CONDITIONAL USES
Sections:
25.135.010 Purpose.
A conditional use permit is a mechanism by which the city may require special conditions on development or on the use of land in order to insure that designated uses or activities are compatible with other uses in the same land use district and in the vicinity of the subject property. (Ord. 02-707 § 1)
25.135.020 Procedure.
Conditional use proposals shall be processed with a Type III procedure as set forth in DMC 25.175.010. (Ord. 02-707 § 1)
25.135.030 Review criteria.
In order to approve a conditional use permit, the decision maker shall make written findings of fact demonstrating that all of the following criteria are satisfied:
(1) That the use is listed as a conditional use, or that that listing for conditional uses contains the language permitting similar land uses in the district where the conditional use is proposed. For the use to be determined “similar” the majority of the aspects of use shall be the same or lesser than those of listed conditional uses;
(2) That the granting of such conditional use permit will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, comfort, convenience and general welfare, will not adversely affect the established character of the surrounding neighborhood, and will not be injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and/or district in which the property is located;
(3) That the proposed use is properly located in relation to the other land uses and to transportation and service facilities in the vicinity; and further, that the use can be adequately served by such public facilities and street capacities without placing an undue burden on such facilities and streets;
(4) That the site is of sufficient size to accommodate the proposed use and all yards, open spaces, walls and fences, parking, loading, landscaping and other such features required by the DMC;
(5) That the proposed use is consistent with the goals and policies of the DuPont comprehensive plan. (Ord. 02-707 § 1)
