The requirements of this chapter apply to all mobile service support structures and mobile service facilities erected, constructed, placed, modified or replaced in the city. They shall be designed and situated to be visually unobtrusive, to minimize the impact upon neighboring uses, and shall conform to the following design and siting criteria:
A. Accessory Equipment Structures: All accessory equipment structures adjacent to an antenna system and/or tower shall be screened or architecturally designed to blend in with the surrounding environment and shall meet the minimum setback requirements of the applicable zoning district.
B. Fencing: When deemed necessary by the zoning board of appeals, appropriate safety fencing shall be incorporated into the site.
C. Landscaping And Screening: When deemed necessary by the zoning board of appeals or when required by this code, proper landscaping and screening shall be incorporated into the site.

E. Roof Mounted Antennas: Roof mounted antennas shall not be permitted on buildings with pitched roofs, unless they are stealth antennas incorporated into upward thrusting architectural elements, such as a church steeple, spire or bell tower, smokestack, or radio tower. On flat roofs, the height of the antenna and mounting hardware may not be more than fifteen feet (15') above the height of the building to which the antenna is attached, as the term "height of a building" is defined at section 10-1-4 of this title.
F. Structurally Mounted Antennas: Antennas mounted on the sides of buildings shall be attached flush with the side of the building, and shall not protrude more than three feet (3') from the side of the building.
