(A) To the extent feasible, applicants are encouraged to consider properties owned by the local government for the location of cellular towers, if such properties are appropriate in view of surrounding land uses. Whenever possible, cellular antenna towers, whether temporary or permanent, shall be sited at locations that minimize their adverse effect on residential uses in the immediate area. Only when no other adequate site is available shall a cellular antenna tower be permitted in a residential zone.
(B) In accordance with the procedures established by this subchapter, cellular antenna towers may be permitted in any zone when approved by the Planning Commission, with the following exceptions: the Frankfort/Franklin County Planning Commission may allow the placement of cellular antenna towers in designated flood hazard areas as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) as being the 100-year floodplain upon review of the applicant’s justification.
