§126.0501 Purpose of the Site Development Permit Procedures¶
The purpose of the Site Development Permit procedures is to establish a review process for proposed development that, because of its site, location, size, or some other characteristic, may have significant impacts on resources or on the surrounding area, even if developed in conformance with all regulations. The intent of these procedures is to apply site-specific conditions as necessary to assure that the development does not adversely affect the applicable land use plan and to help ensure that all regulations are met.

constraints peculiar to the land; or the granting of the exception is
needed to permit roofline and facade variations, accents, tower
elements, and other similar elements and the elements will not

(3) The use to which the applicant proposes to put the property will
provide a greater public benefit than continued use of the property as a
mobilehome park or mobilehome spaces.
