1301 — Purpose — Zoning Department

These regulations governing telecommunication facilities are to provide for the construction, erection,
extension, and removal of such facilities in the Boston Township business corridor. They are related to
certain applications of technology in the field of wireless telecommunication. The purpose of the
regulations is to balance the competing interests created by the Federal Telecommunication Act of 1996
(Public Law 104-104) and the interests of Boston Township in regulating wireless telecommunication
towers and related facilities for the following reasons:

    a. To provide for orderly development within the business corridor of Boston Township.
    b. To protect property values.
    c. To maintain the aesthetic appearance of Boston Township including, but not limited to, its

         unique character, unobstructed open spaces, and attractive commercial and office areas.
    d. To protect residential properties, parks, and open spaces, and the characteristic nature from the

         adverse effects of towers and related facilities.
    e. To promote collocation of wireless telecommunication facilities in order to decrease the total

         number of towers in the Boston Township.
    f. To provide for and protect the health, safety and general welfare of the residents and visitors to

         the Boston Township.
