Fredericksburg City Zoning Code

Within forty (40) days following receipt of the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission, the City Council shall hold at least one public hearing on the Conditional Use Permit. Notice shall be given as prescribed in Section 5.800. Within twenty (20) days following the closing of a public hearing, the City Council may grant a Conditional Use Permit as the Permit was applied for in a modified form or subject to conditions, or may deny the application. The City Council shall notify the applicant of its decision.

No application for a conditional use permit, for property which includes all or part of the same property which was described in a previously denied application for a conditional use permit, shall be accepted by the department earlier than one year after the date of final action on the prior application, unless:

1)

The Director of Planning and Building determines the use for which the new application is made is not the same or a similar use to that proposed in the previously denied application; or

2)

The Director of Planning and Building determines that conditions relating to the property adjacent to the property which was the subject of the previously denied application have substantially changed, in which case a six-month waiting period shall be imposed from the date of the final action of the city council on the prior application, until a new application can be filed.

Subsequent applications.

1)

When an application has been withdrawn. An application for a conditional use permit may be withdrawn at any time. If the application has been advertised in compliance with state law, an application requesting substantially the same conditional use permit request on all or part of the same described land shall not be reconsidered within six (6) months of withdrawal.
