A. Any person proposing to develop a land use requiring special or conditional use review, and not otherwise addressed under county code or state regulation, shall apply for and obtain a special use permit prior to beginning development.

B. Certain uses are subject to the special use standards because they may have adverse effects on the environment, overburden public services, change the desired character of an area or create major nuisances. A review of these uses is necessary due to the potential individual or cumulative impacts they may have on the surrounding area or neighborhood. The special use review provides an opportunity to allow the use when there are minimal impacts, to allow the use but impose mitigation measures to address identified impacts or to deny the use if the impacts cannot be resolved.

C. Uses that require a special use review and are subject to the express standards of this chapter are identified in the land use districts in this chapter, Chapter 18.15 CCC, Surface Mining Special Use, and Chapter 18.17 CCC, Race Facilities Special Use, where applicable.
