Any <br />county map which shows utility corridors shall designate such corridors as "private land closed <br />to trespass and public use" where such corridors are on private land. Nothing in this paragraph <br />is intended to conflict with the right of eminent domain. <br />5. The Hearing Examiner shall consider industry standards, available technology, and proposed <br />design technology for special utilities and associated facilities in promulgating conditions of <br />approval. <br />6. The construction and installation of utilities and special utilities may necessitate the importation <br />of fill material which may result in the displacement of native material. The incidental generation <br />of earthen spoils resulting from the construction and/or installment of a utility or special utility, <br />and the removal of said material from the development site shall not require a separate zoning <br />conditional use permit. <br />7. The operation of some utilities and special utilities identified within this chapter may necessitate <br />unusual parcel configurations and/or parcel sizes. Such parcels: <br />a. Need not conform with applicable zoning requirements; provided, they comply with the <br />procedures provided in KCC Title 16, Subdivisions, and so long as used for a utility or <br />special utility; <br />b. Are not eligible for any other use or any rights allowed to nonconforming lots in the event <br />the utility or special utility use ceases; <br />c. Shall continue to be aggregated to the area of the parent parcel for all other zoning and <br />subdivision requirements applicable to the parent parcel. (Ord. 2012-009, 2012; Ord. 2001- <br />12 (part), 2001: Ord. 2000-06 (part), 2000; Ord. 99-14 (part), 1999: Ord. 98-17 (part), 1998) <br />17.61.040 Communication facilities - Administrative review - General requirements. <br />1. Communication facilities may be authorized by the Community Development Services director <br />as an administrative conditional use in all zoning districts, pursuant to the criteria and <br />procedures of this chapter and KCC Title 15A and KCC 17.60. An administrative conditional use <br />permit is not required for the operation of amateur or noncommercial communication <br />equipment as defined by FCC regulations under Part 95D and Part 97 CFR (i.e., citizen band, <br />ham radio). <br />2. Construction of all improvements shall be completed within one year of the date of permit <br />issuance except as provided for in subsections E and F of this section. <br />3. The property line setback shall be 1.2 times the height of the structure. The lot line setback <br />requirements of this title may be reduced by the Community Development Services director, in <br />order to improve the facilities' reception and/or transmission capabilities or to achieve greater <br />levels of audible or visual screening provided the applicant can provide evidence that it would <br />not be possible for the tower to fall on neighboring properties. Communication facilities shall be <br />designed to blend with existing surroundings; provided, no conflicts exist with existing Federal <br />Communications Commission and the Federal Aviation Administration regulations relating to <br />aircraft safety. This should be achieved through the use of compatible colors and materials, and <br />alternative site placement to allow the use of topography, existing vegetation or other <br />structures to screen the proposed transmission support structure from adjacent lands. <br />4. The co-location of antennas on both existing and proposed transmission structures is <br />encouraged. Communication antennas shall be permitted outright in all zoning districts <br />provided the following:
