2. Encourages the collocation of telecommunications facilities;
3. Encourages the use of existing buildings, light or utility poles, or other structures for antenna mounting and discourages construction of new antenna towers;
4. Ensures that telecommunications facilities are located and designed to minimize visual impact on the surroundings; and
5.
