 Sierra Club California Letter Against CA 5G Streamlining Bill

The Sierra Club California  wrote a letter in opposition to the unfettered rollout of 5G Small Cells in California

“On behalf of the undersigned, we write to register our opposition to SB 649 (Hueso) which would

prohibit local discretionary review of “small cell” wireless antennas , including equipment collocated on existing structures or located on new “poles, structures, or non-pole structures,” including those within the public right-of-way and buildings.

The proposal preempts adopted local land use plans by mandating that “small cells” be allowed in all zones as a use by-right, including all residential zones. Because of this, this proposal essentially provides a CEQA exemption for installation of these facilities, undermining the ability for communities to comment and register their concerns associated with previously mentioned installation.

These “small cell” installations not only can cause an aesthetic blight, but can release levels of radiation that we don’t yet know conclusively the health impacts they can impose of humans, especially developing bodies and minds of children.

These small cell boxes could pop up anywhere: grocery stores, outside school, playgrounds, communal places, with no requirement to mitigate effects or understand potential environmental and health hazards. For these reasons, we urge your “no” vote in committee.”
