§ 19.01. Purpose.  


Latest version.
  • Special uses are those uses of land which are not essentially incompatible with the uses permitted in a zoning district, but has characteristics or locational qualities which require individual review and discretion in order to avoid incompatibility with the character of the surrounding area, public services and facilities, and adjacent uses of land. The purpose of this chapter is to establish equitable procedures and criteria which shall be applied in the determination of request to establish special uses. The criteria for decision and requirements provided for under the provision of the chapter shall be in addition to those required elsewhere in this Ordinance which are applicable to the special use under consideration.
