All public utilities and wireless communications facilities sited
in the ROW shall be located, designed, and screened to blend with

replace larger, more visually intrusive facilities with smaller, less
intrusive, and more camouflaged utilities and facilities.

profile, painted flat and nonreflective colors to match the underlying
pole, placed behind existing signs, and oriented away from prominent
views.

All required or permitted signage in the ROW must face toward the
street or otherwise be placed to minimize visibility from adjacent
