Wireless telecommunication facilities shall not be artificially illuminated except as required by the FAA or FCC, and except for motion-detector operated security lights on any associated equipment enclosure. Freestanding towers shall maintain a galvanized steel finish or be painted sky blue or gray, except as otherwise required by the FAA or FCC. Unless the tower compound is screened by any means from adjacent streets, residential dwellings, and residential zoning districts, the design of equipment enclosures shall, to the extent possible, use materials and colors that are compatible with the natural and built environment of the surrounding area. Antennas mounted as an accessory on a building, water tower, lighting standard, electric utility transmission tower, or other tall structure having another primary function shall be identical in color or closely compatible with the color of the adjacent portion of the supporting structure so as to make the antenna as visually unobtrusive as possible.
