Conduct a public hearing and consideration of the adoption of Ordinance No. 5814 amending the City of Mission Code of Ordinances Appendix A – Zoning, Article VIII – Use Districts and Conditional Uses, Section 1.37 – R-1A (Large Lot Single Family Residential District), Subsection (3) Conditional Uses, Section 1.371 - R-1 (Single Family Residential District), Subsection (3) Conditional Uses, Section 1.372 – R-1T (Townhouse Residential District), Subsection (3) Conditional Uses, Section 1.38 – R-2 (Duplex-Fourplex Residential District), Subsection (3) Conditional Uses, Section 1.39 – R-3 (Multi-Family Residential District), Subsection (3) Conditional Uses, and Section1.40 (Mobile Home and Modular Home District), Subsection (3) Conditional Uses, Section 1.44(A) – C-5 (Adaptive Commercial District), Subsection (3) Conditional Uses, Section 1.45 – I-1 (Light Industrial District), Subsection (3) Conditional Uses, Section 1.46 – I-2 (Heavy Industrial District), Subsection (3) Conditional Uses, Section 1.47 - PUD (Planned Unit Development), Subsection (2) Permitted Uses by Adding Telephone, Radio, Television and/or Other Communications Towers as a Conditional Use. Applicant: City of Mission – Cervantes As demand for reliable wireless communication continued to grow, municipalities were increasingly challenged to balance infrastructure needs with neighborhood compatibility. Expanding coverage for cellular and broadband services was critical to support public safety, economic development, remote work, education, and overall quality of life. Currently, telecommunication towers were often restricted to non-residential zoning districts, which could limit service coverage and create gaps in connectivity, particularly in underserved or rapidly developing residential areas. To address these challenges, it was proposed that telecommunications towers be considered as a Conditional Use within residential zones. CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING AGENDA – May 12, 2026 PAGE 8 Allowing telecommunication towers through a conditional use process provided the City with discretionary authority to evaluate each application on a case-by-case basis. This ensured that proposed towers met clearly defined criteria related to location, design, height, setbacks, aesthetics, safety, and potential impacts on surrounding properties. Additional conditions may be imposed to minimize visual impacts, encourage co-location of multiple providers, and ensure compliance with federal and state regulations. This approach promoted a balanced solution supporting modern infrastructure needs while preserving neighborhood character and protecting property values. It also provided transparency and public input opportunities through the conditional use permitting process. Amending the ordinance to allow telecommunication towers with a conditional use permit in residential and industrial zones allowed the City to proactively address connectivity demands while maintaining appropriate local control and safeguarding community interests. Staff and Co-Interim City Managers recommended approval. Mayor Garza asked if there were any comments for or against the request. Juan Cantu, 2707 N. Conway, president of Wagon City North stated that he had requested this for the residents of his community. He was trying to lower costs for the senior citizens in his community. The addition of this tower would lower the costs for residents by $200 per year. This tower would also only be used for the residents living within Wagon City. Mayor Pro Tem Plata moved to approve Ordinance No. 5814 amending the City of Mission Code of Ordinances Appendix A – Zoning, Article VIII – Use Districts and Conditional Uses, Section 1.37 – R-1A (Large Lot Single Family Residential District), Subsection (3) Conditional Uses, Section 1.371 - R-1 (Single Family Residential District), Subsection (3) Conditional Uses, Section 1.372 – R-1T (Townhouse Residential District), Subsection (3) Conditional Uses, Section 1.38 – R-2 (Duplex-Fourplex Residential District), Subsection (3) Conditional Uses, Section 1.39 – R-3 (Multi-Family Residential District), Subsection (3) Conditional Uses, and Section1.40 (Mobile Home and Modular Home District), Subsection (3) Conditional Uses, Section 1.44(A) – C-5 (Adaptive Commercial District), Subsection (3) Conditional Uses, Section 1.45 – I-1 (Light Industrial District), Subsection (3) Conditional Uses, Section 1.46 – I-2 (Heavy Industrial District), Subsection (3) Conditional Uses, Section 1.47 - PUD (Planned Unit Development), Subsection (2) Permitted Uses by Adding Telephone, Radio, Television and/or Other Communications Towers as a Conditional Use.
