§ 18.41.140. Height.

(a)

All wireless telecommunication facilities shall be designed to the minimum functional height required.

(b)

Unless otherwise noted in this chapter, wireless telecommunications facility height shall not exceed the maximum allowable building height for the zone in which the facility is located by more than ten feet. If no maximum building height is established in the this chapter, the height of the facility shall be reviewed for the visual impact on the surrounding land uses and the community.

(c)

The height of a wireless telecommunication tower shall be measured from the natural, undisturbed ground surface below the center of the base of said tower to the top of the tower itself or, if higher, the tip of the highest antenna or piece of equipment attached thereto.

(d)

The planning commission may approve an increase in height upon making the determination that the additional height is necessary to meet the technical requirements of the facility at a specific location and that the health, safety and general welfare of the public warrants the increase in height.
