Special uses are those types of uses which tend to be problematic because they: have a tendency to generate significant traffic volumes and/or turning movements; have operational characteristics that may have a detrimental impact on adjacent or nearby properties; or have other characteristics which may impact public health, safety, or welfare; but can be approved if such uses meet the criteria established herein. Special uses also include public and quasi-public uses affected with the public interest. In order to ensure that detrimental impacts are avoided or mitigated to a satisfactory level, special uses must be reviewed, approved, and issued a special use permit, in accordance with the provisions of this subchapter. Special uses are listed for each zoning district (see §§ 154.025 through 154.039).
