A. The purpose of this chapter is to create an administrative use permit process for those land use situations where there is a need to exercise limited discretion under certain designated types of circumstances. The purpose of an administrative use permit is to allow the Development Services Director to exercise this limited discretion and control in those land use situations where the type of permitted use generally has less potential impact with the surrounding neighborhood than are those uses for which a conditional use permit is required.
B. The Development Services Director, or his or her designee, as hereinafter provided, may grant an administrative use permit on terms and conditions that are harmonious with the general intent and purposes of this chapter so long as it is shown that the granting of such permit will be consistent with the purposes of this chapter and the General Plan and will serve the public health, convenience, safety and welfare.
