    (b)

    In industrial zoning districts (I-1 or I-2), locating a tower up to a height of 80 feet (or 100 feet if designed and intended to accommodate at least two users), or an antenna, including the placement of additional buildings or other supporting equipment used in connection with the tower or antenna, shall be allowed as a use by right, provided, however, that such tower shall be set back from any existing residential property line and/or public right-of-way a distance equal to the height of the tower [plus] 100 feet.
