The City Council finds that the construction of telecommunications towers may cause unusual problems and hazards to the residents and visitors of the city. The purpose of this article is to regulate the construction of telecommunications towers to avoid potential damage to adjacent properties from tower failure and falling ice, to maximize the use of existing and new towers in order to reduce the number of towers needed, to minimize potential hazards to low flying law enforcement and medical helicopters, to restrict towers that adversely detract from the natural beauty of the mountains and the city by discouraging visual eyesores and to minimize the negative economic impact on tourism.
