The purpose of this chapter is to provide a process for reviewing conditional use permit applications which are intended to allow the establishment of uses which are deemed to have some special impact, uniqueness, or effect on the neighborhood surrounding the subject site. The permit application process allows for the review of the location and design of the proposed use, configuration of improvements, potential impact(s) on the surrounding neighborhood, and to ensure that development in each zoning district protects the integrity of that district.
At the time of an application for a conditional use permit, a review of the location, design configuration, and potential impact(s) of the proposed project shall be conducted by comparing the project to established standards. This review shall determine whether the proposed use should be allowed by weighing the public need for and the benefit to be derived from the use against any adverse impact(s) it may cause.
