On-site mechanical equipment, whether roof mounted or ground mounted, shall be, to the extent possible, screened from the public view, including from hilltop areas. Screening material shall complement and be consistent with the overall architectural and landscape theme of the project. Where public visibility will be minimal, the director of planning and community development may permit use of landscaping to screen ground mounted equipment. No mechanical equipment, including electrical transformers, shall be located in any required setback area.
