(2) Provide for the appropriate location and development of wireless telecommunication facilities;
(3) Protect the city’s built and natural environment by promoting compatible design standards for wireless telecommunications facilities;
(4) Minimize adverse visual impacts of wireless telecommunication facilities through careful design, siting, landscape screening, and innovative camouflaging techniques;
(5) Avoid potential damage to adjacent properties from tower or antenna failure through engineering and careful siting of wireless telecommunications tower structures and antennas;
