(b) Conditional Uses.
(1) Conditional Uses may be appropriate as permitted uses within the district but require more detailed evaluation with respect to location, design, size, method and hours of operation, intensity of use and traffic generation and potential impact on surrounding uses, in order to provide an opportunity for these uses while safeguarding both individual property rights and general, community welfare. It is the Planning Commission’s responsibility to perform this evaluation and, after review, to attach necessary conditions and safeguards. The development standards contained in this chapter are minimum standards. Planning Commission may require more restrictive standards for a conditional use based on the merits of each application. Review and approval of these uses are further regulated in Section 1141.04, Conditional Uses.
(2) The following uses are conditionally permitted within the Light Industrial District. These uses generally display one or more of three characteristics which result in its conditional status: (1) inherently cannot operate within an enclosed structure; (2) involve retail sales beyond the limited, ancillary retail associated with permitted uses; (3) require specific site characteristics for compatible development.
