(A) Classification of Special Uses. To provide for the location of certain uses with unique characteristics which may be appropriate for and compatible within a given zoning district, but depending on how the use is designed and operated, there is the potential that the use could be incompatible with surrounding properties, or adversely affect the future development of the community, a classification of special uses is established. The review requirements and standards outlined in this subchapter are designed to provide a stricter examination of such uses in order to assure compatibility within the Zoning District and to minimize potential harmful effects of the use. Special uses, as denoted in Table IV-1, shall be subject to the provisions of this subchapter. Such special uses may be developed in the zoning districts specified only if findings are made that the standards and conditions set forth in the appropriate sections of this subchapter are met.
(B) Special Use Permits. Utilizing the provisions established by this subchapter, an applicant may file an application for a special use permit, allowing for the establishment, operation and maintenance of a particular use, which traditionally affects the public interest, but whose unusual nature may give rise to unique problems for neighboring property or public facilities.
(C) Conformance with Other Requirements. Special uses shall conform to all the applicable requirements governing bulk, off-street parking and loading and all other applicable provisions of this chapter.
