Any use in any part of this chapter made subject to a special permit by the Village Board of Trustees may be permitted on application and after public notice and hearing. Such use shall be deemed to be prohibited unless a special permit has been granted by the Village Planning Board and filed with the Village Clerk.
The purpose of a special permit use is to allow for the proper integration of uses in the community and appropriate zoning districts. Because of their characteristics, or the special characteristics of the area in which they are to be located, special permit uses require consideration and conditions so that they may be properly located with respect to the objectives of this chapter and their proposed use is in harmony with local zoning laws and will not adversely affect the neighborhood if such requirements are fully met. If an application for a special use permit does not meet the statutory conditions for its use, it shall be deemed a non-conforming use.
