Proposed cell tower to be considered at public hearing

Red star indicates proposed location of a Verizon cell tower.

By Doug Spoon, Editor

A public hearing regarding a proposed cell tower on the Menifee Lakes Golf Course will be held April 9 at 6 p.m. before the Menifee Planning Commission.

Titled the Rockport Golf Course Verizon Wireless Facility, the tower is planned to be located on the edge of the golf course near the intersection of Menifee Lakes Drive and Camino Cristal, just north of Menifee Road.

The tower is proposed to be a 70-foot-tall mono-eucalyptus unmanned wireless cell site. It would be located on a 347-square-foot lease area enclosed by an 8-foot decorate block wall. Faux ivy would be placed around the wall to hide it from public view.

The project has been determined to be Categorically Exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and CEQA Guidelines.
