A new cell phone tower has been proposed for construction in San Tan Valley, according to recent documents filed with Pinal County. There is a residential zone near the tower. A Special Use Permit is required for the construction of the wireless communication facility.
The proposed tower would be situated on a 5.07-acre parcel south of E. Heritage Rd and west of N. Mitchell Trail in Pinal County.
