This letter will set <br />out r?i.' preliminary an.swers to those questions. <br />Question 1: Can the city prohibit privately constructed telccornmunications towers iu <br />the city by requiring all antennas to be placed on city owned shuctures? <br />Answer:Yes, but only if the city, by such an action, does not restrict provision <br />of telecommunication services. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 <br />provides that a city may not prohibit provision of telecommunication <br />services. However, it does not prohibit all reasonable regulation by the <br />city. II reasonable service can be provided by requiring all antennas be <br />placed on city owned structures, then the city may prohibit privately <br />constructed telecommunication towers. . <br />057/14135450 5/15;V7
