b. Requirement to Conceal or Camouflage For new facilities that are proposed in the C, 0, I, or M-U (first priority), carriers are required to "conceal" the facility, where feasible. Concealed is defined as a facility that is concealed from view and shall not be visible by persons at ground level. The ordinance explains that a facility would be considered concealed if it is "contained within new or existing architectural details of a building, e.g., real or faux clock or bell tower, or on the roof of a building and concealed by parapets or screenwalls, or concealed by any other means so long as the project does not substantially compromise the aesthetics of the building." If a proposed facility is "concealed", then "the antennas and equipment may be placed anywhere on the property without regard to separation from other uses." In other words, if a carrier can conceal a facility within the C, 0, I, or M-U zones, then there are no buffer zones or other requirements to distance the facility from another use. If a facility cannot be concealed, then it must be "camouflaged". The ordinance defines "camouflaged" as a facility that is "designed to be compatible with the surroundings." The ordinance provides examples and explains that "antennas may be camouflaged in a faux tree, faux bush, flagpole, or otherwise designed in a manner to be compatible with the appurtenant architecture, building, or natural surroundings." The ordinance maintains "buffer zones" around certain uses for those facilities that are camouflaged instead of concealed. Camouflaged facilities "must be located a minimum of 300' away from the following: existing dwelling units (but not accessory structures, detached garages, sheds, poolhouses, etc.); senior care or nursing homes and assisted living facilities; public or private schools for children (including nursery schools); and neighborhood parks, community parks, or regional parks, as designated in the General Plan."2 The second locational priority (for A, P, and P&1) encourages, but does not require, facilities to be concealed. If a facility is concealed then there are no buffer zones or other requirements to distance the facility from a particular use. At a minimum, all facilities must be camouflaged and may not be located within 300 feet of: existing dwelling units (but not accessory structures, detached garages, sheds, poolhouses, etc.); senior care or nursing homes and assisted living facilities; public or private schools for children (including nursery schools); and neighborhood parks, community parks, or regional parks, as designated in the General Plan." c. Iron Horse Trail Between Santa Rita Road and Mohr Avenue The locational standards also include a provision to clarify that wireless facilities may continue to be located in a segment of the Iron Horse Trail between Santa Rita Road and Mohr Avenue where there is one existing and one approved 2 Table 6-1 of the General Plan identifies 53 locations as"neighborhood,community,and regional parks". The 300' distance requirements would apply to each of these locations for camouflaged facilities. Page 7 of 10
