Comments on bottom:

This is the only mention of a ham tower in my city.
Are they saying;
1. I can only have a tower 70 feet high?
2. Or if I have a business tower the accessory (ham) tower can only be 70
feet.

Sec. 12.0.  Accessory antennas. 
This section governs antennas which are accessory to the principal use of a
premises. Commercial radio and television transmission antennas, television
receiving antennas for cable television systems, telecommunications
antennas, and other antennas which constitute a separate business from the
principal use of the premises or which are an integral part of the principal
use of the premises, are not accessory antennas, and are governed by Article
XIV.
12.1.Applicability.  Accessory antennas are limited to the following:  
A.   The following antennas which are accessory to residential use are
permitted in any residential district:
1.   Radio and television antennas, other than parabolic antennas, which do
not exceed fifty (50) feet in height and are located on the same premises as
the dwelling to which they are accessory.
2.   Parabolic antenna greater than two (2) feet in diameter, which is
located on the same premises as the dwelling which it serves, subject to the
provisions of subsection 12.2.
3.   Parabolic antenna less than two (2) feet in diameter, which is attached
to the dwelling to which it is accessory and does not extend more than six
(6) feet above the roof line of the dwelling.
4.   Federally licensed amateur radio station antenna which does not exceed
seventy (70) feet in height and is located upon the same premises as the
dwelling to which it is accessory.
 

The two indicated sentences tell me that you may, as a Ham, have a 70' tower
(Max) at your residence.   Oddly sentence #1 says if you were a SWL, your
tower could only be 50'.  Your license got you 20'.
