§ 118-1644. Screening of mechanical systems, equipment and facilities.
Latest version.
Equipment and appurtenances mounted on the tops of buildings shall be screened from
view. Mechanical systems, equipment and facilities such as, but not limited to, utility,
transformers, backflow preventers, condensers, hardware, loading and unloading areas,
dumpsters, exterior storage and work areas, shall be screened from public view or
located at a location that is not visible from public streets or from the parking
area. All screening shall be, at a minimum, the same height as the mechanical systems,
equipment, or facility. Screens shall be compatible to the building, proximate properties
and reflect or complement the architecture, color, and materials of the building as
determined by the city-based upon sound and generally accepted architectural practices
and principles. Landscaping is permitted for at-grade screening as long as it provides
100 percent opacity within 12 months. All outside electrical, telephone, cable and
gas equipment or facilities shall be placed as close to the building as feasible and
screened with landscaping and to the extent practicable such utilities shall be placed
underground.
