The highway <br />corridors and the heavy concentration of users near these corridors and the regional shopping center create <br />this demand. A communication tower is now used primarily for telecommunications such as cell phones, <br />mobile radio phones, digital phones and computerized data transmission. These towers may range ftom <br />100 feet up to 250 feet in height and need to be located on 1 to 1-1/2 mile radius. Staff estimates 5 to 8 <br />such towers could be located within the City. In Roseville, our planning, engineering and finance staffhave <br />been reviewing requests for permits. <br /> <br />The City land use code allows towers to be constructed to any height, but require the approval of the <br />Community Development Director an appeal to the City Council. Most recently, this occurred at the site <br />adjacent to the Roseville Water Tower, wherein the applicant had originally proposed a tower further <br />north, within clear view of the Twin Lakes redevelopment. <br /> <br />Because these new communication towers are permitted anywhere within the City under the current code, <br />it would be prudent to reconsider the City's land use regulation of such towers. For example, the permit to <br />allow all towers (except City ofRoseville controlled or owned "designated" tower sites - similar to the <br />Burnsville Ordinance - where the tower would be considered a permitted land use) could be changed to a <br />Conditional Use Permit and limited to specific zones such as business and industrial districts only. A draft <br />ordinance is attached. The strategy here would be to create a permitted " incentive" to place <br />communications equipment on sites designated by the City with restrictive covenants or lease conditions, <br />but without need for further permits and hearings. <br /> <br />If tower proponents insisted upon other sites, the conditions (only through a conditional use permit) that <br />could be written into the code include the following: <br /> <br />1) Height <br />2) Strength <br />3) Setback ftom residential districts, buildings, roads, other structures <br />4) Visual guidelines such as color, guy wires, support structure designs, and monopole design <br />5) Fencing and support services parking. <br /> <br />It may also be valuable to redefine the term "essential services" which are currently permitted in any zoning <br />district. Such towers could be misconstrued to be essential services. <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation: <br /> <br />Request the City Attorney to prepare a draft ordinance for review by the Council at a future meeting. <br /> <br />Report by: Dennis Welsch (490-2232) <br /> <br />1 <br />
