§ 20.33.090. Design standards for attached WCFs.

The following requirements apply to attached WCFs:

1.

Maximum Height. Attached WCFs/antennas shall not exceed twenty-eight feet in height above the building roof or top of an existing structure on which it is mounted.

2.

Wall Mounted. If the antenna is mounted on a wall, it shall be as flush to the wall as technically possible.

3.

Architectural Compatibility, Screening and Camouflaging. The antenna shall be architecturally compatible with the building and wall on which it is mounted, and shall be constructed, finished or fully screened to match as closely as possible the color and texture of the building and wall. Such facilities will be considered architecturally and visually compatible if they are camouflaged to disguise the WCF or designed to blend with the building on which it is mounted.

4.

Equipment Structures. Equipment structures mounted on a building roof shall either be hidden from view at ground level off-site or have a finish/texture similar to the exterior building walls. Equipment for an attached antenna may also be located within the building on which the antenna is mounted. Any ground equipment that is not buried shall be located and screened (see Section 20.33.080) to minimize visibility from adjacent properties and rights-of-way.

5.

Signals, Lights, and Signs. No signals, lights or signs shall be permitted on an attached WCF unless required by the FCC or FAA (see Section 20.33.080(6)(d)). If lights are necessary, they shall be of a type that has the least visual impact for people at ground level, as determined by the approval authority.

6.

Outdoor Storage. Outdoor storage of motor vehicles or materials associated with the WCF is prohibited.
