The principal objective of the zoning code is to provide for an orderly arrangement of compatible buildings and land uses, and for the proper location of all types of uses required for the social and economic welfare of the city. To accomplish this objective, each type and kind of use is classified as permitted in one or more of the various districts established by this chapter. However, in addition to those uses specifically classified and permitted in each district, there are certain additional uses which it may be necessary to allow because of their unusual characteristics or the service they provide the public. These special uses require particular consideration as to their proper location in relation to adjacent established or intended uses, or to the planned development of the community. The conditions controlling the location and operation of such special uses are established by the following provisions of this subchapter.
