Rocklin Municipal Code § 17.70.140 Grounds—Requirement—Written findings

A. Conditional use permits may be issued for any of the uses or purposes for which such permits are required or permitted by the terms of this title. Because of their unusual characteristics, conditional uses require special consideration so that they may be located and developed properly with respect to the objectives of this title and with respect to their effect on surrounding property.

B. The grant of a conditional use permit shall be based on a finding by the decisionmaking body that the establishment, maintenance or operation of the use, building or structure applied for will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use or be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood, or to the general welfare of the city.

C. Whether or not it approves the conditional use permit, the decisionmaking body shall set forth in writing the findings of fact upon which it based its decision.

(Ord. 581 § 9, 1988: Ord. 336 § 3.03.000, 1977).

From time to time persons in possession of property desire to use property for purposes which are not specifically provided for in this chapter. In order to carry out the intent of this chapter to promote the general welfare of the community, a conditional use permit may be granted for uses which are not provided for in the zoning classification, subject to the following:

A. A finding that the use is substantially similar in character to a use or uses within the zoning classification applicable to the property;

B. A finding that the use would be appropriate in the zoning classification applicable to the property as a conditional use;

C. A finding that the proposed use, with the appropriate conditions, will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use, or be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood or to the general welfare of the city.
