Before issuing a special use permit, the Planning Commission shall establish that the following general standards, as well as specific standards, shall be satisfied.
(A) General standards. The Planning Commission shall review each application for the purpose of determining that each proposed use meets the following standards and, in addition, shall find adequate evidence that each use on the proposed site will:
(1) Be designed, constructed, operated and maintained so as to be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and that such a use will not change the essential character of the area in which it is proposed;
(2) Not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or intended uses in the same general area and will be an improvement to property in the immediate vicinity and to the community as a whole;
(3) Be served adequately by essential public facilities and services, such as highways, streets, police, fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewage facilities and/or schools;
(4) Not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities and services;
(5) Not involve uses, activities, processes, materials and equipment or conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare by reasons of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors; and
(6) Be consistent with the intent and purpose of the zoning district in which it is proposed to locate the use.
(B) Conditions and safeguards. The Planning Commission may stipulate additional conditions and safeguards deemed necessary for the general welfare, for the protection of individual property rights and for ensuring that the intent and objectives of this chapter will be observed. The breach of any condition, safeguard or requirement shall automatically invalidate the permit granted.
(C) Specific requirements. The general standards and requirements of this section are basic to all uses authorized by special use permit. The specific and detailed requirements set forth in the following sections relate to particular uses and are requirements which must be met by those uses in addition to the foregoing general standards and requirements where applicable.
(D) Permitted uses. Uses permitted by special use permit shall be those listed by districts as noted in the respective zoning districts as herein regulated, controlled or defined.
