The updated Sebastopol ordinance passed April 16, 2019. It does not stop 5G, there is NO moratorium on 5G in Sebastopol, but it does raise the bar in terms of what the telecom has to do to apply:


Telecom applicants must have an in person meeting with full completed applications.


Telecom applicants must hold public meetings prior to applying.


Telecom applicants must give notice of application to residents within 600 feet of the proposed site.


Antennas must be at least 1500 feet apart.


Antennas not in residential zones.
The Sebastopol Telecommunication Ordinance is 55 pages- and complicated, but above is the basic gist.
