The purpose and intent of this chapter is to provide a uniform and comprehensive set of zoning regulations and standards for the permitting, development, siting, installation, design, operation and maintenance of wireless telecommunications facilities in the city that are located on private property or public property outside the public rights-of-way. These regulations are intended to prescribe clear and reasonable criteria to assess and process applications in a consistent and expeditious manner, while reducing the impacts associated with these wireless telecommunications facilities. This chapter provides standards necessary (1) for the preservation of land uses in the city, (2) to promote and protect public health and safety, community welfare, visual resources and the aesthetic quality of the city consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the General Plan, (3) to provide for the orderly, managed and efficient development of wireless telecommunications facilities in accordance with state and federal laws, rules and regulations, and (4) to encourage new and more efficient technology in the provision of wireless telecommunications facilities.
