when the Coastal Commission
first issued the project a permit in

With 5G technology on the way,
Marin County has released a draft
ordinance that would regulate the
placement and design of new wire-
less transmitting infrastructure.
The Board of Supervisors is
scheduled to discuss the proposed
regulations at its July 9 meeting.
The ordinance spells out design
