14.30.170 Conditional use permit.
Certain uses may only be permitted in a zoning district through the issuance of a conditional use permit.
A. The approval of a conditional use permit shall be based on a finding by the city that:
1. The use will not endanger the public health, safety, or welfare;
2. The location and character of the use if developed according to the plan as submitted and approved or conditionally approved will be compatible and in harmony with the area in which it is to be located;
3. The proposed use is in general conformity with the city’s comprehensive plan; and
4. The use meets all required conditions and specifications set forth in the zone where it is proposed to be located unless a variance has been granted by the city.
B. The city shall have the authority to require and approve specific plans and to increase the requirements set forth in the Municipal Code. Any reduction in the requirements of these titles shall only be granted through the approval of a variance.
C. If the potential adverse impacts of a proposed development activity cannot be adequately mitigated through conditions of approval, the city may deny the application for a conditional use permit.
