UTILITY LINES P Key to Table A for 23.60A.503 CU = Shoreline Conditional Use P = Allowed by permit SU = Special Use WD = Allowed for water-dependent uses; prohibited otherwise WD/WR = Allowed for water-dependent or water-related uses; prohibited otherwise WR = Allowed for water-related uses; prohibited otherwise X = Prohibited B. Certain commercial uses and institutional and residential uses 1. Office uses within the Lake Union area are allowed; and 2. Institutional uses that are not water-dependent or water-related and residential uses are allowed as a shoreline conditional use, if located in structures designated as Landmarks, pursuant to Chapter 25.12 , Landmark Preservation. C. Recreational marinas are allowed and yacht, boat and beach clubs are allowed as a shoreline conditional use, if: 1. Located so as to not conflict with manufacturing uses due to dust or noise or other environmental factors, or parking and loading access needs or other safety factors; and 2. Located on lots that are not suited for a water-dependent or water-related manufacturing use or for other allowed water-dependent or water-related commercial uses because of an inadequate amount of dry land. D. Heliports and helistops, which may be allowed as a Council conditional use if: 1. The use is for takeoff and landing of helicopters that serve a public safety, news gathering or emergency medical care function, is part of an approved transportation plan and is: a. A public facility; or b. Located at least 2,000 feet from a residential zone; 2. The use is located to minimize adverse environmental impacts on lots in the surrounding area, and on public parks and other areas where substantial public gatherings may be held; 3. The lot is of sufficient size that operations of the use and flight paths of helicopters can be buffered from the surrounding area; 4. Open areas and landing pads shall be hard-surfaced; and 5. The use meets all federal requirements, including those for safety, glide angles and approach lanes. E. Minor communication utilities are allowed, except freestanding transmission towers, which are prohibited. F. Utility service uses are allowed if they reasonably require a shoreline location to operate. (Ord. 124750 , § 52, 2015)
