Again, from the code I wrote.
(It's getting a lot of use today.)
310.4 Antenna – radio hobbyist
310.4.2 Definition
Radio hobbyist antenna -- exterior transmitting or receiving device (and supporting structure) used in telecommunications that radiates and captures radio signals on frequencies allotted by the Federal Communications Commission for amateur radio, Citizens Band (CB) and General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) use; or captures radio signals on any frequency as part of a hobby. The term does not apply to roof mounted whip antennas or simple wire antennas not supported by a dedicated antenna tower.
310.4.3 Permitted locations
Radio hobbyist antenna towers ≤50’ (15 m) tall are permitted by right in all zoning districts.
Radio hobbyist antenna towers >50’ (15 m) to 100’ (30 m) tall are considered subject to special review in the C-G and I-G districts.
Retractable radio hobbyist antenna towers >50’ (15 m) tall are considered subject to special review in all zoning districts.
310.4.4 Conditions
Towers must be placed outside the front yard, outside of required setback areas.
Towers must be set back a distance of ≥50% of its height from all property lines, and set back from other on- and off-site towers and supporting structures far enough so one tower does not strike another tower, support structure or overhead utilities if a tower or support structure fails.
Antenna elements must not overhang into any required setbacks.
Only one amateur radio antenna tower is allowed on a property. Where the main use is an amateur radio club, more than one tower is allowed if space and setbacks permit.
Anyone building a radio hobbyist antenna must sign a hold harmless agreement, acknowledging that the Town is not responsible for enforcing any covenants that restrict or prohibit amateur radio towers, and is not responsible for any conflicts with covenants or property owner associations.
All hobby radio operations must conform to FCC rules. Externalities resulting from illegal radio operation (such as using a “dirty” linear amplifier for CB) that affect neighboring properties are considered a zoning violation, and will also be reported to appropriate lawn enforcement and federal government agencies.
My interpretation of "reasonable accomodation" does not extend to residential antenna farms, and esoteric operations involving physically overwhelming facilities, such as huge EME arrays.
If there was a hamfest or short-term contest, I'd look the other way.
