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 right-of-way so the WCF is visually unobtrusive.

B. Stealth design requires screening WCFs in order to reduce visual impact. The provider must screen all substantial portions of the facility from view. Such screening should match the color and be of similar finish as the attached support structure.

C. WCFs and their associated equipment must 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 may not extend beyond eighteen inches 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. 2018-10 § 1 (Exh. A (part)); Ord. 2018-01 § 1 (Exh. A (part)). Formerly 5.54.320)
