Special Exception Land Uses are often desirable but may have detrimental effects on
properties or neighborhoods or on the surrounding community if not properly designed and controlled. Special Exception Land Uses are uses that are not allowed by right within a
but are permitted if approved through a particular review process. A special review of these
is necessary to ensure that avoidable problems or hazards are not created and that such uses are consistent with the intent of this section and the
under which they are permitted.
Depending on the proposed use, a Special Exception Land Use application is processed in accordance with the PDSD
, Zoning Examiner, or the Mayor and Council Special Exception Procedure.
