OFFICIAL TITLE AND SUMMARY
I. Title
An ordinance recodifying the Fridley City Code, Chapter 205, entitled
"Zoning", by adding new Section 205.29, "0-5 Telecommunications Towers
and Facilities District"; to amend Sections 205.06, 205.17.01.C. (7) ,
205.18.01.C. (7) , 205.19.02.C. (5) , Section 205.20.01.C. (1) , and

II. Summary
The City Council of the City of Fridley does hereby ordain as follows:
The ordinance creates a new overlay district entitled "0-5,
Telecommunications Towers and Facilities". The purpose of this district
is to create an overlay zone to regulate the placement, construction,
and modification of Towers and Wireless Telecommunications Facilities.
Additionally, the purpose of the district is to protect residential
areas and land uses, to minimize adverse visual impacts, to promote
shared use/collocation, to ensure compatibility with surrounding land
uses, and to facilitate the provision wireless telecommunications
services to the residents and businesses of the City in a streamlined,
orderly, and efficient fashion.
The ordinance defines several terms, provides for regulation of non-
conforming sites, and describes the requirements for location of towers
and wireless telecommunication facilities. Appendix A of the ordinance
defines specific sites where towers or wireless telecommunication
facilities may be located as a permitted use, including the Municipal
Garage or Recycling Center site, Community Park, the water tower in
Locke Park, Edgewater Park, the Fridley Reservoir along Matterhorn
Drive, Well #13, Commons Park, and the water tower in Commons Park.
The ordinance describes the process to add additional approved sites and
defines the criteria to evaluate such a proposal. Towers and wireless
telecommunications facilities may also be permitted in industrial zones
as a special use permit.
The ordinance requires several construction standards to ensure the
safety of surrounding land uses, including setbacks, landscaping and
screening, tower height, illumination, security, stealth design and
exterior finishes, installation standards on water towers, signs,
certifications and inspections, building permits, maintenance, priority
for use, collocation, fees, and abandonment procedures.

AN ORDINANCE RECODIFYING THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE,
CHAPTER 205, ENTITLED "ZONING", BY ADDING NEW
SECTION 205.29, "0-5 TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWERS
AND FACILITIES DISTRICT"; TO AMEND SECTIONS
205.06, 205.17.01.C. (7) , 205.18.01.C. (7) ,

"GENERAL PROVISIONS AND FEES"
WHEREAS, on February 8, 1996, Congress enacted the federal
Telecommunications Act of 1996, P.L. No. 104-104, to deregulate the
telecommunications industry, providing a more competitive environment
for wired and wireless telecommunication services in the United
States; and
WHEREAS, a concomitant effect of increased competition in the market
for wireless telecommunications services is an increased demand for
antenna sites on Towers and other Antenna Support Structures
necessary for providing wireless service via existing and new
technologies; and
WHEREAS, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 preserves the authority
of the City to regulate the placement, construction, and modification
of Towers, Antenna Support Structures, and Wireless
Telecommunications Facilities, as hereinafter defined, in order to
protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public; and
WHEREAS, the City solicited industry comment regarding the Ordinance
in order to facilitate industry input and suggestions concerning the
proposed Ordinance and to work through various alternatives and
possible revisions in order to best accommodate the needs of the City
and the industry.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FRIDLEY,
MINNESOTA, AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That Chapter 205 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of
Fridley, Minnesota, be, and hereby is, amended by enacting a new
Section 205 .29, to be entitled, numbered and read as follows:
205 .29. 0-5 TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWERS AND FACILITIES DISTRICT
1. PURPOSE AND INTENT
The general purpose of this Section is to create an overlay zone to
regulate the placement, construction, and modification of Towers and
Wireless Telecommunications Facilities in order to protect the
health, safety, and welfare of the public, while at the same time not
unreasonably interfering with the development of the competitive
wireless telecommunications marketplace in the City.

Specifically, the purposes of this Section are:
A. To protect residential areas and land uses from potential
adverse impact of Towers and Wireless Telecommunications
Facilities;
B. To minimize adverse visual impact of Towers and Wireless
Telecommunications Facilities through careful design, siting,
landscaping, and innovative camouflaging techniques;

existing Antenna Support Structures as a primary option rather
than construction of additional single-use Towers in order to
minimize the adverse visual impact of Towers and Wireless
Telecommunications Facilities;
D. To avoid potential damage to property caused by Towers and
Wireless Telecommunications Facilities by ensuring that such
structures are soundly and carefully designed, constructed,
modified, maintained, located, and removed when no longer used
or determined to be structurally unsound;
E. To ensure that Towers and Wireless Telecommunications
Facilities are compatible with surrounding land uses;
F. To facilitate the provision of wireless telecommunications
services to the residents and businesses of the City in a
streamlined, orderly, and efficient fashion;
