17.95.010: PURPOSE:
To accommodate the communication needs of residents and businesses while protecting the public health, safety, and general welfare of the community, regulations regarding personal wireless facilities, spires, poles, antennas, steeples, towers, and other such structures are necessary in order to:
   A.   Facilitate the provision of wireless telecommunication services to the residents and businesses of the City;
   B.   Minimize adverse visual effects of spires, poles, antennas, steeples, towers, and other such structures through careful design and siting standards;
   C.   Avoid potential damage to adjacent properties from spire, pole, antenna, steeple, tower, and other such structures' failure, through structural standards and setback requirements; and
   D.   Maximize the use of existing and approved towers and buildings to accommodate new wireless telecommunication antennas in order to reduce the number of towers needed to serve the community. (Ord. 1423, 2017)
