(9) Trees and Landscaping. Wireless facilities shall not be installed (in whole or in part) within any tree drip line. All wireless facilities proposed to be placed in a landscaped area should include landscape and/or hardscape features (which may include, without limitation, trees, shrubs and ground cover) and a landscape maintenance plan. The existing native vegetation shall be maintained to the maximum extent feasible. The approval authority may require additional landscape or hardscape features to screen the wireless facility from public view, avoid or mitigate potential adverse impacts on adjacent properties or otherwise enhance the stealth techniques required under this policy. All plants proposed or required must be native and/or drought-resistant and consistent with any landscaping requirements for the underlying zone and are further subject to approval by the approval authority. (10) Signage; Decals; Advertisements. All wireless facilities must include signage that accurately identifies the equipment owner/operator, the owner/operator's site name or identification number and a 24 hours-per-day, seven day-per- week, toll-free telephone number to the owner/operator's network operations center. Wireless facilities may not bear any other signage, decals or advertisements unless expressly approved by the approval authority, required by law or recommended under FCC or other governmental agencies for compliance with RF emissions regulations. (11) Security Measures. To prevent unauthorized access, theft, vandalism, attractive nuisance or other hazards, reasonable and appropriate security measures, such as locks, fences, walls, removable climbing pegs and anti- climbing devices, may be approved. Security measures shall be designed and implemented in a manner that enhances or contributes to the overall stealth techniques, and the approval authority may condition approval on additional stealth elements to mitigate any aesthetic impacts, which may include, without limitation, additional landscape or hardscape features. Barbed wire, razor ribbon, electrified fences or any similar security measures are prohibited. Cabinets and equipment shelters must be kept secured to prevent unauthorized access. (12) Fire Safety. All wireless facilities shall include (A) a power shut off immediately accessible to fire service personnel, through a Knox box or similar rapid-access system approved by the Fire Safety Authority, upon arrival at the scene of a fire and/or anticipated power surge due to power being turned off or on for any reason; (B) surge protection devices capable of mitigating a direct or partial direct lightning discharge; (C) surge protection devices capable of mitigating significant electrical disturbances that may enter the wireless facility via conductive cables; (D) at least one-hour fire resistant interior surfaces to be used in the composition of all structures; and (E) monitored automatic fire notification and suppression systems for all wireless facilities as approved by the applicable Fire Safety Authority.
