Griffin City Zoning Code

721 F

Uses permitted only upon approval of the board of commissioners.

1.

Because of their special demands upon public services and facilities, and their potential for imposing significant financial burdens upon the city if established within certain timeframes and at particular locations, the uses listed below shall be special uses within the assembly district, but only upon approval of the board of commissioners, after recommendation by the planning and zoning board.

In making a determination as to whether or not an application for such use shall be approved at a particular time and location, in addition to the standards contained in Section 406 of this ordinance, the board of commissioners shall consider the potential financial burdens to the city that would be generated, the potential impacts, on existing or anticipated surrounding developments, noise and peak traffic impacts and the potential special demands upon public services and facilities. Upon a finding that a particular use conforms to the intent and requirements of this section, the use may be approved by the board of commissioners. If approval for such use is granted, the board of commissioners may attach special conditions to the approval which have as their purpose minimizing potential negative impacts and burdens on public finances, facilities and/or services as well as surrounding properties and travelers on the city's streets and sidewalks.
