(b) Height Measurement.
(1) Ground-mounted Antennas. For ground-mounted antennas, the height of the antenna structure shall be measured from the lowest ground surface at the base of the tower to the top of the tower or to the top of any extension to the tower.
(2) Antennas Mounted on Structures Other than Towers. For antennas mounted on structures other than towers, the height of the antenna shall be measured from the top of the structure on which the antenna is mounted to the top of the antenna or screening, whichever is higher. The combined height of the structure and the antenna shall not exceed the height limitations indicated in § 84.27.030 (Structure Height), above, unless a variance is processed and approved in compliance with Chapter 85.17 (Variances).
