The proposed facility is located to address an area needing wireless service improvement and thereby promotes public health, safety, and general welfare. As recognized in NC General Statutes Section 160D-930(a) and in Section 14- 257 (0) (1) of the Johnston County Land Development Code, the goal is "to ensure the ready availability of reliable wireless services to the public, governmental agencies and first responders, with the intention of furthering the public safety and general welfare." Many 911 emergency calls are made from cell phones, and greater access to cellular service will provide reliable access to emergency alerts, weather radar and warnings, and other necessary and critical information. Reliable service is essential to quick recording and coordination of responses to accidents, criminal activity, health events, natural disasters, and other emergency situations that impact public health and safety. In addition, this site will provide broadband 2. That the use of the development appears to comply with all required use and intensity regulations of Articles II & IV of the.
