Conditional Use Permit

A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) allows the City to consider special uses which are not allowed outright within a zone through a public hearing process.  A Conditional Use Permit is required for a change in use or the expansion of a legal non-conforming use if the proposed changes would increase the size, square footage, seating capacity or parking of existing permitted improvements by 20% or more.

Conditional Use Permits require the submittal of a Land Use Application Form with the information required per the Conditional Use Permit Checklist. This land use is a Type III process with a public hearing before a Hearings Officer.

 

A neighborhood meeting notice is not a formal land use application.  A neighborhood meeting is required to be held by the developer for certain types of land use applications PRIOR to submitting an application for land development to the City (Type III and above).  If you receive a notice in the mail, it is because you live within 1000 feet of a piece of property that someone is considering for development.
