When I purchased our property here in CO, I included a contingency that
if towers were not allowed, the sale would be void. I went to the HOA
CC&R committee and got a written "OK" before we proceeded. That
approach worked well for me.
Get a written determination from the appropriate regulating body, and
you should be in good shape.
