In an effort to better clarify where, and under what circumstances, new <br />antennas may be installed and antenna towers be constructed, Staff is recommending a number <br />of changes to Section 1325.09 of the Zoning Code. One of the goals of this amendment was to <br />require collocation of cellular antennas whenever feasible and to prioritize where in the City new <br />antennas can be installed. In addition to location requirements, Staff is recommending several <br />other amendments to the Code for the purpose of clarification and to update language to meet <br />current technology practices and standards. <br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for July 8, 2009 <br />C:• DOCUME 11MEAGAN I.BEEILOCALS-1I TemplELF431070809 -PC Report - Wireless Communications Ordinance.doc <br />Pagel of 3 <br />
