§ 17.52.010. Purpose of conditional use procedure
Latest version.
A conditional use is a use of land or a structure which is normally appropriate, desirable, or necessary in a zone where it is permitted, but which, by virtue of a feature of that use, could create a problem within the area such as excessive height or bulk, congestion, a potential nuisance, or a health or safety hazard. It is the intent of this chapter to provide standards and procedures so that uses which are classified as conditional can fit into a particular zone in a manner so that the best interests of surrounding property, the neighborhood, and the city are safeguarded.
