A variance request is under review for a proposed 199-foot communication tower at 2723 W. Dunnellon Road. The applicant, Verizon, needs the tower to address a coverage and capacity gap in the area. The request seeks a variance for separation distances from adjacent properties, specifically from a non-residential Heavy Industrial zoned property and a portion zoned CL. The proposed tower is planned for the largest Industrial zoned property within the search ring, which is a permitted use. This project is currently under review by the Planning and Development Commission. If approved, the project would involve site preparation for the tower foundation, installation of the tower structure, and related electrical and low-voltage systems. Contractors specializing in site prep, grading, concrete, electrical, and low-voltage systems could find opportunities. Reaching out to the applicant or relevant county departments early could provide insight into potential future needs before formal bidding processes begin.
