The Council will consider the First Reading of a Zoning Ordinance text amendment entitled “Updated Option C-2” pertaining to telecommunication towers in the City. Based on the Council’s recent work session discussions regarding telecommunication towers, a revised ordinance has been drafted that permits such towers only as conditional uses in commercial/industrial areas 2 acres and larger or residential areas 5 acres and larger. Under this version, towers are not permitted in parks or schools). Recommend approval of the first reading. 4. The Council will consider authorizing a contribution to Community Mediation Services.
