How do I apply for a Conditional Use Permit? What is a Conditional Use Permit?
-
The purpose of a Conditional User Permit is to allow for special consideration of certain specified uses which may or may not be compatible with an area depending on the specifics of the particular project. Since a zoning ordinance cannot be drafted to deal equitably with every circumstance, the “use permit†process gives the City sufficient flexibility to determine whether a specific land use on a given site will be compatible with the neighborhood and the General Plan. In reviewing a “use permit†application, the staff and Planning Commission will evaluate such items as building placement and size, traffic generation, noise, hours of operation, adequacy of parking, circulation, proposed merchandise, landscaping and overall compatibility of the use with adjoining properties and other related development impacts. Conditions may be imposed as necessary to insure that the proposed use will be compatible with the environment and surrounding neighborhood.
