CURRENT STATUS:  The applicant has filed an appeal of the Planning Commission's decision to deny this Use Permit application. At their September 13, 2017 meeting, City Council denied the request by Epic Wireless to continue this item for a third time to allow them additional time to evaluate alternative antenna sites. Council directed staff to set the Public Hearing date for September 27, 2017 at 6:30 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard. The staff report can be found at the following link: http://www.nevadacityca.gov/agendalist.aspx?categoryid=9947
