The purpose of special use permit approval is to allow the proper
integration into the community of uses which may be suitable only
on certain conditions and at appropriate locations. Because of their
unusual characteristics or the special characteristics of the area
in which they are to be located, specially permitted uses require
special consideration so that they may be properly located with respect
to the objectives of this chapter and their effect on surrounding
properties.
A public hearing shall be held by the ZBA prior to issuing a decision on any special use permit application. See §
190-146 for additional information regarding public hearings.
A special use permit shall authorize only one special use and
shall expire if the special use ceases operation for more than six
consecutive months for any reason.
Proposed amendments or revisions to an approved special use
permit shall be subject to review and approval in accordance with
this article. The issuance of a new, updated special use permit shall
be required.
