The green link above is from The City of Portland Permitting & Development Notice of a Type II Decision in our neighborhood with regards to the proposed cell tower to be placed at 8700 NE Emerson. Please read it!!! Its somewhat long but we as neighbors need to understand this document.


Attached at the bottom is the Appeal Form for you to read and identify any codes or zoning issues that we may use to file an appeal. Keep in mind that only the criteria's in this Type II Decision is what we can appeal.

We understand a lot of neighbors have expressed opinions and emotions about the placement of this cell tower. You are encouraged to bring them up to a Hearing Officer should the board vote and move forward to file an appeal.


But, we really need you to read the Decision and on the Appeal Form complete the "Identify the specific approval criteria at the source of the appeal" and describe how the proposal does or does not meet the specific approval criteria or how the City erred procedurally. The Appeal Form must be into the City on or before December 23, 2024. If you think we can appeal any one of the criteria, please include it on the appeal form on the link below.


Below is the Type II and IIX Decision Appeal Form
