Title 1100 of the Mounds View Zoning Code is amended by adding a new <br /> <br />Chapter 1126 to read: <br /> <br />Subd. 1. <br /> <br />AUTHORITY. This Section is adopted pursuant to the authority granted to <br /> <br />the City in Minnesota Statutes, Section 462.335, Subdivision 4, entitled "Interim Ordinance." <br /> <br />Subd. 2. <br /> <br />PURPOSE. The City of Mounds View ("City") currently does not regulate <br /> <br />wireless transmission and reception facilities through its Zoning Code. The Mounds View Planning <br /> <br />Commission is in the process of reviewing the appropriate zoning for the establishment of new use, <br /> <br />development or construction of commercial wireless telecommunications services (hereinafter <br /> <br />"Towers and Antennas"), including Towers and Antennas for cellular, personal communication <br /> <br />services (peS), specialized mobilized radio (SMR), enhanced specialized mobilized radio (ESMR), <br /> <br />paging, and similar services marketed to the public within the City. Market demand, rapid advances <br /> <br />in technology and expanding federal licensure of radio frequencies has resulted in the increased <br /> <br />requests to locate Tower and Antennas Within the City; and that trend can be expected to accelerate <br /> <br />in the reasonably foreseeable future. The City Council is concerned that there is a lack of controls <br /> <br />relating to Towers and Antennas and the Zoning Ordinance may not adequately address issues related <br /> <br />1 <br />
