I.PURPOSE:
In order to give the use regulations the flexibility necessary to achieve the objectives of the Zoning Ordinance in
certain districts, conditional uses are permitted, subject to the granting of a Conditional Use Permit. Because of
their unusual characteristics, conditional uses require special consideration so that they may be located properly
with respect to the objectives of the zoning regulations, and with respect to their effects on surrounding properties. In
order to achieve these purposes, the Planning Commission is empowered to grant or deny applications for a
Conditional Use Permit for such conditional uses as are prescribed in the district regulations, and to impose
reasonable conditions upon the granting of a Conditional Use Permits; subject to the right of appeal to the City
Council.
