<br />18.110.070 <br /> <br />Stealth Techniques <br /> <br />A. All personal wireless service facilities shall be located so as to minimize their <br />visibility and, unless determined by the Zoning Administrator to be hidden from view, <br />designed to ensure that they will not appear as an antenna facility. To minimize visual <br />impacts, all personal wireless service facilities shall incorporate appropriate stealth <br />techniques to camouflage, disguise and/or blend them into the surrounding environment. <br />Personal wireless service facilities should be in scale and architecturally integrated with <br />surrounding building design(s) or natural setting in such a manner as to be visually <br />unobtrusive. <br /> <br />B. Antennas mounted on structures or on architectural details of a building shall <br />be treated to match existing architectural features and colors found on the building. <br />Facade-mounted antennas shall be integrated into the building's architecture through <br />design, color, and texture. <br /> <br />C. Roof-mounted antennas shall be located in an area of the roof where the visual <br />impact is minimized. Roof-mounted and ground-mounted antennas shall not be allowed <br />when they are placed in direct line of sight of significant view corridors or where they <br />adversely affect scenic vistas, unless facilities incorporate appropriate, creative stealth <br />techniques to camouflage, disguise and/or blend them into the surrounding environment, <br />as determined by the Zoning Administrator. <br /> <br />D. Above ground and partially buried equipment cabinets shall be located where <br />they will be the least visible from surrounding properties and public places. Above <br />ground and partially buried equipment cabinets shall require screening from surrounding <br />properties and public view. Any visible portion of an equipment cabinet shall be treated <br />to be architecturally compatible with surrounding structures and/or screened using <br />appropriate techniques to camouflage, disguise and/or blend it into the environment. If <br />the Zoning Administrator determines that an equipment cabinet is not or can not be <br />adequately screened from adjacent properties or from public view or architecturally <br />treated to blend in with the environment, the equipment cabinet shall be placed <br />underground or inside the existing buildings where the antenna is located. <br /> <br />18.110.080 <br /> <br />Height <br /> <br />A. The height of a personal wireless service facility shall include the height of any <br />structure upon which it is placed. <br /> <br />B. The height of a personal wireless service facility shall be based on a visual <br />analysis demonstrating that views of the facility are minimized or are substantially <br />screened from residential land uses, or other sensitive land uses such as parks, schools, or <br />major streets, and on an engineering analysis justifying the height of the proposed <br />personal wireless service facility. <br /> <br />RZ-97-7 Page 13 <br />3/25/98 <br />RZ977A4.sam/RKE <br />
