The Telecommunications Act of 1996 prohibits the City from establishing policies that discriminate against one or a group of providers in favor of another or another group of providers or potential providers. The following objectives shall be applied consistently to all telecommunications providers that request a location for their communication towers and antennas:
1. To minimize the overall number of towers located in the City, providers may be required to participate in collocation agreements.
2. To ensure that new towers will blend into their environment, providers will propose designs consistent with site characteristics.
3. To maximize safety new towers will be located away from population and employment centers and siting of new towers will include fall zone setbacks as specified herein.
