Perhaps we need another new use category for transmission towers and other electrical related structures and facilities.

I noticed Marco’s recent submission for a Transmission Tower with the Pimary Use as “Mechanical” and secondary as “Industrial”. I would say it’s definitely not mechanical as it has no moving parts. I would class it as Electrical followed by Industrial. There are other possibilities where Electrical would apply too including: Power generation facilities (Hydroelectric, Nuclear, Fossil Fuel, etc), Transmission Towers, and Telecommunications infrastructure.

don't forget "windturbines" as Energy/Electrical Structure

next problem:

Transmission Towers, Chimneys or Highrises with Antennas for Cell Phones - are they "Telecommunication infrastructure" too? Or only Towers which were only built because of these Antennas?

[Kelvin]

Wind Turbines are also Mechanical in addition to Electrical!

We do have "Communications" as a Type so that would cover off most of the Telecom items I guess (anything that is wireless??)

"Electrical" would pretty much involve only those structures or facilities involved with production, transmission, distribution, etc. of electricity directly (although I believe that could include microwave towers in some instances).

Dump 'em all into Infrastructure.

I have added electircal now

[Kelvin]

Infrastructure also includes roads, sewers, tunnels, bridges, potable water supply, waste water treatment, curbs and gutters, ....

Just a quick reminder: "Electrical" use is for those structures that produce, transmit, or otherwise handle electricity directly.

Radio & Telecommunications towers, antennae, etc. are properly listed as "Telecommunications". While they may have some electrical components, it's not a primary function and just about every structure has somthing electrical on it somewhere.
