Telecommunication Facilities
The use and installation of telecommunication facilities is

landscape is often undesired. Telecommunication facilities should
be located and designed to minimize their impact on the scenic
qualities of Healdsburg.

surrounding environment.
a. Consider integrating a telecommunication facility into
a common site feature, such as a water tower or a large
tree.

7.24 Screen a wireless telecommunication facility.
a. Consider the use of trees, native vegetation and other
screening vegetation to minimize the appearance of the
wireless telecommunication facility within the natural
landscape.
b. Where an enclosure or screening wall is incorporated,
architecturally integrate them into the surrounding
buildings.

Locate a telecommunication
facility to minimize its visibility
and to minimize the number of
facilities. The above proposal
for a telecommunication facility
incorporates the facility into a
water tank, and is located in a
way that does not disrupt scenic
corridors.
