§ 4.1. Purpose.  


Latest version.
  • The purpose of a Specific Use Permit (SUP) is to allow discretionary consideration of certain uses that would typically be considered incompatible within certain locations of a zoning district, but may become compatible with the addition of special provisions, conditions or restrictions. A SUP does not change the base zoning; it allows a particular use that would not normally be permitted in that zoning district. The SUP requirement for any land use is identified in the Permitted Land Use table contained in Article IV, Permissible Uses, of this Unified Development Code. The discretionary SUP procedure is designed to enable the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council to impose conditions upon such uses and structures that are designed to avoid, minimize or mitigate potentially adverse effects upon the community or other properties in the vicinity of the proposed use or structure, and to deny requests for a SUP when it is apparent that a proposed use or structure will or may occasionally harm the community or cause injury to the value, lawful use, and reasonable enjoyment of other properties in the vicinity of the proposed use or structure.
