In addition, the following regulations shall apply to the installation of public utilities on private property:
A. Residential And School Properties: Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, nothing in this chapter shall restrict the installation of public utility facilities on a residentially zoned site area or on site areas zoned for school uses, nor shall a conditional use permit be required for such facilities, provided that such facilities are used solely for the distribution of the utility and provided that such facilities are no more extensive than necessary to provide the public utility service to that site area. Furthermore, the public utility distribution facility shall serve no more than one site area unless alternate locations in the public right of way are unavailable.
