[Ord. No. 919 Art. XVII, A]
Before any permit shall be issued for a conditional use, applications shall be made to the Approving Authority. The Approving Authority shall grant or deny the application after public hearing but within 95 days of submission of a complete application or within such further time as may be consented to by the applicant. Notice of the hearing for a conditional use shall include reference to all matters being heard, including site plan and/or subdivision, and the Approving Authority shall review and approve or deny the subdivision or site plan simultaneously with the conditional use application. Failure of the Approving Authority to act within the required time period shall constitute approval of the application. In reviewing the conditional use application, the Approving Authority shall review the use of the property and the requirements set forth in this chapter and shall give due consideration to all reasonable elements which would affect the public health, welfare, safety, comfort and convenience, such as but not limited to the proposed use(s), the character of the area, vehicular travel patterns and access, pedestrianways, landscaping, lighting, signs, drainage, sewage treatment, potable water supply, utilities and structural location(s) and orientation(s), and shall conduct a public hearing on the application. Each conditional use shall be considered as an individual case. In all requests for approval of conditional uses, the burden of proof shall be on the applicant. All conditional uses shall require site plan review and approval by the Approving Authority.
