A. 
Conditional uses are those types of uses which are considered by the City to be essentially desirable, necessary, or convenient to the community, but which by their nature or in their operation have:
1. 
A tendency to generate excessive traffic;
2. 
A potential for attracting a large number of persons to the area of the use, thus creating noise or other pollutants;
3. 
A detrimental effect upon the value or potential development of other properties in the neighborhood; or
4. 
An extraordinary potential for accidents or danger to public health or safety.
B. 
Such conditional uses cannot be allowed to locate as a "right" on any parcel of land within certain districts without consideration of existing conditions at the proposed location and of properties neighboring upon the specific site considered, nor without adequate and sufficient safeguards, when necessary, to lessen the impact of adverse factors.
C. 
The City Council may authorize by ordinance, under prescribed conditions, the construction or undertaking of any conditional use that is expressly permitted as a conditional use in a particular zoning district; however, the City reserves full authority to deny any request for a conditional use, to impose conditions on the use or to revoke approval at any time, upon a finding that the permitted conditional use will or has become unsuitable and incompatible in its location as a result of any nuisance or activity generated by the use.
[Ord. No. 7042, 8-24-2023]
A. 
There shall be two (2) types of conditional use permits:
1. 
Those that can only be authorized by the City Council; and
2. 
Those that can be approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
B. 
Subject to the right of appeal to the City Council or request for review by the City Council, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall review applications and act upon requests for conditional use permits with regard to those land uses listed on Appendix A[1] as "C-A."
Any conditional use permit under consideration by the Planning and Zoning Commission shall be in the form of a resolution. Said resolution shall include all conditions, safeguards and restrictions upon the conditional use deemed necessary by the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Editor's Note: See Title IV, Appendixes.
C. 
For all other land uses on Appendix A[2] designated by the letter "C," upon receipt of a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission, the City Council shall have the authority to grant a conditional use permit. The conditional use permit under consideration by the City Council shall be in the form of an ordinance. Said ordinance shall include all conditions, safeguards and restrictions upon the conditional use deemed necessary by the City Council.

Editor's Note: See Title IV, Appendixes.
[Ord. No. 7042, 8-24-2023]
A. 
Any change in the scope, use or aspect of an operation approved for a conditional use permit which results in a condition that differs from the provisions contained in the approved conditional use permit requires the approval of an amendment. All requests for amendments shall be made in the same manner as an original application for a conditional use permit.
B. 
Requests for amendments which, in the professional judgment and sole administrative discretion of the Director of the Planning and Development Department or his/her designee, are insubstantial change(s) to the approved conditional use may be reviewed by staff for completeness and approved by the Director. In exercising his or her professional judgment and administrative discretion the Director shall consider whether the proposed change is consistent with the goals of the conditional use permit process in Section 400.300(A), above, and the permit approval criteria in Section 400.325, below, and take into account:
1. 
The nature, intensity, location and orientation of the conditionally permitted use, as existing and proposed, and the property on which it is located;
2. 
Compatibility with the use and zoning of adjacent and nearby properties and reasonably likely future use of such properties;
3. 
The impact of the conditionally permitted use and the proposed change on on-site and off-site traffic, roadways, public safety and public services;
4. 
Existing and foreseeable environmental impacts of the conditionally permitted use and proposed change due to noise, light and odor, runoff, etc.; and
5. 
Whether the existing conditionally permitted use has been operated in conformity with current permit and all other applicable regulations and ordinances. The following amendments may, at the discretion of the Director, represent insubstantial changes from the provisions of the originally approved conditional use permit:
a. 
Change in hours or days of operation (other than the days or hours when live entertainment is provided);
b. 
Renovation, remodeling, reconfiguration or expansion of structures or parking associated with the conditionally permitted use, provided that the scale, intensity and orientation of the conditionally permitted use are unchanged and subject to any applicable site plan approval;
c. 
Expansion of an existing drive-through facility (e.g., adding an ATM machine or additional drive-through service lane);
d. 
Other similar changes deemed to be insubstantial by the Director of Planning and Development or his/her designee.
If processing or approval as an insubstantial change is denied, the applicant may submit the proposed amendment for consideration as an amendment that represents a substantial change in accord with Subsection (C), below.
C. 
All other amendments shall be processed in the same manner as an original application for a conditional use permit. The following is a list of amendments that represent a substantial change from the provisions of the originally approved conditional use permit:
1. 
Expansion of the boundary or leasable limits of area to which a conditional use permit applies;
2. 
Addition of live entertainment;
3. 
Other changes deemed to be substantial by the Director of Planning and Development or his/her designee.

Any change in the ownership or operating entity named as the permittee of the approved conditional use permit will require a transfer of the conditional use permit in accord with Subsections (C) or (D) below.
B. 
All requests for transfers, together with the specified fee, must be filed on an application available through the Planning and Development Department. Additional documentation regarding ownership of the operation, sale/lease arrangements, and any intended changes of the permitted use may also be required as part of the application process.
C. 
Taking into consideration: (a) the nature, size, intensity and scale of the permitted activities; (b) location of the subject property; (c) the character and proximity of other nearby land uses; and (d) any other relevant circumstances, if the Director of Planning and Development, in the exercise of his or her sole and sound administrative discretion, determines that the proposed transfer represents only a transfer of ownership without any modification of the intensity or character of the permitted use and that there is reason to believe the proposed transferee will adhere to the conditions applicable to the use in question, the Director may authorize transfer of the conditional use permit.
D. 
If the proposed transfer involves: (a) any use referenced in or regulated by Section 400.330; (b) changes to intensity, scale, or character of the permitted use; (c) additional activities or uses not previously conducted on the subject property; or (d) combination with adjoining uses or property, or if the Director in his or her sole and sound administrative discretion determines that the interests of the public warrant greater scrutiny and consideration of the proposed transfer, the application for transfer shall be referred to the Planning and Zoning Commission for review and consideration in the same manner as an original application for a conditional use permit.

A. 
There shall be an opportunity for citizen comments on each application for conditional use permit before both the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council. Such opportunity for citizen comments shall be granted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission and the Council. The decision to recommend approval or denial of the proposed conditional use permit shall be based on the following criteria:
1. 
The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable provisions of these Regulations, including intensity of use regulations, yard regulations and use limitations.
2. 
The proposed conditional use at the specified location will contribute to and promote the welfare or convenience of the public.
3. 
The proposed conditional use will not cause substantial injury to the value of other property in the neighborhood in which it is to be located.
4. 
The location and size of the conditional use, the nature and intensity of the operation involved in or conducted in connection with it, and the location of the site with respect to streets giving access to it are such that the conditional use will not dominate the immediate neighborhood so as to prevent development and use of neighboring property in accordance with the applicable zoning district regulations. In determining whether the conditional use will dominate the immediate neighborhood, consideration shall be given to:

The location, nature and height of buildings, structures, walls, and fences on the site; and
b. 
The nature and extent of proposed landscaping and screening on the site.

8. 
In consideration of requests for any conditional use permits the Planning and Zoning Commission/City Council shall require such conditions of use as it deems necessary to protect the best interests of the City and the surrounding property and to achieve the objectives of this Chapter. These additional requirements shall include, but not be limited to, those special provisions applying to miscellaneous conditional uses, specified in Section 400.330.
A violation of a requirement, condition, or safeguard shall be considered a violation of this Chapter, and grounds for an Administrative Official of the City to terminate and cancel such conditional use permit.
9. 
A time limitation may be required on the conditional use specified in Appendix "A"[1] of this Chapter. Said conditional use permit shall be renewable at the discretion of the Planning and Zoning Commission/City Council.

Editor's Note: See Title IV, Appendixes.
10. 
No application which has been denied (either wholly or in part) shall be resubmitted for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of said order of denial, except on grounds of new evidence or proof of change of factors found valid by the Director of Planning and Development.
If the facts in the case do not establish that the findings and standards set forth in this Chapter will apply to the proposed use, the conditional use shall be denied.

The City Council shall decide whether to refer the matter first to the Planning and Zoning Commission for its recommendation. If the matter is referred to the Commission, the Commission shall follow the same procedure for hearing as set forth herein.
2. 
The City Council or its designee shall set a hearing to consider the matter. At least ten (10) days prior to such hearing, written notice shall be mailed to the permittee at the last-known address as shown in the records of the City Clerk advising the permittee of the time and place of the hearing and of the reason for considering the suspension or revocation of the conditional use permit.
3. 
During the pendency of this hearing the permittee shall be permitted to continue the operation of the business or land use; provided, however, that the pendency of such hearing shall not preclude prosecution for violation of the ordinances of the City occurring during such period.
4. 
A hearing officer may be appointed to preside at the hearing. At the hearing, the hearing officer shall hear all relevant evidence justifying the suspension or revocation of the conditional use permit and all relevant evidence justifying the retention of the permit.
5. 
The permittee shall be notified of the results of the hearing in writing.
6. 
In the event that a permittee whose conditional use permit has been revoked pursuant to this Section, or a related entity of a permittee whose conditional use permit has been revoked pursuant to this Section, shall thereafter apply for a substantially similar permit, the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council may take into account the act(s) and circumstances which lead to the revocation in considering the new application.
7. 
Any person aggrieved by the determination of the hearing aforesaid may appeal such determination in accordance with this Article. The filing of an appeal shall not stay the outcome of the administrative determination unless the City Council shall suspend the effect of the determination upon request of the aggrieved party.
8. 
Any person aggrieved by the decision on appeal of the City Council may seek judicial review by filing a petition for same with the Circuit Court of St. Charles County within fifteen (15) days of the date of the Council's decision.
