(A)   A conditional use may not be appropriate generally or without restriction throughout a zoning district, but if controlled as to number, area, location, or relation to the neighborhood, would promote the public health, safety, convenience, appearance, or general welfare.

   (B)   In addition to any other requirements of this chapter, all conditional uses for a specific zoning district shall be subject to special requirements and the approval procedures outlined in §§ 154.71 through 154.73 below.

   (C)   The sensitive nature of certain conditional uses requires individual assessment of the location. Such use may be appropriate in one location but not in another, even though both sites may have the same zoning.

(Ord. 241, passed 11-27-85)

   (A)   All conditional uses shall require a conditional use permit and site plan approval prior to the granting of a building permit. Site plan approval shall be in accordance with Chapter 156. All applications for a conditional use permit shall include, but not be limited to, the following:

      (1)   Site and development plans showing the proposed use and placement of structure provisions for ingress/egress, off-street parking, loading, refuse areas, setback yards, and open spaces.

      (2)   Plans for screening and buffering with reference to type, dimension, and character.

      (3)   Plans for proposed utility connections.

      (4)   Proposed landscaping and the protection of trees.

      (5)   Proposed signs and lighting, including type, dimensions, and character.

   (B)   Where the rezoning of land and a conditional use permit are requested simultaneously for the same parcel of land, both petitions may be processed concurrently.

   (C)   The Planning and Zoning Board shall review the conditional use permit request and make recommendations to the City Commission. After report and recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board is made and filed, the conditional use permit request shall be submitted to the City Commission at a public hearing for its approval or disapproval after due public notice.

   (A)   Before any conditional use permit shall be approved, the Planning and Zoning Board shall make a written finding that the granting of the permit will not adversely affect the public interest, and that satisfactory provisions have been made concerning the following matters, where applicable:

      (1)   Compliance with all applicable elements of the comprehensive plan.

      (2)   Acceptable ingress and egress, with particular reference to automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, and access in case of fire or catastrophe.

      (3)   Acceptable economic, noise, glare, or odor effects of the conditional use on adjoining properties and properties generally in the district.

      (4)   Acceptable location, availability, and compatibility of utilities.

      (5)   Acceptable screening and buffering.

      (6)   General compatibility with adjacent properties and other properties in the district.

   (B)   In approving any conditional use, the Planning and Zoning Board may also require appropriate conditions and safeguards as part of the terms under which the conditional use permit is granted. Violations of those conditions and safeguards shall be deemed a violation of this section.

   (C)   After a conditional use permit is granted, the use of land and construction will be in accordance with the approved site and development plans.

(Ord. 241, passed 11-27-85) Penalty, see § 154.999

   (A)   Any conditional use approved as required by this subchapter shall expire one year after the conditional use permit was granted unless a building permit based upon and incorporating the conditional use is obtained within the aforesaid 12 month period.

   (B)   An extension of one additional year may be granted on request of the applicant where conditions have not changed during the first year. The request for the conditional use approval extension must be filed with the city at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the aforesaid 12 month period.
