Board denies special-use permit for 80-foot faux-tree wireless tower near Florence-area subdivision

The Pinal County Board of Supervisors voted to deny Resolution No. 2026-SUP-007-26, rejecting a proposed Special Use Permit to install an 80-foot-tall faux eucalyptus wireless communication facility for Verizon Wireless in the Arizona Skies Ranches community. The Planning and Zoning Commission had recommended denial (9–0) with 17 stipulations; the Board adopted written findings supporting denial at Exhibit A of the resolution.

The applicants listed on the agenda were Vertical Bridge and Verizon Wireless on behalf of landowner Nu Wavz Holding LLC; the case was processed as SUP-007-26, and the agenda records the Board action as a denial with adoption of the written findings. The decision closes the permit request on the merits as recorded in the meeting minutes.
