Special land uses are those uses of land which are not essentially incompatible with uses permitted in a district, but possess characteristics or location qualities which require individual review and discretion in order to avoid incompatibility with the character of the surrounding area, public services and facilities, and adjacent uses of land. The purpose of this subchapter is to establish equitable procedures and criteria which shall be applied in the determination of requests to establish special land uses. The criteria for decision and requirements provided for under the provisions of the subchapter shall be in addition to those required elsewhere in this chapter which are applicable to the special land use under consideration.
