(a) Purpose. It is the purpose of this article to recognize that there may be cases where community and Comprehensive Plan goals are met by a flexible and individual regulation of land uses on a specific property. The establishment of a conditional use permit procedure provides City of Wheeling with such flexible and individual regulation of uses. This Article’s provisions may not be used to convert a residential structure in a Residential Zoning District when a more appropriate process such as a Zoning Amendment request is otherwise prescribed.
(b) Standards and Requirements. All such uses are declared to possess characteristics of such unique and special form that each specific use must be considered as an individual case. Consideration by the Board of Zoning Appeals (hereinafter BZA) shall be based on adopted standards and requirements. These considerations shall be both general, applying to all conditional uses, and specific, applying to individual types of conditional uses. The standards and requirements stipulated in this article shall be made a condition of approval. In addition, the BZA may impose other pertinent conditions to fit the particular use and site under review.
