closely compatible with, the background color of the supporting build- ing or structure so as to make them as visually unobtrusive as possi- ble. All ancillary equipment shall be sited and designed to appear as an integral part of the building or structure (see Subsection B.3 “Archi- tecturally-Integrated”). c.e.Building-mounted and roof-mounted wireless telecommunications facili- ties, including any screening devices, may not exceed a height of fifteen (15) feet above the roof or parapet, whichever is higher, of the building on which it is mounted unless approved through a Conditional Use Permit. d. Building-mounted and roof-mounted wireless telecommunications facil- ities located on the façade of the building parapet or rooftop penthouse shall be painted and/or textured to match the background color of the existing structure. Façade-mounted or flush-mounted wireless tele- communications facilities shall not extend more than twenty-four (24) inches out from the building face. If a building-mounted wireless tele- communications facility is mounted flush against a building wall, the color and material of the antenna and other equipment shall match the exterior of the building. If there is a discernible gap between the anten- na and the facade, the antenna shall be screened so as to hide the gap. e. Roof-mounted antennas and associated equipment shall maintain a 1:1 ra- tio (i.e., a ten-foot high antenna requires a ten-foot setback from facade; a six-foot high cabinet requires a six-foot setback from façade) and shall be located as far back from the edge of the roof as is technically feasi- ble in order to minimize visibility from residences, public rights-of-way street locations and significant view corridors. Where appropriate, con- struction of a rooftop parapet or wall to hide the antenna or equipment may be required to minimize visual impacts. Roof-mounted facilities shall al- so be screened from above, if visible from adjacent properties. f. Building-mounted facilities and support structures may not be illumi- nated unless specifically required by the FAA or other governmental agencies. 3. Equipment. a. The ancillary equipment, such as equipment cabinets, shelters and compounds, for all wireless telecommunications facilities shall use ma- terials, colors and textures, screening, and landscaping that will blend the equipment into the natural setting and built environment as much as possible.
