Design Review Findings
15-44.025
The Planning Commission shall not grant design review approval unless it is able to make the following findings:
a)That the Wireless Telecommunications Facility is or can be co-located with another Wireless Telecommunications Facility located on a structure or an existing utility pole/tower in the public right-of-way unless the applicant has demonstrated that such location is not technically or operationally feasible.
b)That the Wireless Telecommunications Facility and related structures incorporate architectural treatments and screening to substantially include:
1.Appropriate and innovative stealth design solutions;
2.Techniques to blend with the surrounding environment and predominant background;
3.Colors and materials that are non-reflective;
4.Exterior textures to match the existing support structure or building; and
5.Reasonably compatible height with the existing surrounding environment.
c)That landscaping and fencing provide visual screening of the Wireless Communication Facility's ground-mounted equipment, related structures, and that fencing material is compatible with the image and aesthetics of the surrounding area.
