The Telecommunications Act of 1996 affirmed River Heights City’s authority concerning the placement, construction, and modification of wireless telecommunications facilities. In order to ensure that the placement, construction, or modification of wireless telecommunications facilities is consistent with the City’s land use policies and the Federal Telecommunications Act, the City is adopting a single, comprehensive wireless telecommunications facilities application and permit process. The intent of this Local Ordinance is to minimize the negative impacts of Wireless Telecommunication Facilities, establish a fair and efficient process for review and approval of applications, assure an
integrated, comprehensive review of environmental impacts of such facilities, and protect the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of River Heights City.
