18.395.020 Definitions

For purpose of this Chapter, and where consistent with the context of a specific Section, the defined terms, phrases, words and abbreviations and their derivations shall have the meanings given in this Section.

Stealth Or Stealth Technology

Stealth or “Stealth Technology” means using the least visually and physically intrusive facility by minimizing adverse aesthetic and visual impacts on the land, property, buildings and other facilities adjacent to, surrounding, and generally in the same area as the requested Site of a Communications Facility. Specifically, this means ensuring that all Antenna arrays, cables, and other Accessory Facilities used for providing the Wireless Service are not obtrusive or noticeably visible from adjacent properties or adjacent right-of-ways. Any Accessory Facilities mounted onto a Tower or structure shall not project greater than one (1) foot, as measured horizontally, from the surface of the Tower or structure and shall be painted or screened with materials that are a complementary color as the Tower or structure. Cables shall not be allowed to travel along the exterior of a Tower or structure. Understanding that new technologies are anticipated to change the components of Communications Facilities, the Director may determine if a Communications Facility or component of a Communications Facility is designed to be Stealth.
