The Coral Springs City Commission on April 2 unanimously approved a conditional use permitting a 100-foot telecommunications tower and associated ground equipment on Coral Springs Improvement District property at 10300 Northwest 11th Manor. The applicant, Vertical Bridge, presented the proposal to improve identified T‑Mobile service deficiencies in the area.

City staff said the proposed facility would occupy a 2,500-square-foot lease area and would be built as a stealth ‘‘monopine’’ to conceal antennas and ground equipment. The design submitted to the city shows three antennas at 95 feet, 85 feet and 75 feet, and a roughly 10-foot CMU wall around the ground equipment. Staff and the city’s consultant concluded the project met the siting and buffering criteria in the Land Development Code and recommended approval.

Mark Ritter, speaking for the Coral Springs Improvement District, told the commission the district had offered the needed space on its property after the applicant could not find a suitable city-owned site. “CSID is committed to supporting any project that benefits our customers, city residents and public safety efforts,” Ritter said in public comment, and he urged approval.

In making its finding, staff noted required setbacks from property lines and nearby residential structures (staff gave distances to the nearest homes as roughly 630–735 feet in several directions and smaller distances to the south property line), and referred to the city’s adopted wireless master plan. The staff presentation emphasized that the tower would reduce areas of poor or moderate T‑Mobile coverage and enable an upgraded 5G footprint.

No members of the public spoke in opposition during the public hearing. After the presentation the commission voted to approve the conditional use; the city attorney’s office was authorized to draft an order approving the application.

The commission’s approval authorizes the city attorney to prepare the formal order; the staff presentation did not specify a construction start date or the full permitting schedule.
