specific information about the location, height, and design of each tower. The Planning Division may share such information with other applicants applying for administrative approvals or special use permits under this ordinance or other organizations seeking to locate antennas within the jurisdiction of the City, provided, however, that the Planning Division is not, by sharing such information, in any way representing or warranting that such sites are available or suitable. 4. Aesthetics: Lighting. The guidelines set forth in this Subsection CA. shall govern the location of all towers, and the installation of all antennas, governed by this Section; provided, however, that the Board of Zoning Adjustments may waive these requirements if it determines that the goals of this Section are better served thereby. (a) Towers shall either maintain a galvanized steel finish or, subject to any applicable standards of the FAA, be painted • a neutral color, so as to reduce visual obtrusiveness. (b) At a tower site, the design of the buildings and related structures shall, to the extent possible, use materials, colors, textures, screening, and landscaping that will blend the tower facilities to the natural setting and built environment. (c) If an antenna is installed on a structure other than a tower, the antenna and supporting electrical and mechanical equipment must be of a neutral color that is identical to, or closely compatible with, die color of the supporting structure so as to make the antenna and related equipment as visually unobtrusive as possible; and must be sited and designed to appear as an integral part of the structure, to the extent feasible. (d) Towers shall not be artificially lighted, unless required by the FAA or other applicable authority. If lighting is required, the Board of Zoning Adjustments may review the available lighting alternatives and approve the design that would cause the least disturbance to the surrounding views. 10 • •
