A. The purpose of a conditional use permit (CUP) is to establish a review process for the development of a use that may be desirable under appropriate circumstances but is not permitted by right in the applicable zone. The intent of this chapter is to permit review of such proposed uses on a case by case basis to determine whether, and under what conditions, the use may be approved at a given site. Further, the intent of this chapter is that each use be developed so as to fully protect the public health, safety and welfare of the city. To provide this protection, conditions may be imposed on a use to address potential adverse effects. The privileges and conditions of a CUP are a covenant that runs with the land and, in addition to binding the permittee, bind each successor in interest. A CUP is granted at the discretion of the city, and is not an automatic right of any applicant. (Ord. 2503 § 1, 2003)
