Site Selection Guidelines and Criteria. <br />(a) The Director may authorize support structures within the public right of way <br />only with a finding that such support structure is required to fill a significant gap and is <br />less intrusive than placement on a primary use in terms of visibility, access or <br />aesthetics. <br />(b) Traffic Obstruction. The placement of the telecommunication facility shall <br />not permanently impede vehicular or pedestrian traffic flow; <br />(c) No modification to above-ground or at-grade telecommunication facilities, <br />including those related to size, color and shape of the housing, may be made by the <br />applicant without first having obtained approval of the Director. <br />(d) To the maximum extent feasible, all appurtenant equipment, including <br />radio base station, electrical panel, and control panel assembly, shall be placed below <br />ground. Where feasible, as new technology becomes available, the applicant shall <br />place an existing or proposed above-ground telecommunication facility below ground. <br />Sec. 33-242. Visual Impact Guidelines. <br />(a) Unobtrusive Design. Telecommunication Facilities shall be designed to be <br />as visually unobtrusive as feasible. Colors and designs must be visually neutral, <br />integrated and compatible with surrounding buildings and/or uses in the area. Facilities <br />shall be sited to avoid or minimize obstruction of views from adjacent properties and <br />otherwise preserve the aesthetic integrity of the public right of way. <br />75A-11
