19.150.010 Purpose and intent.

The conditional use permit (CUP) procedure is to establish criteria for determining the conditions under which a use(s) is permitted within a zoning district. Certain uses because of their size, infrequent occurrence, special requirements, possible safety hazards or detrimental effects on surrounding properties and other similar reasons are classified as conditional uses. A conditional use is subject to specific review during which additional conditions may be imposed to assure compatibility of the use with other uses in the vicinity. A request for a CUP may be denied where it cannot be clearly demonstrated that the requested use will be compatible with other permitted uses in the vicinity of the proposed conditional use. (Ord. 07-015 § 4, 2007).
