(A) The Board shall hear special use permit request to determine whether appropriate conditions and safeguards are met. In granting a Special Use Permit the Board shall make the following affirmative findings:
(1) That the special use will not materially endanger the public health or safety, if located where proposed and developed according to the plan as proposed;
(2) That the special use meets all required conditions and specifications;
(3) That the special use will not substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting property, or that the use is a public necessity; and
(4) The special use will be in harmony with the area in which it is to be located and will be in general conformity with the plan of development of the county.
(5) The proposed use/project will be consistent with the Davie County Land Development Plan and/or other adopted plans and policies.
(B) In granting a special use permit, the Board may impose such additional restrictions and requirements upon such permit as it may deem necessary in order that the purpose and intent of this subchapter are served, public welfare secured and substantial justice done. If all requirements and conditions are accepted by the applicant, the Board shall authorize the issuance of the special use permit, otherwise the permit shall be denied.
(C) Any special use permit so authorized shall be perpetually binding upon the property included in such permit unless subsequently changed or amended by the Board, as provided for in this subchapter.
(D) The Board may change or amend any special use permit, after a public hearing and subject to the same consideration as provided for in this subchapter for the original issuance of special use permit.
(E) No proposal to amend or change any special use permit shall be considered within 12 months of the date of the original authorization of such permit or within 12 months of hearing of any previous proposal to amend or change any such permit unless there has been a substantial change in the conditions or circumstances on the special use permit.
