A.

Special impact or uniqueness. Conditional uses are those that have a special impact or uniqueness so that their effect on the surrounding environment cannot be determined in advance of the use being proposed for a particular location.

B.

Protect the integrity and character of the city. This chapter provides a process for reviewing Conditional Use Permit applications to allow for specified activities and uses as identified in the various zoning districts as requiring a Conditional Use Permit. These provisions are intended to protect the integrity and character of the residential, commercial, industrial, and mixed-use areas of the city, consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses, and implementation programs of the General Plan. This chapter also ensures adequate review and input for development projects that potentially impact the community, and adequate review to ensure that development in each zoning district protects the integrity of that district.

C.

Weighing the public need and benefit. A project requiring Conditional Use Permit approval is reviewed as to its location, design configuration, and potential impacts by comparing the project to established standards. The purpose of the review is to determine whether the permit should be approved by weighing the public need for, and the benefit to be derived from, the project, against any impacts it may cause.
