(Ord. 3273. Passed 5-9-24.)
1115.03 DESIGNATION AS A CONDITIONAL USE.
   (a)   Certain types of uses are classified as conditional uses because of their uncommon or unique characteristics, infrequency of occurrence, large area requirements, or potential for significant impact on a particular district. The forces that influence decisions regarding the nature, magnitude and location of such types of land use activities are many and varied, depending upon functional characteristics, competitive situations, and the availability of land. Consequently, the conditional use procedures call for a flexible and equitable review for properly accommodating such activities in the community.
   (b)   In order to accomplish such a dual objective, this Chapter sets forth a review procedure that enables a more detailed consideration of each conditional use in regard to the proposed conditions of location, design, size, operation, intensity of use, generation of noise, lighting, traffic and traffic movement, concentration of population, processes and equipment employed, and amount and kinds of public facilities and services required, together with many other factors. Review of this information by the Planning Commission ensures that each proposed conditional use is consistent with the intent and objectives of the particular district in which it is to be located. (Ord. 3273. Passed 5-9-24.)
1115.05 PREAPPLICATION MEETING ENCOURAGED.
   The applicant is encouraged to meet with the Community Development Administrator prior to submitting an application for a Conditional Use Certificate to discuss the requirements of the conditional use regulations and the submittal procedure for issuance of a conditional use certificate. The matters discussed by the Community Development Administrator and applicant are to provide guidance to the applicant and facilitate the submittal process. The Community Development Administrator does not have the authority to approve or deny a conditional use certificate. (Ord. 3273. Passed 5-9-24.)
1115.07 APPLICATION.
   The owner or other interested party shall file an application for a Conditional Use certificate with the Community Development Administrator and pay the application fee. The application shall state all uses proposed on the property and the location, extent, and characteristics of the conditional use, and shall include the review of a development plan as required in Section 1111.01 unless the Community Development Administrator determines development plan review to be inapplicable or unnecessary.
(Ord. 3273. Passed 5-9-24.)
