§ 153.921. Purposes and authorization.

In order to give the use regulations the flexibility necessary to achieve the objectives of this title, and to account for the widely varying needs of some uses, in each district certain conditional uses are permitted subject to the granting of a use permit. Conditional uses include various types of community facilities and institutions, public buildings and grounds, public utility structures and installations, and other uses which do not precisely fit into the zoning district classifications. Because of their unusual characteristics, conditional uses require special consideration so that they may be located with respect to the objectives of this chapter and the General Plan and with respect to their effects on surrounding properties. In order to achieve such objectives, the Planning Commission is empowered to grant or to deny applications for use permits for such conditional uses and to impose reasonable conditions upon the granting of use permits.
