24.19.310 PURPOSE

In order to give the use regulations the flexibility necessary to achieve the objectives of this Ordinance, conditional uses are permitted, subject to the granting of a Conditional Use Permit. Because of their unusual characteristics, conditional uses require special consideration so that they may be located properly with respect to the objectives of the Zoning Regulations and with respect to their effects on surrounding properties. In order to achieve these purposes, the Planning Commission is empowered to grant and to deny applications for use permits for such conditional uses in such zones as are prescribed in the Zone Regulations and to impose reasonable conditions upon the granting of Conditional Use Permits.
