From the transcript
You know, if you go over a certain, certain height, then maybe we kick that into a conditional use. You got, if you're going to go over so many feet, You gotta go through the process for conditional use permit. Okay, so that way there are just things, anything that we say up to so tall, it's by right, up to such and such a standard, it's by right. But if you want to exceed those, then you do have the option of filing for conditional use permit and say, you know, whatever it is, it's like, oh, we to meet our requirements, we got to go an extra 10 feet tall in the tower, you know, and then it's up to us to say, yeah, we could probably do that. Probably do that, or no, we don't.
