[Ord. No. 1101, 10-9-2017]

The application must be for a special use permit, which would only be permissible in a Zoning Code district of a higher (more restrictive) use level.

2. 
Consideration to allow a special use permit shall be based on all factors set forth in Section 400.400 of the Code.

Split Uses. Planning and Zoning Commission may recommend and the City Council may approve a Special Use Permit for a portion of the applicant's premises or separate use permits for different uses on the same premises, provided all standards required in Subsection (E) of this Section are complied with.

Special Use Permits Are Personal. All Special Use Permits shall be personal to applicant and applicant's spouse and are not subject to transfer or assignment by the applicant or applicant's spouse and shall not pass to the heirs of the applicant or applicant's spouse upon their death.
I. 
Yearly Review. The Building Inspector shall review all Special Use Permits previously granted on a yearly basis and report his findings to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Upon receipt of said report, if the Planning and Zoning Commission determines any condition or standard required to be complied with in the grant of the Special Use Permit has been violated, the Planning and Zoning Commission may recommend to the City Council revocation or suspension of the Special Use Permit.
J. 
Revocation Or Suspension. The City Council may, after reasonable notice to the owner and a hearing, revoke or suspend any Special Use Permit herein granted, with or without the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission, upon the finding that the owner of the premises for which the Special Use Permit has been granted has violated any of the covenants or standards required in granting the Special Use Permit, has allowed any nuisance on the premises as defined by City ordinances, or has permitted criminal activity to be conducted upon the premises.
