(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.
