It is recognized that certain uses, although generally compatible with the basic use classification of a particular zoning district, should not be permitted generally and as a matter of right to be located in every area included within the zoning district because of hazards inherent in the use itself or special problems which its proposed location may present. Such a use of a particular site may, nevertheless, be conditionally permitted by means of a conditional use permit, granted by the Council, after the procedures set forth in this Code and the City's Policy Manual on Land Use Procedures have been complied with, and the Council, on the basis of the guidelines and criteria set forth in Chapter 1355.04 Subd 3, has determined that the facts and circumstances of the particular case warrant granting the permit. The permit shall be granted solely for the proposed use of a particular site, not for a particular person or firm. Uses for which Conditional Use Permits may be issued are classified either as Conditional Accessory Uses or Conditional Principal Uses and are found in Section 1320 along with the zoning districts in which they may be located.

   In determining whether to grant a conditional use permit for the proposed principal or accessory use of a particular site, the planning commission and council shall follow the procedure as set forth in Appendix A, Procedure Manual, and in Section 1355 of this ordinance.

   After the conditional use permit has been granted, the use conditionally permitted thereunder shall be established, conducted and maintained in conformity with the terms thereof, including all conditions set forth therein. Any structural alteration, enlargement or intensification thereof, or similar change not specifically permitted by the permit, shall require an amended permit and all procedures shall apply as if a new permit were being requested; provided, however, that when such changes are deemed to be insignificant by the zoning administrator, the requirements of a public hearing may be waived.

   In the granting of conditional use permits for medium- and high-density residential uses and business or industrial uses the council shall first find that the proposed development is in compliance with the adopted comprehensive development plan and the Zoning Map for Arden Hills, both in terms of the various policy statements and the site location set forth therein. If such proposal is not in compliance with the comprehensive development plan and zoning map, a comprehensive plan amendment and zoning map amendment application must accompany the application for a conditional use permit.
