A flag shall be flown from the wireless facility and properly lighted and maintained at all times, in accordance with the U.S. Flag Code. e.b. Freestanding At a towers and ground-mounted facility sites, the design of the shall incorporate ancillary buildings and equipment, such as relat- ed structures, equipment shelters that, 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. f.d. Freestanding tTowers and ground-mounted facilities shall not be artifi- cially lighted, unless required by the FAA or other applicable authority or un- less they contain a U.S. Flag. If lighting is required, the Zoning Enforce- ment Official Board of Zoning Adjustments may review the available lighting alternatives and approve the design that would cause the least disturbance to the surrounding views.

Freestanding towers and alternative tower structures shall incorporate coaxial cable and electrical and telco conduits inside the pole structure and underground, whenever feasible. 2. Building-Mounted Facilities a. Building-mounted wireless telecommunications facilities shall be ar- chitecturally-integrated into the building design and otherwise made as unobtrusive as possible, whenever feasible. Antennas shall be located entirely within an existing or newly created architectural feature so as to be completely screened from view. Where feasible, antennas can be placed directly above, below or incorporated with the vertical design elements of a building and painted to match the background color of the building to help in camouflaging the facility (see Subsection B.3 “Architecturally-Integrated”. b. Building-mounted designs shall ensure that the antenna(s) and ancil- lary equipment, such as cable trays and coaxial cables and electrical and telco conduits are located within existing building walls, whenever feasible, or inside cable trays painted a color that is identical to, or Exhibit G: Proposed Amended Article16 Page 54 Note: underline and bolded text represents new text; strike-through text represents text to be eliminated
