Uses requiring a conditional use permit may be permitted, enlarged, or altered in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. In addition, where a use is not authorized or where ambiguity exists concerning the appropriate classification of a particular use or type of development within the intent of the Development Code, said use or type of development may be established by a conditional use permit in accordance with this chapter.
The purpose of conditional use permits is to allow determination of the appropriateness and compatibility of certain uses proposed to be located in areas not specifically designated for such uses and which may only be suitable for location in such areas with application of special conditions as allowed by this chapter.
