Editor's Note: District Use Chart is included as an attachment to this title.
Conditional uses are those uses that because of their special impact or characteristics can have adverse impacts upon or be incompatible with other uses of land. This impact often cannot be determined in advance of the use being proposed for a specific location. Such uses may be allowed to locate within given districts only through the public hearing process for a conditional use permit. This chapter establishes general and specific development standards for conditional uses and provides for a review process which will evaluate the location, scale and characteristics of said uses and their impact on adjacent properties and the community as a whole.

The hearing examiner is authorized to approve with the outright conditions stated in this chapter and additional conditions deemed necessary to satisfy the purposes of this chapter, and the review criteria found in Section 11.93.040, a request for a conditional use permit. Any additional requirements obtained from other sections of the Chelan County Code above those specified in this title or modification of the proposal to comply with specified requirements or local conditions are also authorized. The hearing examiner may deny an application for a conditional use permit if the proposal fails to meet the criteria outlined in Section 11.93.040.
When the hearing examiner determines that additional information is necessary to make a decision, action on said application shall be continued until such information is available; provided, that the extension shall not exceed thirty days unless the applicant consents to a longer period. Following the review of the additional information, the hearing examiner shall take action on the application.
