It is the purpose of this chapter to establish decision criteria for those uses listed as conditional in the table of permitted uses (Section 17.16.014) and to specify the expiration date for approval of such uses. It is recognized that these uses which, because of their unique characteristics, cannot be properly addressed without consideration in each case of the impact of those uses upon neighboring land and of the public need for the particular use at the particular location. (Ord. 269 (part), 2002)

C.

That the use meets all required conditions and standards set forth in the district where it proposes to locate; and

D.

That the location and character of the use is compatible and consistent with the character of the area in which it is to be located; and

E.

That the use is in conformance with the comprehensive plan; and

F.

That the use will be supported by adequate public facilities or services. (Ord. 269 (part), 2002)
