[Added 12-16-1997 by Ord. No. 2231]
The objective of this article is to regulate
commercial antennas for land use and aesthetic reasons.
A.
Commercial antennas may cause a safety hazard if not
positioned and secured properly.
B.
Commercial antennas may be aesthetically undesirable
because they tend to be large in size and/or more numerous. This concern
is addressed by regulating the number, location and placement of commercial
antennas so as to minimize the visual disturbance associated with
their use.
C.
The conditions set forth in this article are intended
to address these land use, structural safety and aesthetic concerns.
[Amended 2-13-2002 by Ord. No. 2332; 3-12-2002 by Ord. No.

with the Municipal Land Use Law[1] and the applicable City of Garfield ordinances enacted
thereunder. This section shall in no way restrict or limit the powers
