[Ord. No. 336 Art.
22, 12-14-1999]
A. General. Conditional uses are those types of uses which,
due to their nature, are dissimilar to the normal uses permitted within
a given zoning district or where product, process, mode of operation
or nature of business may prove detrimental to the health, safety,
welfare or property values of the immediate area and its environs.
Within the various zoning districts, specific uses may be permitted
only after additional requirements are complied with as established
within this Section.
B. Procedure. An owner or occupant of a property shall submit
a request for a conditional use to the Village Clerk. The Village
Clerk shall then submit said application to the Planning and Zoning
Board for their consideration. The Planning and Zoning Board shall
consider such a request at either a regular or special meeting. The
Planning and Zoning Board does have the option of requiring a public
hearing on said request if it is deemed to be in the best interest
of the Village.
C. Considerations. The Planning and Zoning Board may approve
a conditional use application considering the following items:
1. The location of the proposed use is compatible to other land uses
in the general neighborhood and does not place undue burdens on the
transportation and service facilities in the vicinity.
2. The location of the proposed use will be served by streets of capacity
sufficient to carry the traffic generated by the proposed use.
3. The proposed use, if it complies with all conditions upon which the
approval is made contingent, will not adversely affect the property
in the vicinity and will conform to the general intent and purpose
of these regulations.
4. Height and area limitations for the district in which the proposed
use is to be located are observed unless otherwise excepted.
5. Acceptance and observance by the applicant of specified conditions
(which conditions may require greater standards than normally required
in a given district in order to correlate the proposed use to other
property and uses in the vicinity) determined to be necessary by the
Planning and Zoning Board including, but not limited to:
a. Conformity to plans and drawings submitted with the application.
b. Special yard, open space, buffer strips, walls, fences, hedges and
landscaping.
c. Performance standards relative to emission of noise, vibration or
other potentially dangerous or objective elements.
d. Limits on time of day for conduct of specified activities.
e. Guarantees as to compliance with the terms of approval.
D. Established. A conditional use may be located in any zoning
district after receiving approval from the Planning and Zoning Board.
A conditional use will not be allowed for any use that is otherwise
prohibited as a use contrary to the laws and Statutes of the Village
of Country Club or the State of Missouri.
E. Permit Issued — Termination. A conditional use permit
may be issued to the owner/occupant of the property (at the discretion
of the Planning and Zoning Board) for specific conditions in the use
of a property and/or building. Said permit shall be terminated when
either the use closes or the specified conditions previously approved
are violated.
