These regulations only apply to
non-commercial antennas
that are an accessory structure to a
dwelling.
All other types of
non-commercial antennas
are regulated as a
wireless communication facility
(see Section 8107-45).
No
non-commercial antenna
or mast shall exceed seventy-five (75) feet in height measured from the
grade
to the highest point of the
antenna
or mast. The crank-up variety of ham radio
antennas
should be used. All units should be color-coordinated to harmonize with predominant
structural background material, so as to reduce visual impacts. Where feasible, both
the
antennas
and support structures shall be screened from public view. The most unobtrusive locations
for the
antennas
are generally in the rear yard, behind trees and adjacent to main or accessory buildings
in order to provide background screening for the support structure. The height, nature,
texture and color of all materials to be used for the installation, including landscape
materials, shall be submitted with the permit application.
Non-commercial antennas
shall not be constructed, placed, or installed on a structure, site or district designated
by a federal, state, or County agency as an historical landmark or site of merit unless
that facility is designed to meet the Secretary of the Interior (SOI) Standards. If
the facility does not meet the SOI standards, then the Cultural Heritage Board must
determine that the proposed facility will have no significant, adverse effect on the
historical resource.
