§ 118-100. Action on special exception use permit application.  


Latest version.
  • Upon receipt of the special exception use permit application as provided in section 118-99, the director of planning shall fix a reasonable time for the planning and zoning board hearing of the application, giving public notice thereof, as well as due notice to the parties in interest. Any party may appear in person or by agent or by attorney at the hearing. The planning and zoning board, after receiving a written recommendation from the city manager and after holding a hearing, shall approve, disapprove, or approve subject to modifications or conditions the special exception use permit application and accompanying preliminary plat. If the planning and zoning board approves the application, it may attach any necessary conditions such as time limitations, requirements that one or more things be done before the request can be initiated, or conditions of a continuing nature to ensure that there shall be no departure from the intent of this chapter. The planning and zoning board shall especially consider the effect of the special exception use on surrounding uses in determining whether a special exception use shall be approved, modified or disapproved. If the special exception use permit and accompanying preliminary plat is approved, the planning and zoning board shall express its approval as conditional approval and shall state the conditions of such approval, if any, or, if disapproved, shall express its disapproval and its reasons therefor. If an application is disapproved, reasons for such disapproval shall be stated in writing on the records of the planning and zoning board, and a statement in writing of such grounds of disapproval shall be furnished to the applicant or his agent. If approved subject to modifications or conditions, the nature of the required modifications or conditions shall also be indicated in writing on the records of the planning and zoning board and furnished to the applicant or his agent.
