18.70.110 Request to use nonconcealed facilities attached to a building in lieu of a concealed building attachment.
The use of concealed building facilities shall have first priority in all residential and commercial zones. However, an applicant may request to construct a nonconcealed building-attached wireless communication facility in lieu of a concealed wireless communication facility. The Director will use the following criteria to determine whether to allow this request:
(1) Due to the size of the building and the proposed location of the antennas, the visual impact of the exposed antennas will be minimal in relation to the building.
(2) Cables are concealed from view and any visible cables are reduced in visibility by sheathing or painting to match the building where they are located.
(3) Equipment enclosure is adequately screened from view.
(4) Due to the style or design of the building the use of a concealed facility would reduce the visual appearance of the building.
(5) The proposal meets the development standards of CMC 18.70.120. (Ord. 03-19 § 3 (Exh. B); Ord. 09-12 § 1 (Exh. A))
