On 9/25/2024, the FCC determined that "with respect to ASR Application A1242992/ Registration 1325411, NexTower failed to satisy the NEPA and Section 106 local notice requirements". The FCC directed NexTower to "cancel Registration 1325411". The ASR process for the monopine will need to be redone.

See New Application in Downloads Section
-----------------
Ordinance Number: 2024-0415 (Application withdrawn 9/3/2024 and replaced with new application for a monopine aka pine tree-style tower at the same location)
PUD Name: Coastal Ridge Pud
A proposed cell tower project in Nocatee (240 feet from Kelly Pointe and adjacent to two high-voltage powerlines) fails to comply with critical minimum distance (setback) and land use requirements of the City of Jacksonville Zoning Code.
- Residential dwellings setback requirement: current 340 ft vs proposed 240 ft
- Transportation view corridor setback requirement: current 170 ft vs proposed 100 ft
- Wetlands setback requirement: current 340 ft vs proposed 54 ft
- The applicant seeks relief from these setbacks and requests to remove the requirement that the tower be outside the urban boundary.
- The Planning and Development Department recommends denying the application. However, the Planning Commission is split on the issue and will hold a public hearing on August 22nd to vote and make a recommendation.
