A. Visual Impact:
1. Site location and development shall preserve the preexisting character of surrounding buildings, land uses, and the zoning classification, to the maximum extent feasible commensurate with the necessary operation of the wireless communication facility. It is intended that the wireless communication support structure be integrated, through location and design, to blend in with the existing characteristics of the site to the maximum extent practical.
2. Existing on site vegetation shall be preserved and augmented to appropriately screen the facility.
3. Disturbance of existing topography shall be minimized, unless such terrain modification, upon completion, would result in a lesser visual impact upon existing uses surrounding the project site.
B. Noise: As part of any wireless communication facility proposal, the service provider or its representative shall furnish the city with information regarding the operating decibel (dB) level of the proposed installation, as measured at the property line nearest the proposed location, to ensure that noise levels acceptable for adjacent uses would not be compromised by such installation.
