All telecommunications facilities shall be located so as to minimize their visibility and the number of distinct facilities present. To this end all of the following measures shall be implemented:

A. No telecommunications facility shall be installed within the safety zone of any airport or helipad unless the operator indicates that it will not adversely affect the operation of the airport;

B. No telecommunications facility shall be installed at a location where special painting or lighting will be required by the FAA regulations unless technical evidence acceptable to the Planning Director or Planning Commission, as appropriate, is submitted showing that this is the only technically feasible location for this facility;

C. No telecommunications facility shall be installed on an exposed ridgeline, in or at a location readily visible from a public trail, public park or other outdoor recreation area, or on property designated with a W (Wetland) or ESOS (Environmental and Scenic Open Space Combining District), unless the Planning Commission makes a finding upon issuance of the conditional use permit that it blends with the surrounding existing natural and manmade environment in such a manner as to be effectively unnoticeable and that no other location is technically feasible;

D. No telecommunications facility that is readily visible from off site shall be installed closer than one-quarter mile from another readily visible uncamouflaged or unscreened telecommunications facility unless it is a collocated facility, situated on a multiple-user site, or blends with the surrounding existing natural and manmade environment in such a manner as to be effectively unnoticeable;

E. No telecommunications facility that is readily visible from off site shall be installed on a site that is not already developed with telecommunications facilities or other public or quasi-public uses unless it blends with the surrounding existing natural and manmade environment acceptable to the Planning Director or Planning Commission, as appropriate, and information is submitted showing a clear need for this facility and the infeasibility of collocating it on one of these former sites; and

F. Telecommunications towers shall be set back at least 20 percent of the tower height from all property lines and at least 100 feet from any public trail, park, Laguna buffer setback, or property line.

G. No commercial minor antenna greater than 35 feet in height and no major telecommunication facility may be installed within 75 feet of any property line of a parcel with a residential dwelling unit which is within 75 feet of said property line. (Ord. 1123 § 3 (Exh. A § 4), 2019)
