(a) Certain types of uses are classified as conditional uses because of their uncommon or unique characteristics, infrequency of occurrence, large area requirements, or potential for significant impact on a particular district. Consequently, the conditional use procedures call for a more flexible and equitable procedure for properly accommodating such activities in the community. The forces that influence decisions regarding the nature, magnitude and location of such types of land use activities are many and varied, depending upon functional characteristics, competitive situations, and the availability of land. The purpose of this section is to provide controllable and reasonably flexible requirements for certain kinds of uses that will allow practicable latitude for the investor, but that will, at the same time, maintain adequate provisions for the health, safety, convenience and general welfare of the Village's inhabitants.
(b) In order to accomplish such a dual objective, this chapter sets forth a review procedure that enables a more detailed consideration of each conditional use in regards to the proposed conditions of location, design, size, operation, intensity of use, generation of traffic and traffic movement, concentration of population, processes and equipment employed, and amount and kinds of public facilities and services required, together with many other factors. Review of this information by the Planning Commission is required to ensure that each proposed conditional use is consistent with the intent and objectives of the particular district in which it is to be located.
