Council grants special‑use permit to AT&T for 150‑foot monopole on East Saint Louis Street
Summary
The city approved a special use permit to AT&T to construct a 150‑foot monopole communications tower at 314 E. Saint Louis St.; the Planning & Zoning Commission had recommended approval 7‑0 and the council passed the ordinance by roll call.
Sedalia — The Sedalia City Council approved a special‑use permit allowing AT&T to construct a 150‑foot monopole wireless communications tower with a 4‑foot lightning rod at 314 East Saint Louis Street.
Staff said the 0.2‑acre site is zoned M‑1 Light Industrial and is bordered by a railroad and undeveloped parcels; the Planning & Zoning Commission held a public hearing on June 4, 2025 and recommended approval 7‑0, finding the project would have minimal traffic or operational impacts and aligns with the city’s comprehensive plan for future light industrial use in the area.
Why it matters: The tower is intended to improve wireless communications infrastructure in the city. The special use permit (Bill 2025‑110) was approved on final passage by roll call (seven yes, one absent).
Details: The permit authorizes a 150‑foot monopole plus a four‑foot lightning rod. Staff noted minimal operational impact on surrounding properties and alignment with land‑use designations.
Ending: With permit approval, AT&T will proceed with required permits and construction coordination with city staff and any applicable state/federal reviews.
