Planning Department. The question I had  was/is; what is(if any) the tower and 
antenna height limit for an AMATEUR  RADIO station(operator) living within Los 
Angeles County, in County  area(meaning not in an incorporated area)?All though the 
question is simple  enough, the answer has not been easy to get, in fact I'm 
still waiting for a  "corrected" response. The initial response I got from a 
"regional planner"  was, "communication towers, 35 feet!" I immediately 
corrected him and stated  its not a "communications tower" but rather a "Amateur 
Radio Tower". He paused  and then replied, "oh.... I see, I will have to look  in 
to this and I'll  get back to you."

        What you do is go down to  the LACPD and buy a copy of the building 
regulations. Then YOU can figure out  what you need. If you ask 3 different 
people in the building department a  question like this, you'll likely get 3 
different interpretations.
