656.1501. Legislative findings, intent and purpose. The city has on numerous occasions and with increasing frequency been confronted with requests to site communication towers. Prior to the adoption of this ordinance, the Zoning Code contained no provisions specifically related to siting communication towers. It is the intent of this Part 15 to promote the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens by regulating the siting of communications tower. Accordingly, the City Council finds that the promulgation of this ordinance is warranted and necessary to accomplish the following purposes:

(a) To direct the location of communication towers within the city;

(b) To protect residential areas and land uses from potential adverse impacts of communication towers;

© To minimize adverse visual and aesthetic impacts of communication towers through careful design, siting, landscape screening, and innovative aesthetic mitigation;

(d) To accommodate the growing need for communication towers;

(e) To promote and encourage shared use/co-location of existing and new communication towers as the preferred option rather than construction of additional single-use towers;

(f) To consider the public health and safety of communication towers;

(g) To avoid or minimize potential damage to adjacent properties, from the perspective of public safety, from tower failure through engineering and careful siting of tower structures.

656.1502. Definitions. For purposes of this Part, definitions provided for in Part 16 shall apply, and the following words and terms are defined as follows:
