Verizon Wireless wants to build two 100-foot-tall cell towers in Baker City.

The company, represented by Acom Consulting, has applied for conditional use permits for the towers, which would be taller than the city allows without a permit.

The city Planning Commission will consider the company’s requests during a public hearing Sept. 16 at 7 p.m. at City Hall, 1655 First St.

The proposed cell tower sites are:

andbull; 2960 East St. This property, zoned industrial, is just north of D Street, north of the Baker County Fairgrounds.

Because the parcel is within 100 feet of a residential zone, the height limit for structures, without a conditional use permit, is 38 feet.

andbull; 2431 11th St. This property, zoned industrial, is between Madison and Campbell streets, near the railroad.

The height limit for the general industrial district is 50 feet.
