United States Eleventh Circuit

A county violated section 704(a) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, through denial of an application for conditional use approval, to construct a multiple user-wireless communication tower, where generalized concerns of citizens about aesthetics did not amount to substantial evidence; "final action" triggering a claim under section 704(a) is the authority's issuance of its written decision.
