This article sets forth the standards which shall be used by the Planning Board in reviewing applications for conditional uses. The uses to be considered conditional uses in each zoning district are set forth in this article and in the Schedule of Regulations in Article IV.[1] The procedure for review and approval of conditional uses by the Planning Board are set forth in Ordinance No. 361-77 of the City of Passaic,[2] and the Municipal Land Use Law (Chapter 291 of the Laws of 1975),[3] including requirements for public notice, notice to all property owners within 200 feet of the subject property and a public hearing by the Planning Board. All conditional uses shall require site plan approval by the Planning Board according to the procedures and standards set forth in Article VIII, Site Plan Approval, and the Municipal Land Use Law (Chapter 291 of the Laws of 1975).
