Code Section: 178

Subject: Intensification of conditional uses

Effective Date: 3/86

Interpretation:

   This Section governs conditional uses (uses that require special authorization from the Planning Commission) and defines an "automatic conditional use" as a use that was established before the need for a conditional use (CU) that would now be required for such use. It also states that an existing conditional use may not be intensified without another CU authorization. The following decisions have addressed the issue of intensification and under what circumstances another CU would be required. The sublease of space within an automatic CU auto repair garage to another party who does other types of auto work requires a new CU. The existing traffic problems associated with the existing CU was apparently a factor in this decision.
