The Telecommunications Act of 1996 affirmed the City of Neptune Beach's authority
concerning the placement, construction and modification of wireless telecommunications
facilities. The City of Neptune Beach finds that wireless telecommunications facilities
may pose significant concerns to the health, safety, public welfare, character and
environment of the city and its inhabitants. The city also recognizes that facilitating
the development of wireless service technology can be an economic development asset
to the city and of significant benefit to the city and its residents. In order to
insure that the placement, construction or modification of wireless telecommunications
facilities is consistent with the city's land use policies, the city is adopting a
single, comprehensive, wireless telecommunications facilities application and permit
process. The intent of this local ordinance is to minimize the negative impact of
wireless telecommunications facilities, establish a fair and efficient process for
review and approval of applications, assure an integrated, comprehensive review of
environmental impacts of such facilities, and protect the health, safety and welfare
of the City of Neptune Beach.
