Public Meeting: Antenna Guidelines Update

The public meeting is an opportunity to learn more about the project and ask questions. To have your comments included in the formal written record for consideration, please submit them on the Initiative page. The National Capital Planning Commission is updating the Antenna Guidelines which were last modified in 2001. This update includes several additions to the current guidelines: adding definitions for small cells and temporary antennas; including several new criteria to help protect viewsheds and address multiple antennas on building rooftops; and identifying the review process for temporary antennas and small cell antennas.

NCPC staff presented the draft antenna guidelines to the Commission at the July 9, 2020 meeting. The Commission released the draft guidelines for a 60-day public comment period. After collecting and addressing comments received on the draft Antenna Guidelines, staff will present the final Antenna Guidelines to the Commission for approval in the fall 2020.

This meeting will be conducted online using Zoom. You will need to RSVP and include your email address.  An invitation to join the meeting will be sent to you prior to the meeting.  You may use the Zoom invitation to join online or by phone.
