The purpose of the conditional use permit is to allow uses which
meet the intent of the Zoning Ordinance but which require certain
conditions for the harmonious integration of that use into the community.
A conditional use shall comply with the standards of the zone
in which it is located, except as those standards have been modified
by the Zoning Board of Appeals when consideration has been given to
the following:
A. The proposed use shall be in harmony with the general purpose and
intent of this chapter, taking into account the locations and size
of use, the nature and intensity of the operations, and the access
thereto.
B. The establishment, maintenance or operation of the proposed use shall
not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of persons
in the community or injurious to neighborhood property.
C. Where a nonconforming use existed prior to the effective date of
this chapter and there has been a requested change in use or in lot
area or an alteration of structure.
D. A conditional use permit shall become void one year after approval
or after such time specified as a condition of approval, unless within
that time the required building construction, alteration or enlargement
is completed. The Zoning Board of Appeals may extend the permit for
a period of one year. The initial date of reference shall be the date
of the final site plan approval.
E. The conditional use permit shall be void if the use shall cease for
more than six months for any reason.
F. The Zoning Board of Appeals may, in its concern for the community
safety and welfare, place an expiration date on the permit at which
time the established conditions shall be reviewed or appropriately
modified for the renewal of the conditional use, or for sufficient
cause the permit may be made void.
G. The Zoning Board of Appeals, on its own motion, may revoke a conditional
use permit for noncompliance of any condition set forth in the granting
of said permit after first holding a duly advertised public hearing.
The Zoning Board of Appeals shall notify the applicant for a
conditional use, in writing, of the Zoning Board of Appeals action
within five days after the decision has been rendered.
