All wireless facilities subject to the provisions of this article shall comply with the following development standards:
A. Antenna arrays on wireless antenna facilities that are proposed to be sited on an existing building or support structure must be integrated with the architectural design and coloring of that existing building or support structure.
B. The siting of new support structures is subject to the following additional requirement:
1. No new support structure in a residential land use zone will be permitted unless the reviewing authority makes the additional finding that, based upon evidence submitted by the applicant, no existing nonresidential building or support structure can reasonably accommodate the proposed wireless antenna facility. Evidence supporting this finding will be reviewed by the reviewing authority and may consist of any of the following:
a. No existing nonresidential buildings or support structures are located within the geographic area proposed to be served by the applicant's facility.
b. Existing nonresidential buildings or support structures are not of sufficient height or structural strength to meet the applicant's operational or engineering requirements.
c. The applicant's proposed facility in a nonresidential land use zone would create electromagnetic interference with another facility on an existing structure, or the existing antenna array on an existing building or support structure would create interference with the applicant's proposed antenna array.
d. The costs, fees, or contractual provisions required by a property owner, or by an incumbent wireless service provider, in order to colocate a new antenna array on an existing nonresidential building or support structure, or to adapt an existing nonresidential building or support structure for the location of the new antenna array, are unreasonable.
e. There are other limiting factors that render existing nonresidential buildings and support structures unsuitable for use by the applicant.
C. If a new support structure for a facility will be visible from adjacent residential properties or from major arterial streets, the reviewing authority may require that the support structure be screened or camouflaged to mitigate adverse visual impacts.
D. All accessory equipment for any wireless facility subject to the provisions of this article shall be fully enclosed within a cabinet, pedestal, shelter, or other similar protective structure.
E. If a proposed facility will be visible from a residential area or an arterial street, any required fencing must be of a decorative material satisfactory to the director of planning and community development.
F. A new, freestanding support structure must be separated from a building on the same site by a distance that is at least equal to the height of that support structure, unless that building houses equipment accessory to that support structure.
G. A new support structure that is to be located near a residential use or the boundary of a residential zoning district must be set back from the nearest residential lot line or boundary a distance that is at least equal to the height of that support structure.
H. The exterior of a new support structure must have a noncorrosive, nonmetallic finish that is not conducive to reflection or glare. The support structure, the antenna array, and the accessory equipment facility must all be of a neutral color.
I. Buildings and support structures may not be illuminated unless specifically required by the federal aviation administration or other governmental agencies.
J. No off premises or on premises signs may be placed by a wireless service provider on a building or support structure to which a wireless antenna facility is attached except as required by the appropriate governmental authority to provide public safety related emergency contact information.
