Any individual, partnership, corporation, or group of persons having a proprietary interest in any property, upon proof of such, may petition the Commission for a Specific Use Permit permitted by Table 1 [at the end of this article] for the tract of land that the petitioners have the proprietary interest.
Prior to making its report to the Council, the Commission shall hold at least one public hearing thereon. Before the tenth day before the hearing date, written notice of each public hearing before the zoning commission on a proposed change in a zoning classification or zoning district boundaries shall be sent to each owner, as indicated by the most recently approved municipal tax roll, of real property within 200 feet of the property on which the change in classification is proposed. The notice may be served by its deposit in the municipality, properly addressed with postage paid, in the United States mail. Notice of hearings on proposed changes in zoning regulations shall be accomplished by one publication not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the public hearing in the official paper of the Town of Saint Paul.
Following the public hearing, the Commission shall make a recommendation to the Town Council at the properly noticed public hearing where the Council shall consider the granting or denial of the Specific Use Permit.
If the Council grants the Specific Use Permit, an ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance shall be prepared for action by the Council at its next regular meeting.
(Ordinance 130D, sec. 12-1, adopted 12/8/14)
Each Specific Use Permit granted under the provisions of this Article shall be considered as an amendment to the comprehensive zoning regulations as applicable to such property. In granting any specific use permit, the Town Council may impose conditions as necessary and which shall be complied with by the grantee before any building permit or occupancy permit may be issued.
Specific Use Permits may be granted for any period of time.
An unexpired Specific Use Permit may be transferred from one individual, corporation, partnership, or group of persons to another entity at the same location. No Specific Use Permit shall be transferred from one tract, parcel, or lot in the Town of St. Paul to another tract, parcel, or lot.
A request for renewal of a Specific Use Permit must be filed with the Town Secretary at least ninety (90) days prior to its termination or the Specific Use Permit may be terminated on the final date of time period granted.
(Ordinance 130D, sec. 12-2, adopted 12/8/14)
All recommendations made by the Commission to the Town Council shall be considered advisory in nature and shall not be binding upon the governing body; the Town Council shall have the sole and final authority to grant or deny any request for Specific Use Permits.
(Ordinance 130D, sec. 12-3, adopted 12/8/14)
When the Town Council authorizes granting of a Specific Use Permit, the Zoning Map shall be amended according to its legend to indicate that the affected area has conditional and limited uses, said amendment to indicate the specific use by an “S” designation.
