The Conditional District (CD) zoning process allows for the establishment of specific uses that, because of their nature or scale, have particular impacts on both the immediate area and the community as a whole. The development of these uses cannot be predetermined or controlled by general district standards. Section 5.16.5 outlines the process for approval of a (CD) district. The rezoning of any parcel of land to a (CD) district shall be a voluntary process initiated by the property owner or their authorized agent. Any area rezoned to a (CD) district shall be in general compliance with the goals, objectives, and implementation strategies of the adopted Comprehensive Land Use Plan and all other plans and regulations officially adopted by the Board of Commissioners. This review process provides for the accommodation of such uses by a reclassification of property into a (CD) district, subject to specific conditions (which may exceed those that would otherwise be required for the use in question), to ensure compatibility of the use with the enjoyment of neighboring properties and in accordance with the general plans of development of the County. A Conditional District zoning is not intended for securing early zoning for a proposal.

Once a property has been rezoned to a (CD) district, it shall be referenced with the letters "CD" in front of the name of the applicable general zoning district listed in Section 6.2. For example, a property rezoned to a (C-2) Conditional District shall appear on the Zoning Map as "(CD/C-2)."
