This chapter is intended to provide regulations for special land uses which may be compatible with permitted uses in a zoning district under specific locational and site criteria. This chapter provides standards for the planning commission to determine the appropriateness of a given special land use covering factors such as: compatibility with adjacent zoning, location, design, size, intensity of use, impact on traffic operations, potential impact on groundwater, demand on public facilities and services, equipment used and processes employed. Establishment or major expansion of any special land use requires a special land use permit under this chapter.
