As residents of Clovis we must protect our environment, welfare, and health and urge our city officials to responsibly review and approve applications for towers in our neighborhood.
Now, we are fighting - residents in Clovis have organized to protect our homes and schools from cell towers.
Problem: Sprint wants to erect a brand new 75 ft. cell tower at Clovis Christian Church at 1701 Locan Ave which is an estimated 550 ft. away from Red Bank School campus where 796 students attend. In zip code area 93612, there are around 200 towers, (50 registered/150 not registered) and 229 antennas. *
On Wed. Oct 10 we attended a public hearing regarding this application. We were given until Tuesday, 10/16 to provide information opposing this.
Please sign this petition to oppose the building of the cell tower in this location.
Email Clovis Christian Church (owner's of propose cell tower site) and tell them, you would like them to decline the offer from Sprint to erect this tower.
Email the City of Clovis Planning Department and tell them you:

Please sign this petition to oppose the building of the cell tower in this location. We have until Monday, 10/15 to gather all materials to contest this effort, specifically, this petition and any correspondence sent to the City of Clovis and the Clovis Christian Church.
In addition, please email City of Clovis Planning Department and the Clovis Christian Church (owner's of propose cell tower site) and tell them, you:
1) Oppose the proposed Sprint cell tower at 1701 Locan Ave.
2) Oppose cell towers in R-1 residential neighborhoods.
3) Oppose cell towers anywhere near schools, churches, & parks.
4) Oppose the cell tower aesthetics. It doesn't look good or fit in with the environment and character of the neighborhood.
5) Are concerned about the devaluation of real estate. Average home value drops 4-40% if a cell tower is in the area.
6) Tell them fears of EMF and potential increase likelihood of people getting cancer and the concern you have for our children and residents
7) We want stricter wireless ordinances for our city that will protect our homes, schools and parks from cell towers
