(A) In accordance with the Federal Communications Commission’s preemptive ruling PRB 1, towers erected for the primary purpose of supporting amateur radio antennas may exceed thirty-five (35) feet in height within residential zoning districts. Such towers are subject to the site plan review process prior to installation. It shall be the responsibility of the applicant to provide the technical information necessary to demonstrate that the proposed height is necessary to successfully engage in effective amateur radio communications at the proposed location. Towers which exceed thirty-five (35) feet in height when fully extended but are collapsible to thirty-five (35) feet or less in height are exempt from the site plan review process.
(B) Towers supporting amateur radio antennas in residential zoning districts and conforming to all applicable provisions of this subchapter shall be allowed in the front, rear or side yards; however, the fall zone must not overlay on any primary residential structure of an abutting property or public right-of-way.
