Mounds View has received inquiries from companies desiring to construct telecommunication <br /> facilities within the City. Based on market demand, rapid advances in technology and expanding federal <br /> licensure of radio frequencies, it is foreseeable that the proliferation in telecommunication services will <br /> accelerate in the future. <br /> It is desirable to have official controls relating to telecommunication sites relating to appropriate locations for <br /> the towers and the conditions under which they may be allowed within the City, including structural and <br /> construction requirements, co-location setback and height limitations. It would also be desirable to conduct <br /> studies and determine if there is a need to amend the City's official controls or its comprehensive plan relating <br /> to telecommunication sites, and if so, adopt the appropriate amendments. The Council may choose an interim <br /> measure, as a moratorium, to protect the planning process and the health, safety and welfare of its citizens <br /> regarding such matters. <br /> 1/4 <br /> Joyce P227/tttActing ommunity elopment Director <br /> .ECOMMENDATION:Motion to waive the actual reading and consider approvaUdenial of the Formal Introduction of Ordinance No. <br /> 587,an Ordinance amending Title 100 by adding a new chapter 1126 establishing a 180-day moratorium on new use,development or <br /> construction of commercial wireless telecommunication towers and antennas within the City of Mounds View. <br />
