building on which it is mounted unless approved through a Conditional <br />Use Permit. <br /> <br />d. Building-mounted and roof-mounted wireless telecommunications facilities <br />located on the façade of the building parapet or rooftop penthouse shall be <br />painted and/or textured to match the background color of the existing <br />structure. Façade-mounted or flush-mounted wireless telecommunications <br />facilities shall not extend more than twenty-four (24) inches out from the <br />building face. If a building-mounted wireless telecommunications facility is <br />mounted flush against a building wall, the color and material of the <br />antenna and other equipment shall match the exterior of the building. If <br />there is a discernible gap between the antenna and the façade, the <br />antenna shall be screened so as to hide the gap. <br /> <br />e. Roof-mounted antennas and associated equipment shall maintain a 1:1 <br />ratio (i.e., a ten (10) foot high antenna requires a ten (10) foot setback <br />from façade; a six (6) foot high cabinet requires a six (6) foot setback from <br />façade) and shall be located as far back from the edge of the roof as is <br />technically feasible in order to minimize visibility from residences, public <br />rights-of-way and significant view corridors. Where appropriate, <br />construction of a rooftop parapet or wall to hide the antenna or equipment <br />may be required to minimize visual impacts. Roof-mounted facilities shall <br />also be screened from above, if visible from adjacent properties. <br /> <br />f. Building-mounted facilities and support structures may not be illuminated <br />unless specifically required by the FAA or other governmental agencies. <br /> <br />3. Equipment. <br /> <br />a. The ancillary equipment associated with the base station, such as <br />equipment cabinets, shelters and compounds, for all wireless <br />telecommunications facilities shall use materials, colors and textures, <br />screening, and landscaping that will blend the equipment into the natural <br />setting and built environment as much as possible. <br /> <br />b. Related equipment for co-located wireless telecommunications facilities <br />shall be located within an existing equipment enclosure or compound, <br />whenever feasible, or located as close to the existing equipment enclosure <br />or compound as possible and shall match the materials, color, and texture <br />of the existing enclosure as much as possible. <br /> <br />4. Noise. Wireless telecommunications facilities operating in excess of the <br />maximum sound levels permitted by the City’s Noise Ordinance shall be <br />enclosed to achieve compliance with the Noise Ordinance.
