(A) Preexisting towers. Preexisting towers shall be allowed to continue their usage as they presently exist. Routine maintenance shall be permitted on preexisting towers. New construction or modifications other than routine maintenance on a preexisting tower shall comply with the requirements of this chapter.
(B) Rebuilding damaged or destroyed nonconforming towers or antennas. Notwithstanding § 120.09, bona fide nonconforming towers or antennas that are damaged or destroyed by more than 50% of their replacement value may be rebuilt without having to first obtain administrative approval or a special use permit and without having to meet the separation requirements specified in §§ 120.18 and 120.19. The type, height, and location of the tower onsite shall be of the same type and intensity as the original facility approval unless the tower otherwise complies with this chapter or a special use permit approval is granted. Building permits to rebuild the facility shall comply with the then applicable building codes and shall be obtained within 180 days from the date the facility is damaged or destroyed. If no permit is obtained or if said permit expires, the tower or antenna shall be deemed abandoned as specified in § 120.20.
