The Plan Commission shall hold a public hearing upon each conditional use application giving Class 2 notice thereof and written notice shall be given to all abutting and opposite property owners of record.
§ 280-42 Review and approval.
The Plan Commission shall use the following standards when reviewing applications for conditional use: the establishment, maintenance or operation of the conditional use will not create a nuisance for neighboring uses or reduce the values of other property; adequate utilities, access roads, parking, drainage, landscaping and other necessary site improvements are being provided; the conditional use conforms to all applicable regulations of the district in which it is located; and the conditional use conforms to the purpose and intent of the Village land use plans.
Conditions. Conditions such as landscaping, architectural design, type of construction, construction commencement and completion dates, sureties, lighting, fencing, planting screens, operational control, hours of operation, improved traffic circulation, deed restrictions, highway access restrictions, increased yards or parking requirements may be required by the Plan Commission upon its finding that these are necessary to fulfill the purpose and intent of this chapter.
Compliance. Compliance with all other provisions of this chapter, such as lot width and area, yards, height, parking, loading, traffic and highway access, shall be required of all conditional uses. Variances shall only be granted as provided in Article X.
Approval. Following the public hearing and review of the conditional use application, the Plan Commission shall approve, disapprove or further conditionally approve the application. A simple majority approval by the Plan Commission constitutes final approval of the conditional use. No further action by the Village Board is required.
