§ 56.44 ELIGIBLE FACILITIES REQUESTS - COLOCATION.

   (A)   General guidelines.

      (1)   Except as otherwise provided in the Historic District Specific Standards, §§ 56.70 through 56.73, the colocation of wireless facilities on existing support structures (that are engineered to accommodate such facilities) is strongly encouraged.

      (2)   Antennas, small cell facilities and any associated concealment materials shall not increase the overall height of the existing wireless support structure by more than five feet.

   (B)   Objective concealment standards.

      (1)   If feasible, installations should use screening methods similar to those used on the existing wireless communications facilities. Use of other appropriate screening methods may be considered.

      (2)   Antenna panels and accessory equipment should be located and arranged on the structure so as to replicate the existing appearance of the installation and any equipment already mounted to the structure.

      (3)   All cabling shall be installed flat against the support structure to the extent possible. The concealment measures applied to the facility should result in an installation consistent with existing concealment elements.
