Related to Councilmember Ihlan's con- cern that the City Hall campus become a tower farm, Councilmember Roe noted that any requests have to come before the City Council for approval, and would be self-regulated by the City through a natural correction process. Councilmember Ihlan clarified her comments, stating that her point was not to ban cell phone towers in Roseville; but approvals were done without a clear pol- icy in place on an ad hoc basis; and that revenue should not be a factor in land use decisions.
