11-18-1: PURPOSE AND APPLICATION:
   A.   The purpose of requiring administrative review/approval of certain enumerated uses is to determine whether or not, in any particular case, a use listed under a section of district regulations entitled "Permitted Uses: Administrative Review/Approval" should be treated as a conditional use because of the peculiar circumstances and conditions of the case. Some commercial uses require administrative review to ensure that the site is appropriate for the use. Such administrative review usually requires a site plan review as part of the administrative review process. This Chapter sets forth the procedure for review/approval of such use by an administrative act where findings can be made that such use is in conformance with the intent and provisions of the district regulations and other applicable regulation of this Code. The provisions of this Chapter take cognizance of the impracticality of listing certain uses as categorically possessing the characteristics of those uses listed under either the "Permitted Use" or "Conditional Use: Commission Approval" sections of the various districts provided in this Code.
   B.   Except as provided in subsections 11-18-5C and Section 11-18-7 of this Chapter, the provisions of this Section 11-18-1 through Section 11-18-6 of this Chapter shall apply to all uses listed as permitted uses, subject to administrative review/approval.
   C.   As a matter of policy, any use listed as subject to administrative review/approval shall be considered as if it were a permitted use in the district where listed unless otherwise found to require modifications under the review procedures provided in this Chapter. (Ord. 527, 8-4-1997)
