2-3.5 CONDITIONAL USE REVIEW

There are certain uses that, because of unique characteristics or the potential for detrimental impacts, may not be compatible in some areas of a zone or may be compatible only if certain conditions are imposed. The Planning Commission will evaluate all Conditional Use permit applications. The Planning Commission shall review and decide all applications for a Conditional Use permit according to the following procedure: A. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE. If determined necessary by the Planning Commission, an applicant shall attend a pre-application conference with the Planning Commission and other Town staff or departments to discuss the proposed improvements associated with the Conditional Use and the conditions that the staff would recommend to mitigate proposed adverse impacts. This meeting will allow other Town Departments to provide comments on the application. B. THE APPLICATION. An applicant must pay all appropriate fees and must file a complete application. C. PUBLIC HEARING. The Planning Commission may conduct a public hearing on the Conditional Use Permit application and shall either approve, deny, or modify and approve the application. Upon receipt of a complete application, the Town Clerk shall provide reasonable notice as provided in 2-3.8 Notice of this section, when it is determined that a public hearing is required. D. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW. The Town shall not issue a Conditional Use permit unless the Planning Commission, for all other Conditional Uses, concludes that the application complies with the standards of review specific to the zone in which the use is proposed. E. TRANSFERABILITY. A Conditional Use permit runs with the land. F. EXPIRATION. Unless otherwise indicated in the final conditions, Conditional Use permits shall expire one (1) year from the date of initial approval, unless the conditionally permitted use has commenced on the site. G. ANNUAL REVIEW. The Planning Commission may review Conditional Use permits on an annual basis for compliance with all final conditions of approval. H. REVOCATION. If the Planning Commission or the Building Official determines that the holder of a Conditional Use permit is in violation of the terms or conditions upon which the permit was issued, the Town Clerk shall notify the permit holder and schedule a hearing before the Planning Commission at which the permit holder must show cause to the Planning Commission why the Conditional Use permit should not be revoked. If the Planning Commission determines that the terms or conditions of the permit have been violated, it shall cause the permit holder to specify how the holder will promptly comply with the terms and conditions of the permit, or it shall revoke the permit. I. APPEALS. Appeals must be made pursuant to 2-3.17 Appeals of this section.
