AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CITY CODE SECTION 1007.053 RELATED TO
ANTENNAS AND SMALL WIRELESS FACILITIES
The City Council of Lino Lakes ordains:
Section 1. Findings. On November 12, 2019, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 01-19
creating Chapter 305 in the City Code enacting Small Wireless Facilities Standards within the
public right-of-way. An amendment to Section 1007.053 is necessary to provide consistency
between the ordinances.
Section 2. Amendment. Lino Lakes City Code Section 1007.053 is hereby amended as set forth
below (added text is underlined):
§ 1007.053 ANTENNAS.
(1) Purpose and Intent. The purpose of this section is to establish predictable and balanced
regulations for the siting and screening of wireless communications equipment in order to
accommodate the growth of wireless communication systems within the City of Lino
Lakes while protecting the public against any adverse impacts on the City's aesthetic
resources and the public welfare. The provisions of the section are intended to maximize
the use of existing towers, structures, and buildings to accommodate new wireless
telecommunication antennas in order to minimize the number of towers needed to serve
the community. The Collocation of a Small Wireless Facility and the installation or
replacement of a Wireless Support Structure in connection with the Collocation of a
Small Wireless Facility on the Wireless Support Structure is subject to Chapter 305 of the
Lino Lakes City Code.
