A. The purpose of the regulatory provisions set forth in this part is to establish development standards for the installation and maintenance of antennas and wireless telecommunications facilities within specified land use zones in the community. These standards are intended to ensure that the design and location of those antennas and facilities are consistent with previously adopted policies of the city to promote the public health, safety, comfort, convenience, and general welfare of the residents, and to enhance the aesthetic quality and appearance of the community by maintaining architectural character and structural integrity, and by protecting views and vistas from obtrusive and unsightly accessory uses and facilities.

B. In adopting and implementing the regulatory provisions of this part, it is the intent of the city council to further the objectives specified in subsection (A) of this section without unnecessarily burdening the federal interest in ensuring access to satellite services, in promoting fair and effective competition among competing communications service providers, and in eliminating local restrictions and regulations that, with regard to antennas, preclude reception of an acceptable signal quality or unreasonably delay and prevent or increase the cost of installation, maintenance, or use of those antennas. (Ord. 690 § 4 (Exh. A), 2018).
