Recognizing that certain uses may be desirable when located in the community, but that these uses may be incompatible with other uses permitted in a district, certain conditional uses listed below when found to be in the interest of the public health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the community may be permitted, except as otherwise specified, in any district from which they are prohibited. Before the location or establishment thereof, or before any change of use of the premises existing at the time of the effective date of the regulations (April 18, 2016), or permitted as herein provided is made, preliminary plans in sufficient detail and a statement as to the proposed use of the buildings, structures, and premises shall be submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Commission shall hold a public hearing and shall review such plans and statements and shall, after a careful study thereof, and of the effect that such buildings, structures, or uses will have upon the surrounding territory, submit a recommendation to the City Council within thirty (30) days following said hearing. Following receipt of the Commission's report, the City Council may, within the specifications herein provided, permit such buildings, structures, or uses where requested, provided that the public health, safety, morals, and general welfare will not be adversely affected, that ample off-street parking facilities will be provided, and that necessary safeguards will be provided for the protection of surrounding property, persons, and neighborhood values. Once a conditional use has been approved by the Commission and the City Council, any building or structure approved as a conditional use shall be fully completed or installed no later than six (6) months from date of final approval, or approval is automatically withdrawn. For good cause shown, the City Council may grant an applicant one (1) additional six-month extension to complete a building or structure approved for conditional use.

Any conditional use listed in Subsection (C) listed below, existing on the effective date (April 18, 2016) of these regulations, shall be considered a non-conforming use unless it has qualified as provided above, and has been approved as a conditional use by the City Council.

When found to be in the interest of the public health, safety, morals, and general welfare, the City Council is hereby authorized to approve any and all structural alterations to conditional uses after they have qualified and have been approved, provided such alterations do not add materially to the permitted conditional uses.

Standards For Approval. The following criteria will be considered when reviewing each conditional use permit. The burden is placed on the applicant to prove that the proposed conditional use permit complies with the following:

Planning And Zoning Commission Action. The appropriateness of the use will be determined in consideration of surrounding uses, activities and conditions of the site and of surrounding areas. The application, and its supporting documentation, will be reviewed and considered by the Village Planning and Zoning Commission. A public hearing will be held by the commission to ensure surrounding property owners have the opportunity to comment on the applicant's plans. The commission will then forward the application and supporting documentation, with recommended action, to the Village Trustees for their approval.

City Council Action. The City Council will review the application, supporting documentation, and Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation, conduct a public hearing, and then take final action to approve the application for a conditional use permit. If the application is not approved, the applicant may resubmit the application with changes or appeal the decision to the Board of Adjustment.

The following conditional uses may be approved by the City Council as provided in this Article:
