1105.06 CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS.

   (a)   Conditional Use Permits shall be required for certain uses as set forth in this Code.  Because of their uncommon or unique nature or characteristics, infrequency of occurrence, large area requirements, potential for impact upon persons or adjacent properties, or for other reasons, such uses may not be permitted in a District without consideration in each case of those potential impacts and the standards and conditions under which they may be permitted and desirable at specific locations and in certain districts.

   (b)   Uses designated as conditionally permitted uses in a District are not permitted by right in the District.  Those uses enumerated in this Code as being conditionally permitted may be permitted in the District enumerated only if a determination is made by the Commission with the concurrence of Council that such uses conform to accepted planning standards and the criteria provided herein and subject to their compliance with any specific conditions or standards attached to their approval, otherwise they shall be prohibited.  The application of planning standards, for determining the acceptability, location, and extent of such conditionally permitted uses, is a planning function and not in the nature of a variance or appeal.

   (c)   Applications for a Conditional Use Permit shall be made on forms provided by the Building Department.  Upon receipt of a completed application, the request shall be scheduled for the next regularly scheduled Commission meeting.  The Commission may recommend approval, denial, or approval with specific conditions and standards for the operation of the proposed use.  The recommendation of the Commission shall be forwarded to Council for its concurrence at the next regular Council meeting.
