§ 153.16 ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES.

   (A)   Upon receipt of a development application, the county shall follow the notification and public hearing requirements specified in Idaho Code Title 67. All applications must be sign by the property owner in question. It shall be the applicant’s responsibility to collect and turn into the city, as part of his or her application, the names of all property owners within 300 feet of the property (excluding streets and alleys) if such notification is required.

   (B)   Applications for variances to the code shall be considered when they are not contrary to the public interest where, owing to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the provisions of this subchapter will result in an unnecessary hardship because of the physical characteristics of the site. A variance is a modification of the requirements of this subchapter such as minimum lot size, width, depth, setbacks affecting the size or shape of the structure or the placement of the structure upon lots, or the size of the lots. A variance shall not be considered a right or privilege and will only be granted to the applicant if hardship is proven and it is not in conflict with the public interest.

§ 153.30 PURPOSE.

   (A)   The purpose of this subchapter is to provide a set of standards for the development and installation of telecommunication towers, antennas and related facilities. The regulations contained herein are designed to protect and promote public health, safety and the community welfare of the county, and to encourage managed development of telecommunications infrastructure, while not unduly restricting the development of needed telecommunications facilities.

   (B)   The county shall apply these regulations to accomplish the following:

      (1)   Minimize adverse visual effects of telecommunication towers, antennas and related facilities through design and siting standards;

      (2)   Maintain and ensure that a non-discriminatory, competitive and broad range of telecommunications services and high quality telecommunications infrastructure consistent with the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 are provided to serve the community;

      (3)   Provide a process for obtaining necessary permits for telecommunications facilities while at the same time protecting the interests of the county citizens;

      (4)   Protect environmentally sensitive areas of the county by regulating the location, design and operation of telecommunication facilities; and

      (5)   Encourage the use of alternative support structures, colocation of new antennas on existing telecommunication towers, camouflaged towers and construction of towers with the ability to locate more than one provider.

   (C)   Furthermore, this chapter is not intended to regulate residential satellite dishes or residential television antennas that are used privately. Additionally, it is not intended to regulate satellite dishes/ antennas whose regulation is prohibited by state statutes or as preempted by federal law.
