You are in California. There is a state law that requires local governments to
treat you quite reasonably. They cannot apply the PCS and commercial ordinances
to ham radio antenna systems.
It is easy to look up the CA law on the internet. You might want to bring a
copy with you to meet with the planning people.
By the way, the City of Campbell, in the Bay area, has no ordinance covering
ham towers. They are quite happy not to have one, in fact. We tend to be
excellent citizens.

Now in Louisiana, which also has a state version of the FCC PRB1 regulation.
