I doubt that would stand up if someone were to challenge it....  The FCC 
is pretty clear about that; they can limit the height of a tower but an 
antenna is not a tower.

Look up the FCC ruling; it's very clear. I don't have it right now, but 
I've written and administrered zoning ordinances and I can tell you that 
you cannot limit the placement, height, appearance, etc of a 
residential, non-commercial  OTA antenna.
