ATTACHMENT A <br /> <br /> Planning & DeVelopment <br />.... . : Planning <br /> <br /> City of Eugene* <br /> <br /> Eugene, Oregon, 97401. <br /> (541) 682-5481 <br /> (541) 682-5572 FAX <br /> <br /> Date: December 13,200! <br /> To: Mayor T°rrey and CRy.Council <br /> From: Jan Childs, Planning Division (682-5208)~ <br /> · Subject: STATUS REPORT ON CELL TOWER SITING ISSUES <br /> <br /> This is in response to Councilor Rayor~s request for a status report on cell tower siting issues. <br /> This memo provides a brief review oft he City's response to the Federal Telecommunications <br /> . Act of 1996, an overview of the City' S.existing regulations for telecommunications facilities, <br /> information on telecommunications facility siting immediately prior to and since the February <br /> 1997 adoption of the City's telecommunications facility regulations and a summary of issues that <br /> have ariseri during review of recent Site Review applications for' telecommunications 'facillties. <br /> <br />~' ...... '~, City Re~oP~se to Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 <br />i... Following enactment of the. Federal Telecommunications Act Of 1996, the City Council <br /> established the Council CommiRee on TeleCOmmunications '(CCT). During the summer and fall <br /> of 1996, the CCT developed policies to establish a framework for how the City would address <br /> telecommUnications.issues. The CCT forwarded recommended policies to the City Council and,. <br /> in November 1996, the Council adopted the City of Eugene Telecommunications Policies. <br /> <br /> In July 1996, Planning and Development Department staffbegan receiving, a number of inquiries <br /> from telecommunications providers about the possible location of mmsmission towers and <br /> antennas within Eugene. Since the code did not specifically address telecommunications <br /> facilities, the City Attorney determined that review and approval for these facilities could occur <br /> · thrOugh the "ambiguity clanse" in Chapter 9. That clause allowed uses not recognized'in'the <br /> Code to be approved .through the standard conditional use process. Because of the number of <br /> apPlica~ons being received in advance of completion of the CCT work, City Council directed <br /> that a moratorium be placed on new applications. Applications received prior to adoption of the <br /> moratorium were exempted f~om the'moratorium. ~. <br /> <br /> In November 1996, the CCT reviewed preliminary concepts forLand Use Code amendments and <br /> directed staff to proceed. The draR. c0de langtutge prepared by staff and the City Attorney was <br /> based on information gained from telecommunication providers, the City's Telecommunications <br /> Facilities Siting Study, a.review of literature, evaluation of ordinances from other jurisdictions <br /> = and experience gained from processing the conditional use permit aPPlications submitted prior to <br /> ~r ~he moratorium. The P1 .~ning Commission held a public hearing on draft code amendments in <br /> <br /> Eugene City Council Agenda page21 IV-30 <br /> <br /> <br />
