Use permits which may be revocable, conditional or valid for a term period, may be issued only for any of the uses or purposes for which such permits are required or permitted by the terms of Chapters 20.02 - 20.60.

(Ord. 67-10 § 5.0500, 1967)

1. Application for a use permit shall be made to the planning commission in writing on a form provided by the planning commission and shall be accompanied by plans and elevations necessary to show details of the proposed use or building. Such application shall be accompanied by a filing fee as prescribed in the current fee schedule resolution of the board of supervisors.
2. Application for a use permit for use of mobile home or trailer shall be made to the building department in writing on a form prescribed by the planning commission and shall be accompanied by a fee of twenty-five dollars, fifteen dollars of which is returned to the applicant in the event that the use permit is denied.

(Ord. 2009-003 § 6 (part), 2009: Ord. 67-10 § 5.0501, 1967)

All use permit applications shall be reviewed by the environmental review committee. This committee will make preliminary environmental impact analysis on all use permit applications and will require from the applicant all necessary information whereby they will be enabled to make their recommendations to the planning commission.

(Ord. 78-19 (part), 1978)

The planning commission may hold such public hearings on a use permit application as it may deem to be necessary, notice of which shall be given at least ten days prior to such hearing, through U.S. mail, to all persons whose names and addresses appear on the latest adopted tax rolls as owning real property within a distance of not less than three hundred feet from the exterior boundaries of the area which is the subject of the hearing.

Further public notification shall be by notice in at least one publication in a newspaper of general circulation within the county at least ten days prior to the first public hearing.

Further neighborhood notification shall be made in the form of public notices posted at conspicuous places on or near the affected properties not less than ten days prior to the first public hearing. Such notices shall give the time, place and nature of the public hearing.

Any failure to post public notices as aforesaid shall not invalidate any proceedings pursuant to this chapter.

To facilitate the above public hearing notification procedure, and to keep county costs of processing such individual permit requests to a minimum, the application for a use permit shall include:

1. Verification of the applicant's interest in the property, such as a copy of the grant deed or signed or certified escrow instructions or title report;
2. A list of all property owners of record within three hundred feet of the applicant's property, together with a drawing or assessor's plat map showing the relationship of these properties to the applicant's. Names and addresses of property owners are available in the county assessor's office. Applicants should make every effort to provide the names of present property owners. Should there be an out-of-county address for a property, yet it is known that there is a residence on the property, an effort should be made to provide the name and mailing address of the tenant on the property;
3. One stamped, business-letter size envelope addressed to each of the persons on the list.

1. The planning commission may issue the use permit if the findings of the commission shall be that the establishment, maintenance or operation of the use applied for will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort and general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood, and that such use is in harmony with the general purposes of Chapters 20.02 - 20.60.
2. The planning commission may designate such conditions as it deems necessary to secure the purposes of Chapters 20.02 - 20.60, and may require a guarantee and/or bond that such conditions will be complied with.

(Ord. 67-10 § 5.0503, 1967)

1. In any case where the conditions of granting of a use permit have not, or are not, complied with, the planning commission shall give notice to the permittee by certified mail sent to the address shown on the application for the use permit, at least ten days prior to a hearing thereon. At the conclusion of the hearing the planning commission may revoke such permit. Such revocation shall be subject to the right of appeal in the same manner as set forth in Chapter 20.58.
2. In any case where a substantial start has not been made to use the use permit within one year after the date of granting thereof, or the use permit has been abandoned for a period of one year, then, without further action by the planning commission or board of supervisors, the use permit granted shall be null and void. Evidence of a substantial start or abandonment of a use permit may be reviewed by the planning commission as per subsection A of this section.
