Congratulations to Ben Jones for his contribution to Western City Magazine! Ben's article, published in the October edition of Western City Magazine, explores the implications of an upcoming Ninth Circuit decision on local government control over modifications to existing wireless telecommunication facilities. The lawsuit challenges the validity of the FCC’s interpretation of its regulations regarding “eligible facilities requests.” Ben’s article details the key points of contention in this case, which include height increases, equipment cabinet additions, concealment elements, shot clock commencement, and the “express evidence” rule, and provides valuable insights into how the outcome of the case could shape the future of how cities manage requests for modifications to wireless facilities.
