Special Use Permit

2.5.5.

A. Purpose A use designated as a Special Use in a particular zoning district is a use that may be appropriate in the district, but because of its nature, extent, and external effects, requires special consideration of its location, design, and methods of operation before it can be deemed appropriate in the district and compatible with its surroundings. The purpose of this section is to establish a mechanism to review Special Uses to ensure they are appropriate as and where proposed.
