§ 21-411. Intent and purpose.  


Latest version.
  • It is the intent of this section to provide for a process to review "special" uses that by their nature, may need to be more closely examined for compatibility at a particular location. These particular uses are generally considered to be appropriate for any zoning district that permits that particular use by special use approval. Uses that require special use approval are designated by an "S" in the Table of Uses found in Article II of this chapter. The planning commission is responsible for hearing all special use requests.

    (a)

    Special use approval runs with the use of the property. Ownership may change, but so long as the character and conditions of the special use do not change, the special use approval remains in effect.

    (b)

    Should the use change to a use permitted in the zoning district that is not the use approved as the special use approval and remain so for six (6) months or more, a new application will be required to reestablish any special use approval use.

    (c)

    The expansion or reconfiguration of any use or development that is subject to special use approval shall require a new or amended special use approval prior to the issuance of a building permit.
