Conditional Use Permits

In each zoning district there are permitted uses and conditional uses. Conditional uses, neither absolutely permitted as a right nor prohibited by law, and which may be compatible within a zoning district. A Conditional use permit must be applied for and approved by the Planning Commission and the Board of County Commissioners. 

The purpose of a Conditional Use Permit is to enable the County to exercise some measure of control over the extent of certain activities which, although desirable in limited numbers, could have a detrimental effect within the district if they were permitted in large numbers. 

All Conditional Use Permit application must be complete and include a site plan of proposed use (if applicable), a completed application including property owner signature, proof of ownership, and non-refundable application fees.
