A. Public utility distribution lines, both overhead and underground, are permitted in all districts without the necessity of first obtaining either a use or a building permit. The location of power transmission lines and the structures of the power transmission lines are to be approved by the Planning Commission.

B. Proof is to be furnished to the Planning Commission that the proposed installation is necessary and convenient for the efficiency of the public utility system or the satisfactory and convenient provision of service by the utility to the neighborhood or area in which the particular use is to be provided. Furthermore, the design and location of such facility should consider the general character of the area and will in no way adversely affect the development of property in the zone in which it is located.
