1407.04 Special Conditions.

[Ord. 2019-60, 12-2-2019]

Prior to the authorization for a special use, and the granting of a special use permit, special conditions where identified in Section 1407.03 of this appendix shall be required in addition to compliance with the requirements for satisfactory plans, specifications, public hearings and other conditions which may be required. The following list of special conditions is identified by code numbers corresponding to those which appear in Section 1407.03 of this appendix in connection with specific special uses:

Code No.	Description
1	Such special use may be permitted on a lot which is located more than 100 feet from a residence district.
2	Such special use may be permitted where the owner satisfactorily establishes that there will be no appreciable traffic congestion or hazard to pedestrian safety.
3	Such special use may be permitted where not more than five persons will be employed on the premises.
4	Such special use may be permitted above the ground floor.
5	Such special use may be permitted on a lot which is not less than 10,000 square feet in area.
6	Such special use may be permitted provided the total floor area does not exceed 25,000 square feet and provided that specifications verifying conformance to the performance standards are approved by the director of code administration.
7	Such special use may be permitted only on lots which are not immediately adjacent and contiguous to a residential district or to an established non-conforming residential use. For the purpose of this paragraph, the term "immediately adjacent and contiguous to" shall not include properties separated by a dedicated street or alley.
8	Such special use may be permitted with a front/corner side yard from zero feet to less than 30 feet, provided the director of code administration determines the required setback, having taken into account factors such as the established setbacks on adjacent lots, and the amount of off street parking to be created by such use.
9	Such special use may be permitted only for a medical cannabis dispensing organization, which, by December 31, 2019, held a valid registration under the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program, and continues to operate with a valid medical cannabis dispensing license at the same location.

3	Such special use may be permitted where not more than five persons will be employed on the premises.
4	Such special use may be permitted above the ground floor.
5	Such special use may be permitted on a lot which is not less than 10,000 square feet in area.
