1161.15 CONDITIONAL USE REQUIREMENTS.

   The City Planning Commission shall have the duty to hear and decide applications for conditional use permits. The City Planning Commission shall determine that the general standards pertinent to each conditional use identified in the Findlay Zoning Code shall be satisfied by the establishment and operation of the proposed conditional use. The City Planning Commission may also impose such additional conditions and safeguards as it deems necessary for the general welfare, for the protection of individual property rights, and for insuring that the intent and objectives of the Findlay Zoning Code will be observed, including specified limitations as to future expansion.

   The City Planning Commission has no obligation to approve a Conditional Use. This Zoning Code assumes that the uses listed as Conditional Uses are not appropriate unless an applicant proves that the use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general welfare of the City or the neighborhood in which it is proposed. Applicants shall prove that potential negative impacts of elements such as location, size and extent of facilities and operations, site design, traffic generation, side access and potential impact upon public facilities will be adequately addressed.
