§ 17.34.5. Conditions of approval.

In determining whether to grant or deny approval for a wireless communications facility, the Planning Commission or Zoning Administrator may attach such conditions as are necessary to ensure visual and land use compatibility with the surroundings, to protect existing vegetation and to minimize the proliferation of such facilities, including but not limited to:

A.

The wireless communications facility shall have a nonreflective finish and be painted to be compatible with surrounding architecture and landscaping to minimize visual impacts;

B.

If not screened from view, equipment enclosures shall be compatible with the design scale, materials, colors and landscaping of other existing structures on the site;

C.

Stealth design of antennas shall be required as necessary to minimize visual impact;

D.

Additional landscaping or other screening shall be provided;

E.

Existing and proposed landscaping around the proposed facility, as identified in the project plans, shall be maintained in good condition (including installation of an irrigation system, if necessary) for as long as the facility is in place; landscaping on the applicant's site which helps to screen the wireless communications facility from off-site views, as identified on the project plans, shall not be removed, trimmed or altered in any way, unless such removal or trimming is deemed necessary by a certified arborist to protect the health of the landscaping; if removal or trimming is deemed necessary, additional landscaping may be required;

F.

Within one month after construction of the wireless communications facility, and on an annual basis thereafter, testing of total RF emissions shall be conducted to verify compliance with FCC regulations. Such testing shall be conducted during normal business hours on a nonholiday weekday with the wireless communications facility operating at maximum power and shall measure the total emissions from the subject cell site.
