The City Council hereby finds that the Communications Act of 1934, as amended by the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (“the Act”), grants the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) exclusive jurisdiction over:
(1) The regulation of the environmental effects of radio frequency (RF) emissions from Telecommunications Facilities; and
(2) The regulation of radio signal interference among users of the RF spectrum. The City’s regulation of Towers and Telecommunications Facilities in the City of Moline will not have the effect of prohibiting any person from providing wireless telecommunications services in violation of the Act.
This division has been taken in whole from the previous zoning code as found in Chapter 35, Article IV.
