE:

The public comment period on the draft Nevada County Communications Towers and Facilities Ordinance closed on August 8, 2025. Thank you to all who participated with submissions. Read the letter submitted by Nevada County for Safe Tech.

According to the Planning Department Staff, the draft ordinance was modified in response to comments received during the public comment period, but is substantially the same and is being reviewed by the Planning Director. In the draft Staff Report, there will be a section that summarizes the changes made. The draft will likely be on the Planning Commission’s Public Hearing agenda in November. The meetings are held on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month. The fourth Thursday falls on the Thanksgiving holiday, so if the hearing is scheduled for November, the hearing might be on November 13th.
