In order to give the district use regulation the flexibility necessary to achieve the objectives of this chapter, in certain districts, conditional uses are permitted, subject to the granting of a use permit. Conditional uses include those uses generally not suitable in a particular zoning district, but which may under some circumstances be suitable. When such circumstances exist, a conditional use permit may be granted. Conditions may be applied to issuance of the permit, and a periodic review of the permit may be required.The permit shall be issued for a particular use and not for a particular person. Because of their unusual characteristics, conditional uses require consideration so they may be located properly with respect to the objectives of this chapter and the comprehensive municipal plan and with respect to their effects on surrounding properties. In order to achieve these purposes,the council is empowered to grant and to deny applications for conditional use permits and to impose reasonable conditions upon the granting of these permits. (Code 1984,§10.09(1)) I Sec. 78-912. - Reference to planning commission. Before the council may grant conditional use permits for such conditional uses as prescribed in the district regulations of this chapter, the request shall be referred to the planning commission for study concerning the effect of the proposed use on the ordinance and on the character and development of the neighborhood and for recommendation in regard to granting such conditional use and its conditions, if any, or for the denial of such conditional use. The council may by unanimous action waive reference to the planning commission. (Code 1984,§10.09(2)) I Sec. 78-913. -Application. Whenever this chapter requires a conditional use permit, an application in writing may be filed with the zoning administrator,together with such filing fee as may be established by the council and shall be accompanied by a site plan and such information and showing as may be necessary or desirable, including but not limited to the following: (1) Site plan drawn at scale dimensions with setbacks noted. http://library.municode.com/print.aspx?clientlD=13094&HTMRequest=http%3a%2f%2fli... 11/4/2010
