The Village Plan Commission shall use the following standards when reviewing applications for conditional use:

• That the establishment, maintenance, or operation of the conditional use will not create a nuisance for neighboring uses or reduce the values of other property;

• That the adequate utilities, access roads, parking, drainage, landscaping, and other necessary site improvements are being provided;

• That the conditional use conforms to all applicable regulations of the district in which it is located;

• That the conditional use conforms to the purpose and intent of the Village land use plans.

Conditions such as landscaping, architectural design, type of construction, construction commencement and completion dates, sureties, lighting, fencing, planting screens, operational control, hours of operation, improved traffic circulation, deed restrictions, highway access restrictions, increased yards, or parking requirements may be required by the Village Plan commission upon its finding that these are necessary to fulfill the purpose and intent of the ordinance.

Compliance with all other provisions of this ordinance, such as lot width and area, yards, height, parking, loading, traffic, and highway access shall be required of all conditional uses. Variances shall only be granted as provided in Section 9.0.

Steps in Application for Conditional Use in Village:

A simple majority approval by the plan commission constitute final approval of the conditional use. No further action by the Village Board is required.

Record Keeping. Records of all Village Plan Commission actions approving conditional uses shall be maintained by the Zoning Administrator and shall be referred to in regard to enforcement and modification of conditional use approvals.
