The local code here just prohibits it from falling across public property, like a sidewalk. That's just so the city doesn't get sued, I presume.

Considering that one modest limb of an oak tree weighs more than as tower full of antennas, I'd worry a lot more about the trees.

Such a code would also prevent most amateur radio towers from being built.

But overall, I would think a building code type requirement for "must be
at least the height from property line or structures" is a pessimistic
worst case requirement and would prevent a lot of commercial
structures from being built.
