Project description

The telecommunication ordinance requires that new telecommunication towers “use as many stealth design techniques as reasonably possible.” To ensure “stealth design,” city staff has generally encouraged the construction of “monopole”-style towers or towers in which all the antennas are internally housed. However, as currently written, the ordinance requires this type of construction only in residential and commercial zoning districts.

At a recent city council meeting, council members expressed a preference for stealth design techniques on all telecommunications towers to minimize their visual impact.
