ANTENNA REGULATIONS The Commission discussed the issues
raised by staff in conjunction with
antenna regulations, with the concen-
sus that: (1) Ham radio antennas
should be permitted on multi -family and RPD units. (2) Antennas used
commercially should not be considered home occupations, but should re-
quire a conditional use permit. (3) Antennas between 45 and 75 feet
should require a Minor Exception Permit procedure. (4) Temporary an-
tenna structures should be defined in Glossary; temporary structures
erected for 30 days or less should be exempt from permit procedures.
(5) Changes in antenna structures should be handled by a revision to
the original Minor Exception Permit, if the new array is of substantially
the same dimensions; if different, a new permit should be required.
(6) More than two antennas under 45' should require a Minor Exception
Permit;,more than two antennas over 451 should require a Variance.
