The Telecommunications Act of 1996 prohibits the village from establishing policies that discriminate against one or a group of providers in favor of another or another group of providers or potential providers. The following objectives shall be applied consistently to all telecommunications providers that request a location for their communication towers and antennas:
(A) To minimize the overall number of towers located in the village, providers may be required to participate in collocation agreements;
(B) To ensure that new towers will blend into their environment, providers will propose designs consistent with site characteristics;
(C) To maximize safety new towers will be located away from population and employment centers and siting of new towers will include fall zone setbacks as specified herein; and
(D) To ensure the interests of the residents of the village are protected the Village Board will have the right to deny any application.
