   C.   Encourage the joint use of new and existing communication sites;

   D.   Encourage providers of facilities to locate them where the adverse impact on the community is minimal;

   E.   Encourage providers of facilities to use innovative design to minimize adverse visual impact;

   F.   Enhance the ability of the providers of telecommunication services to provide such services to the community quickly, effectively, and efficiently;

   G.   Accommodate, in a reasonable manner as established by Federal law (PRB-1) the allowance of amateur radio operations within the residential neighborhoods throughout the City. (Ord. 2012-15, 9-20-2012)
