A. Upon application or on its own initiative, the planning commission may add a use to the list of permitted uses prescribed in chapters 5 through 13 of this title, if the commission makes the following findings:
1. That the addition of the use to the list of permitted uses will be in accordance with the purposes of the district in which the use is proposed.
2. That the use has the same basic characteristics as the uses permitted in the district.
3. That the use reasonably can be expected to conform with the required conditions prescribed for the district.
4. That the use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare.
5. That the use will not create more vehicular traffic than the volume normally created by the uses permitted in the district.
6. That the use will not adversely affect the character of any district in which it is proposed to be permitted.
7. That the use will not create more odor, dirt, smoke, noise, vibration, illumination, glare, unsightliness or any other objectionable influence than the amount normally created by any of the other uses permitted in the district.
8. That a use will not create any greater hazard of fire or explosion than the hazards normally created by any of the uses permitted in the district.
B. When a use has been added to a list of permitted uses in accordance with the procedure prescribed in this section, the use shall be deemed to be listed as a permitted use in the appropriate section and shall be added to the text of that section of this code when it is next published, with a notation of the date when the use was added to the list. (Ord. 527, 8-4-1997)
