Wireless facility replacement and 10-year extension at 37822 6th Street East
Palmdale
Summary
A cell tower disguised as a 65-foot water tower at the city's water park needs a brand-new permit because its original 2014 approval expired in 2024. The upgrade swaps antennas inside the existing structure — no taller tower, no bigger footprint. The decision affects cell coverage in the area and the look of the park.

Planning Commission - Feb 12, 2026
An aging cell tower at 37822 6th Street East will be demolished and replaced with a modern 56-foot monopole, keeping wireless service in the area running for another decade. Commissioners asked about how the tower will look before signing off unanimously.

The upgrade happens entirely within the existing tower — no height increase, no new ground disturbance — so the visible impact on the park and nearby homes should be minimal, while wireless coverage continues for another decade.
Major Modification 25-0026 and Time Extension 26-0002
Neighbors get a modernized cell tower instead of aging equipment, and service at the site is locked in through the extended term.
