OSPEC26-000002 — Specific Use Permit in Newton County, GA

Request for a conditional use permit to develop a 150-foot monopole-style wireless tower for municipal communications on a 0.08-acre lease lot at Newton County High School in the R-2 (Single-Family Residential) zone. A companion waiver request seeks relief from Almon Overlay screening requirements that would otherwise mandate 100% spatial coverage vegetative screening with 2-4 rows of plants reaching 6 feet in height within 2 years, of which 75% must be evergreen.
