§ 23.10. Purpose.  


Latest version.
  • The formulation and enactment of this Ordinance is based upon the division of the city into specific districts, in each of which certain specified, mutually compatible uses are permitted by right. In addition to such uses, however, there are certain other uses which may be essential or desirable for the welfare of the community and its citizenry, or substantial parts of it. Such uses may be entirely appropriate and not essentially incompatible with the uses permitted by right in a zoning district, though not at every or even at any location therein, or without restrictions or conditions being imposed by reason of special problems presented by the use or its particular location in relation to neighboring properties.

    This Ordinance therefore requires approval of conditional uses of each use listed in the individual zoning districts as "conditional uses", and specifies in this section the procedures and standards that are to be followed.
