The zoning regulation of wireless telecommuni- cations facilities is intended to provide for the appropriate location, development and installation of telecommunications towers and antennas within the city. The provisions of this subchapter are intended to protect the health, safety and aesthetic concerns of the community by minimizing the adverse visual effects of towers and antennas through careful design, siting and screening; by avoiding potential damage from tower failure to adjacent properties through structural standards and setback requirements; and by maximizing the use of existing towers, structures or buildings to accommodate new telecommunications antennas in the city.
