(Zoning §12-103; Ord. No. G-637 §1, 4-22-86)

Upon receipt of a proposed amendment from the City Governing Body or an application for an amendment from the owner of the property affected, the Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing on the proposed amendment, and forward to the City Governing Body its findings and recommendations with respect to the proposed amendment.

(Zoning §12-104; Ord. No. G-637 §1, 4-22-86)

The Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing on each proposed amendment that is referred to, filed with, or initiated by the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission shall authorize the Zoning Administrator to select a reasonable hour and place for such public hearing. Such hearing shall be held within sixty (60) days from the date on which the proposed amendment is referred to, filed with, or initiated by the Planning Commission. An applicant for an amendment may waive the requirement that such hearing be held within sixty (60) days.

(Zoning §12-201; Ord. No. G-637 §1, 4-22-86)

Public notice of a hearing on a proposed amendment shall be published once in the official City newspaper. At least twenty (20) days shall elapse between the date of such publication and the date set for such hearing. Such notice shall state the date, time and place of the hearing and shall contain a statement regarding the proposed changes in regulations or restrictions, or the zoning classification or zoning district boundaries of any property. If the proposed amendment would change the zoning classification of any property or the boundaries of any zoning district, such notice shall contain the legal description and street address or general street location of such property or a general description sufficient to identify the property under consideration, its present zoning classifications and the proposed classification. When a proposed amendment will affect the zoning classification of specific property, the Planning Commission shall mail a written notice of the public hearing thereon, containing the same information as the published notice thereof, to the owner or owners of the property affected and to the owners of all property within two hundred (200) feet of the boundaries thereof. If the subject property is adjacent to the corporate limits, the distance from the boundary of said property shall extend one thousand (1,000) feet, but only within the unincorporated portion thereof. Such notice shall be mailed at least twenty (20) days prior to the date of such hearing. In the case of rezonings, the applicant shall place a sign on the property informing the general public that a public hearing will be held on a specific date concerning the proposed changes. The sign shall be furnished by the City, and the applicant shall maintain the sign for at least twenty (20) days immediately preceding the date of the public hearing. The sign shall be firmly attached to a stake and placed within five (5) feet of the street right-of-way line in a central position on the lot, tract or parcel of land so that the sign is free of any visual obstructions surrounding the sign. If a lot, tract or parcel of land is located on a corner lot, one (1) sign shall be placed so as to face each of the streets abutting thereto. If a lot does not have a yard in which to place a sign, a sign may be posted in the window of the building in such a manner that it is free of visual obstructions. The Zoning Administrator may waive the requirement to post a sign in cases where a tract of land is not accessible to the public's view. The applicant shall file an affidavit with the Zoning Administrator on the day of the public hearing verifying that the sign has been maintained and posted as required by the paragraph. The sign may be removed at the conclusion of the public hearing and must be removed by the applicant at the end of all proceedings on the application or upon withdrawal of the application. Failure to post the sign(s) in accordance with these procedures or failure to submit the affidavit prior to the hearing may result in a delay of the public hearing. The Planning Commission may give such additional notice to other persons as it may from time to time provide by its rules.

(Zoning §12-202; Ord. No. G-792 §10, 3-17-92; Ord. No. G-917 §§2, 3, 9-18-01)

(Zoning §12-301; Ord. No. 637 §1, 4-22-86)

When a proposed amendment would result in a change in the text of these Regulations but would not result in a change of zoning classification of any specific property, the report of the Planning Commission shall contain a statement as to the nature and effect of such proposed amendment and determinations as to the following items:

1.

Whether such change is consistent with the intent and purpose of these Regulations;

2.

A.

Upon the receipt of the recommendation of the Planning Commission and the expiration of the 14-day protest period as provided by K.S.A 12-757(e), the Governing Body shall consider the proposed amendment at their next regular meeting. The Governing Body may approve the recommendation of the Planning Commission, override the Planning Commission's recommendation by a two-thirds (2/3) majority vote of the total membership of the Governing Body, or return such recommendation to the Planning Commission with a statement specifying the basis for the Governing Body's failure to approve or disapprove.

B.

When the proposed amendment is referred back to the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission shall reconsider the proposed amendment and may submit its original recommendation giving the reasons therefor, or an amended recommendation. The Governing Body may then take whatever action it deems appropriate. If the Planning Commission fails to deliver its recommendation to the Governing Body following the Planning Commission's next regular meeting after receipt of the Governing Body's report, the Governing Body shall consider such inaction a resubmission of the original recommendation.

C.

If a proposed amendment is not acted upon finally by the City Governing Body within one hundred twenty (120) days after the report of the Planning Commission is submitted to it, such proposed amendment shall be deemed to have been defeated and denied, unless the applicant for such amendment shall have consented to an extension of such period of time. Whenever a proposed amendment is defeated, either by vote of the City Governing Body or by reason of the operation of this Section, such amendment shall not thereafter be passed without a further public hearing and notice thereof as provided in Article II of this Chapter.

(Zoning §12-401; Ord. No. 792 §11, 3-17-92)

If a written protest against a proposed amendment shall be filed in the office of the City Clerk within fourteen (14) days after the date of the conclusion of the hearing on the proposed amendment pursuant to the published notice, which protest is duly signed and acknowledged by the owners of twenty percent (20%) or more of any property proposed to be altered or changed, or by the owners of twenty percent (20%) or more of the total area required to be notified in Section 445.060 of this Chapter, excepting public streets and ways, then such amendment shall not be passed except by at least three-fourths (3/4) vote of all the City Governing Body.

(Zoning §12-402; Ord. No. G-792 §12, 3-17-92)

No amendment changing the zoning classification of any lot, parcel or tract of land shall be adopted unless such lot, parcel or tract has one hundred (100) feet of frontage on a public street, or has ten thousand (10,000) square feet of area, or abuts on a lot, parcel or tract of land that has the same zoning classification as that which is proposed for the property which is the subject of the proposed amendment.

(Zoning §12-403; Ord. No. 637 §1, 4-22-86)

A.

The establishment of certain land uses are not appropriate in the City of Junction City; especially those land uses that are of an extremely sensitive nature due to the intensity or environmental impacts associated with the normal operation of the business or activity. However, it is recognized that it may be acceptable, on a case-by-case, site-by-site basis, to permit the development of such land uses where conditions warrant and adequate safeguards are taken to mitigate any of the potential problems associated with said development. Therefore, in order to develop certain land use in the City of Junction City a special use permit issued in accordance with these regulations shall be required.

B.

It is the intent of this Section to require a special use permit for certain proposed land uses in one (1) or more of the established zoning districts, except as specified in Section 445.180 herein. As such, it is acknowledged that any property owner may seek a special use permit for the types of land uses indicated herein. The subsequent approval of such request by the Governing Body is a purely discretionary act that will be decided based upon the facts and circumstances discovered in the review of each application. There is no implied "right" for any person or landowner to obtain a special use permit for any use on any property.

(Ord. No. G-1066 §4, 5-4-10; Ord. No. G-1127, §15, 3-5-13)

A.

Before the location or establishment of any land use requiring a special use permit, the Metropolitan Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing following receipt of an application which shall be accompanied by a Site Plan which shall include and/or display the following information:

1.

When deemed necessary, a topographic survey indicating the legal description, property boundary, existing contours, existing utilities and easements, and natural and manmade features of the property.

2.

A Site Plan, drawn to the same scale as the topographic survey, indicating:

a.

Existing contours (shown as dashed lines);

b.

Proposed contours (shown as solid lines);

c.

Location and orientation of all existing and proposed buildings;

d.

Areas to be used for parking, including the number and arrangement of stalls;

e.

Areas to be developed for screening, including the location of plant materials, and screening structures and features;

f.

Pedestrian and vehicular circulation, and their relationship to existing streets, alleys and public right-of-way;

g.

Points of ingress and egress;

h.

Location of all existing and proposed utilities (sanitary sewage systems, water systems, storm drainage systems, gas lines, telephone lines and electrical power lines);

i.

Drainage controls (retention or detention ponds);

j.

Location, size and characteristics of identification and business signs;

k.

Lighting layout, appurtenances, and intensity of illumination;

l.

Proposed finished floor elevations of all buildings and structures.

3.

A statement of intent shall accompany the Site Plan to explain the measures used to achieve compatibility of the proposed development with surrounding properties through the planning of the site and the location and design of structures.

B.

The Metropolitan Planning Commission shall review the application for a Special Use Permit, along with the Site Plan, and shall recommend approval or denial of the Special Use Permit along with the Site Plan to the Governing Body, or may request modifications to the Site Plan as deemed necessary to carry out the spirit and intent of these Regulations. Following receipt of the Planning Commission's recommendation, the City Commission may, within the specifications herein provided, permit such buildings, structures or uses; provided that the public health, safety and general welfare will not be adversely affected, that ample off-street parking facilities will be provided, that the transportation and utility services are appropriate for the level and intensity of the proposed development, and that necessary safeguards will be provided for the protection of surrounding property, persons and of neighborhood values. In this regard, the City Commission may impose reasonable conditions on the approval of a special use permit to carry out the general purpose and intent of these regulations.

C.

In the process of reviewing any Site Plan, the Metropolitan Planning Commission and/or Governing Body may provide approval of the Site Plan conditioned upon certain limitations or restrictions deemed necessary to protect the public interest and surrounding properties, including, if any, the following:

1.

Limitations on the type, illumination and appearance of any signs or advertising structures.

2.

Direction and location of outdoor lighting.

3.

All subsequent requests for additions and structural alterations to special use permits approved by the City Commission shall be considered in the same procedure as outlined in Section 445.160 herein.

(Ord. No. G-1066 §4, 5-4-10)

The following special uses may be approved by the City Commission as provided in this Article.

1.

Commercial and communication towers, including wireless communication facilities, whether allowed by right subject to a building permit or by special use permit approval, shall be subject to the following provisions:

a.

All commercial and communication towers, including wireless communication facilities, shall include information for review as required in this provision and said information shall be shown on a site plan drawn to scale.

b.

The location of every tower, whether by right or by special use permit, shall be set back from all property lines a distance equal to at least one-half (½) of its height and shall be of monopole or a lattice self-support type. Guyed towers shall not be permitted unless the tower is capable of meeting a setback requirement from all property line equal to its height.

c.

The following wireless communication facilities are permitted by right in any zoning district, subject to the issuance of a building permit, if they conform to all other requirements in this Section:

(1)

New facilities that are concealed in or mounted on top of or the side of existing buildings (excluding single-family and duplex residences) and other structures, including support structures up to twenty (20) feet above the building, but not more than twenty (20) feet above the maximum height permitted by a building permit in the underlying zoning district.

(2)

Modification and/or replacement of support structures (light poles, flagpoles, electrical poles, private dispatch towers, etc.) that are not significantly more visible or intrusive, including cumulative height extensions no greater than twenty (20) feet above the original structure height.

(3)

New monopole towers no more than seventy (70) feet in height measured from grade. If the Zoning Administrator determines that the proposed monopole does not conform to any requirements of this Section, the building permit shall be denied. Towers denied building permits may pursue approval by applying for a special use.

d.

All other communication towers including wireless communication facilities that do not meet the requirements of Subsection (c) above shall be reviewed through the special use process as outlined in these regulations.

e.

All lighting necessary to comply with the FAA lighting requirements shall consist of dual lighting structures with day time strobe lights on medium intensity and night time red lights only. No high intensity strobes or night time strobes shall be permitted. Further, all towers requiring lighting shall provide battery backup or other alternative power source to assure lighting operations during times of power outages. Lighting for security purposes shall be permitted at the base of wireless communication facilities. Temporary lighting for nighttime repairs shall be permitted.

f.

No signs shall be allowed on an antenna support structure other than those required by applicable governmental agencies.

g.

At the time of requesting a special use or a building permit for a approvable wireless communication facility as permitted in Section (c) above, as applicable, the applicant shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the approving authority that:

(1)

No available space exists on existing or approved wireless communication facilities or other structures can be utilized to meet the applicant's communication needs (an existing site will be considered "available space" only if the site is economically and technically feasible with a ready, willing and able landlord); and

(2)

No other economically and technically feasible opportunity to modify or rebuild an existing structure on which the communication equipment may be located exists (a rebuilding opportunity will be considered economically feasible if the cost of rebuilding an existing facility is no more than the cost of building a new facility on a new site).

h.

At the time of requesting a special use or a building permit for a wireless communication facility, as applicable, the owner of a proposed new wireless communication facility and the owner of the land, if not the same, shall agree in writing that every commercial telecommunication tower shall be designed to provide co-location with a minimum of forty-eight (48) antennas and their attendant cables and that such space shall be made available for additional users.

i.

Any communication tower that is unused for a period of twelve (12) months or more shall be declared abandoned and shall be notified of the necessity of removing the tower and appurtenances and reclaiming the lands as provided herein.

j.

A plan for reclamation of the site shall be prepared and submitted as a part of the application. The plan shall indicate a timetable for the reclamation of the proposed use of the site upon the removal of the tower. The applicant shall also provide financial security in a form acceptable to the City to assure the reclamation of the property shall occur in conformance with the reclamation plan. Financial security provided to the landowner is sufficient, provided it names the City as well.

2.

Churches may be established in Residential Districts "RS" Suburban Residential, "RG" General Residential, "RD" Duplex Residential and "RM" Multiple-Family Residential.

3.

Schools, service or fraternal clubs, or YMCA, YWCA and other similar uses, as defined, may be established in any zoning districts except "IR" Restricted Industrial, "IL" Light Industrial, "IH" Heavy Industrial and "IP" Industrial Park.

The entire property shall be screened by way of a privacy fencing material in a manner such that visibility of the parked vehicles is not evident. This may be with a wooden or masonry privacy fence, or may be a chain-link fence with meshing that provides opacity equal to at least seventy-five percent (75%).

b.

All the property devoted to the parking and/or storage of vehicles shall be surfaced as required by City ordinances unless the Governing Body grants modifications to the surfacing requirements as part of the approval of the Special Use Permit.

c.

The use of the property shall be limited to vehicles associated with the repair business and in the process of completion of the repairs. At no time shall the area be used for storage of equipment, disabled vehicles that are being salvaged, or similar storage purposes.

5.

A Special Use Permit may be considered in any zoning district for a use that may be permitted in a less restrictive zoning district; provided, it is determined by the Metropolitan Planning Commission that the subject property of a proposed rezoning may be considered inappropriate for the uses permitted by the proposed rezoning but the individual use proposed may be appropriate as a Special Use Permit with appropriate conditions and restrictions in order to mitigate the establishment of the proposed use on the property in question. In said circumstances, the consideration of a Special Use Permit shall be considered to be a "zoning to a more restrictive classification" than proposed by the applicant and, therefore, may be considered at the same public hearing as a recommendation to a "more restrictive classification" to the governing body without the requirement of a new public hearing; provided, however, at no time shall a Special Use Permit be allowed or considered as a means to permit the keeping of farm animals on any property within the City limits of the City of Junction City, Kansas. The only properties allowed for the keeping of farms animals are those specifically zoned and meeting the qualifications and requirements for the keeping of farms animals, and only those farm animals so specified, by the Zoning Regulations and City Code of Junction City, Kansas.

6.

Any other use not specifically listed as a permitted and/or accessory use in any district in these Regulations; as a Conditional Use Permit; or as a prohibited use.

(Ord. No. G-1066 §4, 5-4-10; Ord. No. G-1096, §3, 4-19-11; Ord. No. G-1127, §17, 3-5-13; Ord. No. G-1135, §1, 10-1-13; Ord. No. G-1160, §1, 1-6-15)

The City intends to create a simplified and streamlined aesthetic review process establishing a clear and consistent aesthetic standard for placement in the City. For small cell antenna structures installed on City-owned poles in the public right-of-way, these guidelines seek:

A.

To establish a clear, defined aesthetic standard for use throughout the City;

B.

To establish a menu of design options for providers to select from when applying for new small cell antenna placement on City poles;

C.

To minimize unnecessary quantities of new poles by encouraging co-location of small cell facilities;

D.

To require, in situations where new poles will be placed, that equipment be placed on new, pre-designed and approved stealth poles, such that all equipment, including wiring, can be concealed inside the pole; and,

E.

To require, in situations where attachments will be made to existing poles, that equipment, cabling, and conduit be concealed through the use of approved shrouding or camouflaging equipment.
