If adopted, such guidelines shall not be construed as requirements to be met in order to obtain a special use permit but rather shall serve as an aid to the Board of Appeals in determining whether the standards set forth in this chapter and, if any, in the district regulations have been met by a particular special use within the particular context in which it is proposed.
E. Applications for WTSF. Any recommendation of the Board that an application for a special use for a WTSF be denied or be subject to certain conditions, shall be supported by specific findings of fact, consistent with the guidelines, requirements and considerations established in Chapter 17.52, upon which the negative recommendation is based.
