Administrator's Review/Recommendation: -No Comments to supplement this report -Comments attached. Explanation/Summary(attach supplement sheets as necessary) Summary: This item was introduced and a hearing was held for public discussion on July 29, 1996. This moratorium is necessary since, the City of Mounds View's Code does not now regulate the siting of telecommunication facilities within the City. Mounds View has received inquiries from companies desiring to construct telecommunication facilities within the City. Based on market demand, rapid advances in technology and expanding federal licensure of radio frequencies, it is foreseeable that the proliferation in telecommunication services will accelerate in the future. s desirable to have official controls relating to telecommunication sites relating to appropriate locations for 0 the towers and the conditions under which they may be allowed within the City, including structural and construction requirements, co-location setback and height limitations. It would also be desirable to conduct studies to determine if there is a need to amend the City's official controls or its comprehensive plan relating to telecommunication sites, and if so, adopt the appropriate amendments. The Council may choose an interim, measure, as a moratorium, to protect the planning process and the health, safety and welfare of its citizens regarding such matters. Formal adoption of this ordinance will require a roll call vote. ----,4' )t-2.---(-2--e-- A::%;(_,-(,-----7/,_/ Joyce Pruitt, Planning Associate OMMENDATION:Motion to waive the actual reading and consider approval/denial of the Formal Approval of Ordinance No. ,an Ordinance amending Title 100 by adding a new chapter 1126 establishing a 180-day moratorium on new use,development or construction of commercial wireless telecommunication towers and antennas within the City of Mounds View.
