Landscaping shall be required to screen, to the greatest extent possible, the support structure, the fence surrounding the support structure and any other ground level features (such as a building), and in general soften the appearance of the personal wireless service facilities. The city may permit any combination of existing vegetation, topography, walls, decorative fences or other features instead of landscaping, if they achieve the same degree of screening. If the antennas are mounted flush on an existing building, and other equipment is housed inside an existing structure, landscaping shall not be required.
