   1169.01 PURPOSE.
   The purpose of this Chapter is to establish standards and procedures for review of uses which have the potential to be compatible with the districts in which they are listed as conditional uses but which, due to the nature of their operation, appearance, or other characteristics, require individual review and control of their location, design, intensity, configuration, and impacts upon the district and the community in order to ensure such compatibility and preservation of the district and community.
(Ord. 5-2007. Passed 3-13-07.)
   1169.02 CONDITIONAL USES GENERALLY.
   (a)   A use listed as a conditional use shall not be permitted by right. The identification of a use as a conditional use in a district shall not establish or imply any rights for approval of the use of any lot, nor shall the approval of a conditional use on one lot establish or imply any rights for approval of the same use on any other lot. Listing as a conditional use shall afford the opportunity to submit an application for a conditional use permit, which may be approved or denied on the basis of the provisions of this Zoning Code.
   (b)   When a use is listed in this Zoning Code as a conditional use for a district, the conditional use of land, building, or structure shall not be established until a conditional use permit has been reviewed and recommended by the Planning Commission and approved by City Council according to the procedures of this Zoning Code and until the conditional use permit is issued by the Building Commissioner.
(Ord. 5-2007. Passed 3-13-07.)
   1169.03 APPLICATION FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.
   An applicant for a conditional use permit shall submit an application to the Building Commissioner. At a minimum, an application shall include the following information:
   (a)   Use Information:
      (1)   A statement of the specific conditional use or uses listed in this Zoning Code for which the application is submitted.
      (2)   A description of the activities proposed on the site, including the goods and services, hours of operation, anticipated number of employees, nature and volume of delivery activity, characteristics of vehicular activity, and other information which clearly documents the nature of the proposed use and its potential impacts.
      (3)   A statement discussing the compatibility of the proposed use with the existing and permitted uses of adjacent properties and with any plans adopted by the City, including an evaluation of the effects on adjoining properties of such elements as traffic circulation, noise, glare, odor, fumes, vibration, and storm water.
      (4)   A statement addressing each of the applicable criteria set forth in Section 1169.07 (Standards for all Conditional Uses) and, as applicable, of Section 1169.08 (Standards for Specific Conditional Uses).
   (b)   Site Plan Information: Information and exhibits describing the site and building layout and locations of all structures, paved areas, uses on the lot, and all uses and zoning district designations of adjoining properties and properties across a public right-of-way.
   (c)   Additional Information: Upon review of the application, the Planning Commission may find that additional information is necessary to make a determination of the compliance of the proposed use with the provisions of this Zoning Code. The Planning Commission may determine that additional studies or expert advice are necessary to evaluate a proposed conditional use relative to the requirements of this ordinance and shall advise the applicant if such studies or advice are required. The Planning Commission may accept the required studies prepared by qualified professionals engaged by the applicant or may require the applicant to deposit with the City funds as required to pay for such studies.
(Ord. 5-2007. Passed 3-13-07.)
   1169.04 NOTICE AND HEARING.
   (a)   The Planning Commission shall, upon determining that the application for conditional use is complete, set a public and administrative hearing for its next regularly scheduled meeting and shall instruct the Secretary of the Commission to publish notice at least seven (7) days prior to the public hearing.
   (b)   The Planning Commission shall conduct a public and administrative hearing on the date and time published.
(Ord. 5-2007. Passed 3-13-07.)
