[Ord. 95-07, 12/14/1995, § 1100]
The Special Use (SU) District is designed to accommodate a variety of uses which because of their nature may be incompatible with most other uses provided in other districts. Special uses due to their intensity, or community impact, are best centralized in areas where incompatibilities are limited and as infrastructure can be created which provides a reasonable opportunity for these uses in the context of the community character.
