All wireless telecommunications facilities, including maintenance and service operations, unless otherwise stated in the Article, must be screened from view of adjacent residential areas and public rights-of-way.

The Executive Director or Metropolitan Planning Commission may choose to not require landscaping for sites that are not visible from the City public right-of-way or adjacent property or in instances where in the judgment of the Executive Director or Metropolitan Planning Commission, landscaping is not appropriate or necessary because of the fencing materials being used to screen the equipment compound or for other reasons.
