(a) 
The conditional use permit district is a specific zoning classification. The uses that normally fall into the conditional use category are uses that have unique characteristics that may, depending on the location of the property, require different conditions and regulations not otherwise listed under the basic zoning districts. For this reason, when an applicant seeks a change of zoning for a use listed in the conditional use section, the planning and zoning commission may recommend, and the town council may impose, necessary additional special zoning conditions.
(b) 
Because a conditional use permit is a specific zoning classification, it may not be made temporary by scheduling it to automatically terminate at a specific time. Therefore, in the event the planning and zoning commission or the town council wishes to make the grant temporary in nature, the applicant shall be placed on notice that the grant is temporary in nature and the granting ordinance must contain a provision substantially as follows: “It is the intent of the granting authority to terminate this Conditional Use Permit after the expiration of one year (or other time period) by initiating a zoning change to remove the Conditional Use Permit herein granted as a zoning classification for the property.”
(1998 Code, sec. 154.135)
Property zoned for a conditional use retains or shall be given a basic zoning classification, so that the conditional use shall be in addition to the authorized use under the basic zoning of the property. The basic land use district regulations shall be applicable for any permitted use other than the conditional use. Also, the basic land use district regulations shall apply to the conditional use unless changed at the time of the grant of the conditional use permit zoning. Therefore, any special condition or regulation established by the grant of the conditional use shall control the specific use and supersedes any conflicting basic condition or regulation; however, where the grant of the conditional use is silent as to a condition or regulation that is posed by the basic classification of the property, the basic condition or regulation shall control.
(1998 Code, sec. 154.136)
Any application for a change of zoning to a conditional use permit classification shall be processed in the same manner as any other request for a zoning change, to wit: a proper application, public hearing before the planning and zoning commission, public hearing before town council, and final adoption of an ordinance amending the comprehensive zoning ordinance and the zoning map of the town.
(1998 Code, sec. 154.137)
(a) 
A building, structure or premises used for any of the following purposes shall be permitted only upon the grant of a conditional use permit zoning district classification. The town council may, after public hearing and proper notice to all parties affected, and, after recommendation from the planning and zoning commission containing such requirements and safeguards as are necessary to protect adjoining property, authorize by ordinance the location of any of the following in the following specified districts:

(Ordinance 2015-19 adopted 8/4/15)
In addition to any other provision in this article regulating applications for zoning change, an application for zoning change requesting a conditional use permit district classification shall be accompanied by a site plan containing the following information:
(1) 
Date, scale, north point, name of owner, name of person preparing the site plan.
(2) 
Location of existing boundary lines and dimensions of the tract.
(3) 
Minimum building setback dimensions adjacent to all property lines.
(4) 
Drawings and data necessary to show the full scope of the facility.
(5) 
Designation of the location and size of points if ingress and egress.
(6) 
The centerline of any existing watercourse, drainage feature or floodway easement.
(7) 
The location and size of existing and proposed streets and alleys with location of all street intersections adjacent to the area of request.
(8) 
In addition to the site plan, an area map shall be required indicating the neighborhood in which the property is located and showing the existing zoning of adjacent properties.
(9) 
Where screening, landscaping or a drainage study may be essential to the granting of the conditional use permit, the applicant, to avoid delay or denial in the processing of his request, should provide an adequate screening plan, landscaping plan or drainage study. The screening plan and landscaping plan may be separate plans or a part of applicant's site plan.
(10) 
For conditional use permit requests for gas or oil well drilling and production sites, the applicant's site plan must also meet the requirements of section 14.04.033 of the town's oil and gas well drilling and production regulations set forth in chapter 14, article 14.04.
(Ordinance 2011-12-6D, sec. 2.02, adopted 12/6/11)
Any applicant seeking a land use not otherwise authorized by the comprehensive zoning ordinance, as amended, or as listed in this section, may make application to amend this section to include the unlisted use and may at the same time make application for a conditional use zoning change for such use, on a specific property. In such a case both amendments may be heard at the same time by the planning and zoning commission; may be heard at the same time by town council; and the adoptive ordinances may be acted upon by the town council on the same date.
(1998 Code, sec. 154.140)
In granting or denying an application for conditional use permit zoning district classification, the planning and zoning commission in its recommendation and the governing body of the town may take into consideration the following factors:
(1) 
Safety of motoring public and of pedestrians using the facility and the area immediately surrounding the site.
(2) 
Safety from fire hazards and measures of fire control.
(3) 
Protecting the property, adjacent property, and other properties within the town from flood or water damage.
(4) 
Noise-producing elements, glare of vehicular and stationary lights and the effect of such noise and lights on the established character of neighboring property.
(5) 
Street size and adequacy of pavement width for traffic reasonably expected to be generated by the proposed use around the site and in the immediate neighborhood.
(6) 
Adequacy of on-site and off-site parking facilities, location of ingress and egress points for parking and off-street loading, and the surfacing of all parking areas to control dust and for the protection of public health.
(7) 
Such other measures as will secure and protect public health, safety, morals and general welfare.
(8) 
Off-street parking, unless specifically regulated in the ordinance adopting the conditional use permit zoning classification, shall be governed by other applicable provisions of the comprehensive zoning ordinance or other applicable ordinances of the town.
(9) 
The economic and/or environmental impact the use may have on property within the town as a whole, as well as on adjacent property, and whether an economic and/or environmental impact study should be submitted as a part of the application for conditional use permit.
(10) 
The aesthetic appearance of the use, and other sensory effects that the use may have on the established character of the neighborhood, its property and the property within the town as a whole.
(1998 Code, sec. 154.141)
All improvements to the land and all buildings and construction on the land shall be in accordance with the site plan and/or the development plan which shall be made a part of the adoptive ordinance. After adoption of the ordinance that grants the conditional use zoning change, the town council, upon finding that a requested site plan change is a minor change that will not adversely impact adjacent or other properties within the town, may authorize by written order, the minor alteration to the site plan, without further notice, public hearings, reports from the planning and zoning commission or amendment to the original ordinance. The council’s order shall be attached to or filed with the original ordinance; provided, however, no such amendment to the site plan should be made that would conflict with the final plat of such property after the final plat has been approved by the town and filed of record.
(1998 Code, sec. 154.142)
(a) 
On the official zoning map of the town, a conditional use permit district shall bear the prefix designation of the base zoning and “CU” followed by the ordinance number granting the conditional use permit classification.
(b) 
For example, a property with a base zoning classification of general business (GB), that is granted a conditional use permit zoning classification for operation of a golf course, should be designated in the adoptive ordinance as having a zoning classification of general business (GB) with a conditional use permit to operate a golf course and on the zoning map designated as (GB) CU followed by the adoptive ordinance number.
(1998 Code, sec. 154.143)
All CU permits approved prior to adoption of this article are brought forward and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the adoptive ordinance and shall be referenced on the zoning district map by date and ordinance number.
(1998 Code, sec. 154.144)
