Amendment of the Master Telecommunication Plan Map (MTP) 22 The Board held a public hearing, receive comment, and consider action on a request to 23 modify the Master Telecommunication Plan Map (MTP) in accordance with the provisions of 24 Section 5.10.2 Master Telecommunication Plan of the Orange County Unified Development 25 Ordinance (UDO).
