19.36.010 Purpose
Conditional uses are unique and their effect on the surrounding environment cannot be determined in advance of the use being proposed for a particular location. At the time of application, a review of the location, design, configuration, and potential impact of the proposed use shall be conducted by comparing the use to established development standards and design guidelines. This review shall determine whether the proposed use should be permitted by weighing the public need for and the benefit to be derived from the use against the impact which it may cause.
An application for a Minor Use Permit may be made in-lieu of an application for a Conditional Use Permit if the use meets the following criteria:
   1.   The use will be entirely located within a structure that has previously been approved with a Development Permit or Conditional Use Permit;
   2.   The use will be less than 10,000 square feet in gross floor area;
   3.   The use will be exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act;
For all other applications for conditional uses, and for all applications for social service centers and religious facilities/churches, a Conditional Use Permit shall be required.
