9-14-2: CONDITIONAL USES:
Following a public hearing, the planning commission may grant a conditional use, subject to such reasonable modifications and conditions as are deemed necessary to protect the interests of surrounding property owners or neighborhood, and to otherwise achieve the purposes of this title.

The setbacks and limitations of the underlying zone shall apply to the approved use.
   A.   Permit Requirements: A conditional use permit shall be obtained for each use approved prior to development of the use.
