[R.O. 2004 § 420.370; Ord. No. 2.56 § 4, 1-9-2001]
A.
Certain uses or exceptions are permitted
in some zoning districts only when a special use permit has been obtained
from the Governing Body. Such uses require special study with respect
to specific location and design considerations to assure that they
will have minimal negative impact on surrounding properties.
1.
The applicant shall first obtain
the proper application form from the office of the Zoning Administrator.
2.
The special use permit application
form shall be completely filled out and returned to the office of
the Zoning Administrator with the appropriate filing fee and required
information. An application shall not be scheduled for public hearing
until the application form has been fully completed, the fee paid
and all required information submitted.
3.
The office of the Zoning Administrator
shall be responsible for having an official notice of the public hearing
published in a newspaper of general circulation at least fifteen (15)
days prior to the hearing. The office of the Zoning Administrator
shall be responsible for following the administrative procedures for
a special use permit as prescribed in the adopted zoning regulations.
The notice shall fix the time and place of the hearing and shall describe
generally the special use permit requested.
4.
The Planning and Zoning Commission
shall hold a public hearing at which time citizens and parties of
interest shall have an opportunity to be heard.
5.
The public hearing may be adjourned
from time to time and, upon its conclusion, the Planning and Zoning
Commission shall prepare and adopt its recommendation to the Governing
Body. This recommendation shall be submitted along with an accurate
record of the public hearing.
