In order to accommodate the communication needs of residents and businesses while protecting the public health, safety and general welfare of the community, the city finds that these regulations are necessary in order to:
(A) Facilitate the provision of wireless communication services to the residents and businesses of the city;
(B) Minimize adverse visual effects of towers through careful design and siting standards;
(C) Avoid potential damage to adjacent properties from tower failure through structural standards and setback requirements; and
(D) Maximize the use of existing and approved towers to accommodate new wireless communication antennas in order to reduce the number of towers needed to serve the community.
