North Central resident Bailey Stern looks over the display signs at an Aug. 13 neighborhood meeting held at Crossroads Church. AT&T representatives spoke to neighbors about the proposed cell phone tower to be located on the site of the church (photo by Patty Talahongva).
Cell phone tower likely to go in at Crossroads By Patty Talahongva For the second time, AT&T has requested a use permit from the city to build a cell phone tower on the property of Crossroads United Methodist Church, 7901 N. Central Ave. Although a final ruling on the request had yet to be issued by press time on Aug. 23, indications were that the request most likely would be approved—just as it had once before. The cell tower will be constructed to look like a church bell tower, complete with a large cross near the top. It
will be a maximum of 65 feet in height and will include an equipment room adjacent to the base. AT&T previously had obtained a use permit in February 2011, but due to a business merger and subsequent reassessments of the company and its equipment, the permit expired. The church is zoned residential, so a use permit is required to erect such a structure. The property also is designated public or quasi-public space, and the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance allows for such concealed wireless communications facilities on this type of property. However, the use permit approval please see TOWER on page 13
