Towers shall conform with each of the following minimum setback requirements.
(A) In residentially zoned areas, the required setback for antenna and tower not rigidly attached to a building shall be not less than the height of the antenna and tower, or the setback requirements under §§ 153.045 et seq., whichever is greater.
(B) Non-residentially zoned areas, the required setback from adjacent property, street or existing or planned public right-of-way for the tower shall not be less than the height of the tower, including all antenna and other attachments, or the setback under §§ 153.045 et seq., whichever is greater.
(C) Towers shall not be located between a principal structure and a public right-of-way, with the following exceptions: in industrial zoning districts, towers may be placed within a side yard abutting an internal industrial public right-of-way or easement;
(D) An exception to the setback requirement under this section, and §§ 153.045 et seq., shall be allowed in industrial districts, where towers may encroach into the rear setback area, provided that the rear property line abuts another industrially zoned property and the tower does not encroach upon any easement;
(E) In its sole discretion, the City Council may reduce a tower setback otherwise required by ordinance for the purpose of allowing integration of a tower into an existing or proposed structure such as a church steeple, light standard, power line support device, or similar structure, where credible engineering data presented by the applicant demonstrates no safety risk from the setback modification.
