§ 712.01

Special land use permits

A.Within each zoning district’s standards, certain property uses may be allowed provided they obtain a Special Land Use Permit (SLUP) from City Council. This additional review is necessary due to the increased possibility that such uses may have a negative impact on surrounding properties and their value. The City retains its right to subject certain uses to greater scrutiny to determine if they are appropriate or if additional safeguards may mitigate potentially harmful effects on neighboring properties. Table B below denotes those uses which are permitted only after issuance of a Special Land Use Permit, permitted zoning districts and issuing entity.
