YAKIMA — The Yakima City Council voted Tuesday night for six-month moratoriums on new cellphone towers and billboards in the city.
City staff will use the time to revise rules on where they’re built and how they look. Public hearings will be held in May
The Yakima Herald-Republic reported the cellphone tower moratorium was requested by the Barge Chestnut Neighborhood Association after it learned Verizon planned to build a 55-foot tower on a church property.
