Those uses that are authorized by this chapter that normally would be "permitted uses" but may require special planning consideration due to their circulation and access requirements, operational characteristics, proximity to other similar uses, impact on neighborhood property, etc., and which therefore may need special conditions imposed to control these factors, to protect the public health, safety, and welfare and to assure compliance and harmony with the comprehensive plan of the city.

Conditional use permits may be issued for all of the conditional uses listed in the schedule of district regulations, unless otherwise exempt.

(1)

Application for the issuance of a conditional use permit shall be made to the planning and zoning commission and a fee charged the applicant in accordance with section 18-1103. The planning and zoning commission shall hold at least one (1) public hearing on any application for a conditional use permit. Following the hearing the planning and zoning commission shall make a report upon the proposal to the city council and shall recommend to the city council whatever action it deems advisable; but the planning and zoning commission shall not recommend the granting of a permit unless it finds that the establishment, maintenance, or conducting of the use for which a conditional use permit is sought will not under the circumstances of the particular case be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience or welfare of the persons residing or working in the area adjacent to such use, or to the public welfare, or injurious to property or improvements in the area adjacent to such use. The planning commission may designate conditions and require guarantees in the granting of conditional use permits.

(2)

Upon receipt of the report of the planning commission, the city council shall make a decision upon the request of a conditional use permit.

(3)

Any conditional use shall be established and conducted in conformity with the terms of such permit and of any conditions designated in connection therewith.

(4)

An application for a conditional use permit may be denied by motion of the city council upon a recommendation by the planning and zoning commission and such motion shall constitute a finding and determination by the city council that the conditions required for approval do not exist.

(5)

The planning and zoning commission and the city council may periodically review the conditional use permit and, if the conditions established are not adhered to, the city council may revoke the permit.
