Protect residential areas and land uses from potential adverse impacts of wireless communications facilities.

Encourage and ensure the appropriate location of wireless communications facilities in consideration of the public health, welfare, and safety.

Consistent with federal and state law, minimize the total number of wireless communications facilities in the Borough.

Strongly encourage the co-location and joint use of existing and approved wireless communications facilities as a primary option rather than construction of new tower-based wireless communications facilities.

Encourage applicants to locate wireless communications facilities, to the extent practicable and possible, in areas where the adverse impact to the community is minimal.

Encourage applicants to configure wireless communications facilities in a way that minimizes their adverse visual impact through careful design, siting, landscape screening, and innovative camouflaging and stealth technology.

Enhance the ability of the providers of telecommunications services to provide such services to the community quickly, effectively, and efficiently.

Avoid potential damage to adjacent properties and the public health, welfare, and safety through proper engineering and careful siting of wireless communications facilities.

Comply with applicable federal and state law on the siting and regulation of wireless communications facilities, while ensuring that proper zoning regulations are implemented to ensure that the public health, welfare, and safety is protected and to minimize the adverse visual, structural, health, and safety impacts of such facilities.

In furtherance of the foregoing goals, the Borough shall give due consideration to the Borough Master Plan, Zoning Map, existing land uses, and environmentally sensitive areas in the approving of sites for the location of wireless communications facilities and the regulation of such facilities.
