Special Use Permit Info
SPECIAL USE PERMIT GUIDANCE-Article 10 Special Use Permits
Certain land uses have been designated as requiring a special use permit (and thereby also requiring site plan
review and approval). These uses have been so designated because they are considered to be inherently
challenging and potentially incompatible with surrounding land uses due to the nature, intensity, size or type of
operation of the proposed use or due to its proposed location
The Planning Board may impose conditions such as limitations on the hours of use, the intensity of the use, the
use of structures and land, and any other condition reasonably related to the project that it deems necessary. The
Planning Board may require the posting of financial security in order to ensure that improvements and or
activities are carried out as related to the Special-use permit.
There are three types of permits which may be granted by the Planning Board, they are permanent, temporary,
or renewable.
Please provide a response to each of the following items as it relates to your project as part of your
application for a special use permit general criteria 179-10-060.
Special Permit Use refer to zoning code section and use table:
