Architectural Design Board Review Required: As shown, it appears that this proposal can be administratively
reviewed for design by planning staff with the building permit due to the screening proposed. ECDC 20.50.010.D
states “The micro facility shall be exempt from review by the architectural design board if the antenna and related
components are the same color as the existing building, pole or support structure on which it is proposed to be
located.”
Comprehensive Plan Designation: “Public,” also located within the “Downtown and Waterfront Activity Center.”
Guidelines in Comprehensive Plan: Urban Design Objectives, pages 72-80 especially C.12 (shown below) Design
Objectives for Site Utilities, Storage, Trash and Mechanical:
C.12.a Hide unsightly utility boxes, outdoor storage of equipment, supplies, garbage, recycling and
composting.
C.12.b Minimize noise and odor.
C.12.c Minimize visual intrusion.
