Commission approves two Waterloo Fiber equipment shelters at separate sites

The Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission approved two separate special permits May 13 for Waterloo Fiber to construct 10-by-16-foot equipment shelters and diesel generators to support the city fiber-optic network. Staff said both sites are within planned commercial or residential zoning areas but lie in primary growth areas served by existing utilities; no nearby property owners were required to receive courtesy notices for the first site because none were within 250 feet.
