Conditional Use Permit. (a) Purpose. The purpose of this section is to provide the city with a reasonable degree of discretion in determining the suitability of certain designated uses upon the general welfare, public health, and safety. A conditional use is a use that, because of certain characteristics, cannot be properly classified as a permitted use in the zoning district within which it is proposed. Conditional use permits are designed to meet the problem which arises where certain uses, although generally compatible with the basic use classification of a particular zone, should not be permitted to be located as a matter of right in every area included within the zone because of hazards inherent in the use itself or special problems which its proposed location may represent. (b) Procedure. (1) Request for conditional use permits, as provided within this chapter shall be Piled with the city on an official application form. Such application shall be accompanied by a fee and escrow as provided for in section 117-48. Such application shall also be accompanied by a sufficient number of copies as required by the zoning administrator of detailed written and graphic materials fully explaining the proposed change, development, or use. The request shall be considered as being officially submitted when the information requirements of this section are met. (2) Proof of ownership or authorization: If the applicant is other than fee title owner, then the fee title owner must also join in the application.
