§ 22.160

The Minor Conditional Use Permit is established to regulate uses and development that, by their nature, are limited in scope and impacts, and may be appropriate in the applicable zone and require additional consideration to ensure proper integration with the surrounding community.

A.

Zones. This Chapter authorizes uses identified by this Title 22 as subject to the approval of a Minor Conditional Use Permit.

A.

Adequate Water Supply—Criteria. If it appears that the use requested will require a greater water supply for adequate fire protection than does either the existing use or any use permitted without a Minor Conditional Use Permit in the same zone, and will not comply with the provisions of Division 1 (Water) of Title 20 of the County Code, such facts shall be prima facie evidence that such requested use will adversely affect and be materially detrimental to adjacent uses, buildings and structures and will not comply with the findings required by this Chapter. If the Water Appeals Board grants a variance pursuant to any provision of Chapter 20.12 (Water Appeals Board) of said Division 1, permitting the proposed use with the existing or proposed water supply, this Section shall not apply.

(Ord. 2019-0004 § 1, 2019.)

The requested use at the location proposed will not:

a.

Adversely affect the health, peace, comfort, or welfare of persons residing or working in the surrounding area;

b.

Be materially detrimental to the use, enjoyment, or valuation of property of other persons located in the vicinity of the site; and

c.

Jeopardize, endanger, or otherwise constitute a menace to the public health, safety, or general welfare.

3.

The proposed site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards, walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, landscaping, and other development features prescribed in this Title 22, or as is otherwise required in order to integrate said use with the uses in the surrounding area.

4.

The proposed site is adequately served:

(Ord. 2019-0004 § 1, 2019.)

The Hearing Officer may impose conditions to ensure that the approval will be in accordance with the findings required by Section 22.160.050 (Findings and Decisions). Such conditions may include those in Section 22.158.060 (Conditions of Approval).

(Ord. 2019-0004 § 1, 2019.)

Unless specifically modified by a Minor Conditional Use Permit, all regulations prescribed in the zone in which such Minor Conditional Use Permit is granted shall apply.

(Ord. 2019-0004 § 1, 2019.)

The building bulk provisions prescribed in the various zones shall not apply to uses permitted by Minor Conditional Use Permit. In granting a Minor Conditional Use Permit application, the Hearing Officer shall prescribe the height limit, maximum lot coverage, or floor-area ratio for the use approved. Where the

Hearing Officer fails to specify said height limit, maximum lot coverage, or floor-area ratio, those provisions applicable to principal permitted uses in the specific zone shall be deemed to be so specified.
