PROBLEM STATEMENT: There is a hole in the Tigard Municipal Building Code
(Title 18) which enables any residential homeowner in Tigard to construct a tower or
antenna structure of unlimited height.
REQUESTED ACTION: Amend Title 18 to reinstate height limits and setback
requirements on antenna and tower structures (attached or detached) built on residential
land in Tigard.
DETAILS: Although it is clear that Title 18 of the Tigard Municipal Building Code tries
to preclude the construction of unsightly, oversized, or inappropriate structures in
residential areas, a specific hole in the code allows for any residential homeowner in
Tigard to construct an "attached" tower or antenna of any height.
MUNICIPAL CODE:
Section 18.510.050 of the building code specifies Development Standards for residential
zones. Table 18.510.2 specifies that the Maximum Height requirements for R-1 through
R-7 residential zones range from 30 to 35 ft.
Section 18.510.060 of the building code specifies that "an accessory structure may not
exceed 15 feet in height."
Section 18.730.020.A removes all maximum height requirements from Title 18. It states,
"Projections such as chimneys, spires, domes, elevator shaft housings, towers excluding
TV dish receivers, aerials, flag poles, and other similar objects not used for human
occupancy, are not subject to the building height limitations of this title."
Although Section 18.730.020 removes all height requirements, there are still setback
requirements built into the city code. Section 18.510.060 states that "All freestanding
and detached towers, antennas, wind-generating devices, and TV receiving dishes, except
as otherwise regulated by Wireless Communication Facilities (Chapter 18.798), shall
have setbacks equal to or greater than the height of the proposed structure.
To get around the setback requirements, residents need only "attach" a free standing
tower to the side of the house. This attachment to the house need not be structural and
frequently serves no other purpose then to enable the resident to get around the setback
requirements. Once attached, the tower is then exempt from all height limits and setback
requirements and may be built to unlimited height.
Example radio tower at 14155 SW High Tor Dr: recently placed on residential lot and
towering over the High Tor and Hillshire neighborhoods.

REQUESTED ACTION: Amend Title 18 to restore height limits and setback
requirements on antenna and tower structures (attached or detached) built on residential
land in Tigard. Ways this could be accomplished could include:
• remove Section 18.730.020 which enables residents to build structures of
unlimited height on their residential land.
• amend Section 18.510.060 to remove the words "freestanding and detached".
