Conditional Use Permit General Information
The Conditional Use Permit process is to potentially allow uses that are not permitted outright
within a zone district. These uses typically require a special degree of control to make sure the
uses are consistent with and compatible to other existing and permitted uses within a zone.
Requirements: A conditional use permit is required for all land uses listed as conditional uses
in the various zoning districts.
Procedures: At the time you submit an application, you must have all of the items listed on the
attached Conditional Use Permit Submittal Requirements form. Within 28 days of receiving
your application, city staff will determine if the application is complete based on the attached
checklist. If the application is not complete, then a letter detailing the required information will
be sent to you.
This type of application requires a public hearing before the Hearing Examiner. Please note that
the owner and/or representative must be present at the public hearing. The application will be
tabled if the owner or a representative is not in attendance.
The Hearing Examiner's written decision is in the form of a recommendation, with the City
Council making the final decision. If the council wishes to modify or reject the Hearing
Examiner's decision, then a closed record hearing must first be scheduled.
Please note that a conditional use permit must be implemented within two (2) years of the
approval. If a building permit or occupancy permit has not been issued within the two (2) year
period, the conditional use permit shall become null and void.
If you have any questions, please contact the Planning Department at 253-931-3090.
