Unclassified uses enumerated in GMC § 17.86.020, and any other uses not specifically referred to in this title, shall be subject to the regulations contained in this chapter, in addition to all applicable requirements of this title. All such uses, due to their nature, are deemed to require special review to consider, on a case-by-case basis, their consistency with the intent of, and permitted uses allowed within, the particular zone. Conditional uses and other uses specifically referred to in this title may be permitted only within their respective districts, subject to the provisions of this chapter. Unclassified uses enumerated in GMC § 17.86.020 may be permitted within any district where not otherwise prohibited.

The following uses shall be considered unclassified:

A special permit for the preservation by adaptive re-use of an historic place, accepted on the National Register of Historic Places, may be requested for uses not otherwise permitted within the applicable district:

A temporary special permit for any use not otherwise permitted within the applicable district may be approved by the public works director; provided, that such use is clearly of a temporary nature and does not involve the erection of a permanent structure. Requests for temporary special permits shall be applied for and processed in the same manner as herein established for uses requiring a special permit, including such conditions as will safeguard the public health, safety and general welfare for the duration of the permit. This section shall not apply to temporary structures permitted under GMC § 17.70.170.

Commercial agricultural uses listed as conditional or unclassified uses in this title shall conform to the following prior to the issuance of a special permit:

In addition to all applicable application requirements contained in GMC Title 14, applications for special permit or conditional use permit shall include the following:

Upon the filing of a complete application for a special permit or conditional use permit, the application shall be scheduled for an open record hearing before the hearing examiner in accordance with Chapter 2.50 GMC. Notice of such open record hearing shall be given as provided for in GMC Title 14.

Upon conclusion of the open record predecision hearing, the hearing examiner shall make and enter findings from the record and conclusions thereof as to whether or not:

After an open record public hearing on a proposed temporary, conditional or unclassified use, the hearing examiner shall render a final decision on the application in accordance with Chapter 2.50 GMC as to whether the proposal is denied, approved, or approved with modifications and/or conditions.

Special permits or conditional use permits shall become effective on the day after the date of the decision by the hearing examiner.

Unless otherwise specified within the special permit or conditional use permit, the applicant shall commence the special use authorized or obtain a building permit for construction of authorized facilities within six months after the effective date of the special permit or conditional use permit, or the special permit or conditional use permit shall expire. In the case of temporary special permits or conditional use permits, unless otherwise specified within the permit, the permit shall expire after six months from its effective date. Within 30 days after the date of expiration, the applicant shall have removed from the premises the temporary use and any improvements of a temporary nature authorized by the permit.

A one-time extension of a special permit or conditional use permit may be granted provided the extension does not exceed six months and an application for extension is submitted to the public works director no later than 30 days after the expiration date of the special permit or conditional use permit. This provision does not apply to temporary special permits or conditional use permits.

Any special permit or conditional use permit may be revoked by the hearing examiner if, after a public hearing, notice of which shall be given in accordance with GMC Title 14, it is found that the conditions upon which the special permit or conditional use permit was authorized have not been fulfilled or if the use authorized has changed in size, scope, nature or intensity so as to become a detriment to the surrounding area. The decision of the hearing examiner is final and appeals shall be made in conformity with Chapter 2.50 GMC.
