<br /> Ordinance , Exhibit D: Amended Article 16 <br />Note: underlined and bolded text represents new text; strike through represents text to be eliminated <br />c. Building-mounted and roof-mounted wireless telecommunications facilities, <br />including any screening devices, may not exceed a height of fifteen (15) feet <br />above the roof or parapet, whichever is higher, of the building on which it is <br />mounted unless approved through a Conditional 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 struc- <br />ture. Façade-mounted or flush-mounted wireless telecommunications facili- <br />ties shall not extend more than twenty-four (24) inches out from the building <br />face. If a building-mounted wireless telecommunications facility is mounted <br />flush against a building wall, the color and material of the antenna and other <br />equipment shall match the exterior of the building. If there is a discernible <br />gap between the antenna and the façade, the antenna shall be screened so <br />as to hide the gap. <br /> <br />e. Roof-mounted antennas and associated equipment shall maintain a 1:1 ratio <br />(i.e., a ten (10) foot high antenna requires a ten (10) foot setback from fa- <br />çade; a six (6) foot high cabinet requires a six (6) foot setback from façade) <br />and shall be located as far back from the edge of the roof as is technically <br />feasible in order to minimize visibility from residences, public rights-of-way <br />and significant view corridors. Where appropriate, construction of a rooftop <br />parapet or wall to hide the antenna or equipment may be required to mini- <br />mize visual impacts. Roof-mounted facilities shall also be screened from <br />above, if visible from adjacent properties. <br /> <br />f. Building-mounted facilities and support structures may not be illuminated un- <br />less 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 equip- <br />ment cabinets, shelters and compounds, for all wireless telecommunications <br />facilities shall use materials, colors and textures, screening, and landscaping <br />that will blend the equipment into the natural setting and built environment as <br />much as possible. <br /> <br />b. Related equipment for co-located wireless telecommunications facilities shall <br />be located within an existing equipment enclosure or compound, whenever <br />feasible, or located as close to the existing equipment enclosure or com- <br />pound as possible and shall match the materials, color, and texture of the <br />existing enclosure as much as possible. <br />
