Any utility pole extension or wireless support structure extension shall not be wood and shall blend with the color of the utility pole or wireless support structure upon which such extension is mounted. Any new utility pole or replacement utility pole shall not be wood, unless agreed to otherwise by the applicant and the city, and shall blend with the color, style, and structure of any surrounding utility poles or wireless support structures.
(D) Size. The applicant shall make good faith efforts to ensure the silhouette of a small wireless facility and its related equipment and appurtenances are reduced to minimize visual impact.
