Conditional Use


Purpose

The purpose of a Conditional Use Permit is to individually and publicly review the configuration, density, and intensity of a use that is generally compatible with the character of a zone, but requires additional, site-specific conditions to limit and mitigate effects that may be adverse to the desired character of the zone.

When Is This Required?

Section 6.1.1 of the land development regulations (LDRs) contains the use schedule for all zones. Allowed uses that require a conditional use permit are denoted with a “C.” You can also determine whether a conditional use permit is required by referencing subsection C of the applicable zone.

Process

  • How Long: Up to 150 days after application deemed sufficient
  • Who Decides:
    • Recommendation: Planning Commission
    • Final Decision: Town Council

Helpful Tips

  • Your project will be reviewed by several departments in addition to Planning, so when drafting your project description/narrative please provide as much detail pertaining to existing site conditions (i.e. lot size, existing development, etc.) and proposed physical changes (i.e. scale of development, building height, etc.). 
  • Provide a complete LDR compliance table which addresses how your project complies with each item in the applicable zone. For aspects that the project may be existing nonconforming, the table should indicate which of those items are nonconforming and either how you are exempt from compliance or how you intend to address the nonconformance.
