TOWER - COMMERCIAL: Any pole, spire or structure, or combination <br />thereof including supporting lines, cables, wires, braces and <br />masts, intended primarily for the purpose of mounting an antenna, <br />meteorological device or similar apparatus above grade and which <br />is erected for the commercial use of information. Commercial <br />towers shall only be allowed as accessory uses. <br />TOWER - PRIVATE: Any pole, spire or structure, or combination <br />thereof including supporting lines, cables, wires, braces and <br />masts, intended primarily for the purpose of mounting an antenna, <br />meteorological device or similar apparatus above grade and which <br />is erected for the non - commercial and non - vendor use of <br />information. <br />Section 2. <br />Chapter 903.140 of the Municipal Code of the City of Little <br />Canada is hereby added to read as follows: <br />Chapter 903.140. PURPOSE. The general purpose of this <br />Ordinance is to regulate the placement, construction and <br />modification of antennas and antenna structures in order to <br />protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public, while at <br />the same time not unreasonably interfering with the development <br />of the competitive wireless telecommunications marketplace in <br />Little Canada. Specifically, the objectives of this Ordinance <br />are: <br />*To direct the location of antennas and antenna structures <br />in the City; <br />*To protect residential areas and land uses from potential <br />adverse impacts of antennas and antenna structures; <br />*To minimize adverse visual impacts of antennas and antenna <br />structures through careful design, siting, landscaping, and <br />innovative camouflaging techniques; <br />*To promote and encourage shared use /collocation of antenna <br />structures as a primary option rather than construction of <br />additional structures; <br />*To avoid potential damage to adjacent properties caused <br />by antennas and antenna structures by ensuring they are <br />soundly and carefully designed, constructed, modified, <br />maintained, and removed; <br />*To the greatest extent feasible, ensure that antennas and <br />antenna structures are compatible with surrounding land <br />uses; <br />*To the greatest extent feasible, ensure that proposed <br />antennas and antenna structures are designed in harmony with <br />natural settings and in a manner consistent with current <br />development patterns. <br />2 <br />Page 17 <br />
