CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 3A STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Karlson, City Administrator MEETING DATE: November 25, 2019 TOPIC: Consider 2nd Reading of Ordinance No. 01-19, Enacting Small Wireless Facility Standards VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 INTRODUCTION The City Council is being asked to consider the 2nd Reading of Ordinance No. 01-19, Enacting Small Wireless Facility Standards. The first reading was approved October 28, 2019. BACKGROUND Title 300 of the Lino Lakes City Code has been amended by adding a new Chapter 305, which establishes specific requirements for obtaining a Small Wireless Facility Permit for installation, mounting, modification, operation, and replacement of Small Wireless Facilities and installation and replacement of Wireless Support Structures by commercial wireless providers on public and private property, including in the Public Right-of-Way. Small wireless facilities are needed to provide the next generation of wireless services (called 5G), which will allow wireless providers to install lower hanging antennas connected to fiber optic cable, usually attached to utilities poles such as a light pole. A few more revisions were made to the ordinance after the First Reading on October 28, 2019, which are highlighted in red. On page 21, the amendment to § 1007.053 Antennas of the Lino Lakes Zoning Code on page 21 was stricken all together. This section must first be acted upon by the Planning and Zoning Board following a public hearing. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the adoption of Ordinance No. 01-19 with the following actions: 1. Dispense with the full reading of the ordinance; 2. Roll call vote for adoption of the ordinance; 3. Approval of Resolution No. 19-149 for summary publication.
