Height restriction <br />r <br />Limiting height can ensure that 300+ foot towers will not be <br />built. The trade off is more, lower (150 foot) towers. <br />Clustering. <br />Limiting towers to certain areas may reduce proliferation, as <br />long as coverage needs are met and acceptable cluster areas <br />are available. Clustering may occur on public lands. <br />Stealthing <br />Disguising towers is one approach to addressing the aesthetic <br />issues. This maylinvolve making the tower look like a tree, <br />church steeple, or something else. Cost can be a factor. <br />Existing Structures <br />Antennae can be placed on existing tall structures instead of <br />new towers. While the county has few tall buildings that can <br />be used for antennae placement, utility poles are a <br />possibility. <br />Other approaches have also been employed by local governments to <br />regulate towers. These will be discussed at the workshop. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that, after the workshop discussion and input, the <br />Board direct staff to initiate or complete specific planning <br />activities or LDR amendment changes. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />1: County Tower Location Map <br />2.
