The zoning administrator, upon making a finding that the proposed personal wireless service facility meets all applicable provisions of this chapter, shall approve or conditionally approve the design review application for the personal wireless service facility. The zoning administrator may refer any personal wireless service application to the planning commission for review and action. B. All property owners within 300 feet of a property on which a personal wireless service facility is proposed shall be notified of the personal wireless service facility application by mail. Notice is not required where a facility's antennas will be concealed as described in Section 18.110.050 within the architecture of a building. Public hearings can be requested as provided in Section 18.20.040(B)(2) of this title. 18.110.050 Locational standards. A. Locational Priorities.

Camouflaged Facility. If it is not feasible to conceal a facility, personal wireless facilities shall be camouflaged in a manner that the facility is designed to be compatible with the surroundings. By way of example, 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. c. If a facility is concealed, the antennas and accessory equipment may be placed anywhere on the property without regard to separation from other uses. d. If a facility is camouflaged (and not concealed), the facility must be located a minimum of 200 feet 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.
