Visual Impact Analysis
Each application shall include a visual impact analysis that contains an assessment of the proposed facility's visual impact on abutting properties and streets, taking into consideration any PWSF structure that is to be constructed, as well as the rest of the facility. The visual impact analysis shall, at a minimum, include the following:
 
(1)  Small wireless facilities:
(a) Line-of-sight drawings.
(b) Detailed elevation maps.
(c) Visual simulations, including photographic images, depicting the height at which the proposed facility shall stand when completed (including all portions and attachments to the facility), taken from the perspectives of the public right-of-way, and of any properties situated in closest proximity to the location being proposed for the facility siting. Photos should also be taken from the perspectives of any properties that would reasonably be expected to sustain significant adverse aesthetic impacts due to their elevation relative to the site, or due to the facility location and the property location.
(d) Before and after renderings.
(e) Alternate facility designs and color schemes.
(f) Possible impacts to any important/scenic views listed in the Tompkins County or Town of Ithaca Scenic Resources Inventories.
 
(2) Personal wireless service facilities which do not meet the definition of a "small wireless facility":
(a) A visibility map to determine locations from where the facility will be seen.
(b) Line-of-sight drawings.
(c) Detailed elevation maps.
(d) Visual simulations, including photographic images, depicting the height at which the proposed facility shall stand when completed, taken from the perspectives of the public right-of-way, and of any properties situated in closest proximity to the location being proposed for the facility siting. Photos should also be taken from the perspectives of any properties that would reasonably be expected to sustain significant adverse aesthetic impacts due to their elevation relative to the site, or due to the facility location and the property location.
(e) Before-and-after renderings.
(f) Alternate facility designs and color schemes.
(g) Possible impacts to any important/scenic views listed in the Tompkins County or Town of Ithaca Scenic Resources Inventories.
