A. Stealth design is required and concealment techniques must be appropriate given the proposed location, design, visual environment, and nearby uses, structures, and natural features. Stealth design shall be designed and constructed to substantially conform to surrounding utility poles, light poles, or other similar support structures in the rights-of-way so the WCF is visually unobtrusive.
B. Stealth design requires screening WCFs in order to reduce visual impact. The provider shall screen all substantial portions of the facility from view. Such screening shall match the color and be of similar finish of the attached support structure.
C. WCFs and their associated equipment shall be installed flush with any pole or support structure, including antennas mounted directly above the top of an existing pole or support structure, and the furthest point of an antenna or equipment shall not extend beyond eighteen inches (18") from the pole or support structure except if the pole owner requires use of a standoff to comply with Federal, State, or local rules, regulations, or laws. Any required standoff may not defeat stealth design and concealment techniques.
D. Stealth and concealment techniques do not include incorporating faux-tree designs of a kind that are not native to the State. (Ord. 77-2018, 8-28-2018)
