Special use permits authorized by this chapter

In accordance with the procedure established in article 2 (Zoning board of review) hereof [of this chapter], the zoning board may, in appropriate cases and subject to conditions and safeguards as further provided in this chapter, make exceptions to the terms of this chapter in harmony with the general purposes and intents of this chapter and the comprehensive plan. Special use permits may be granted by the zoning board for the uses listed as special use in section 82-601 (Uses and districts) herein, for change of a nonconforming use as provided in article 9 (Nonconforming uses) [of this chapter], and for accessory structures located in front yards as provided in section 82-700 (Accessory structures) herein.

Any proposed land use that is not specifically listed in section 82-601 may be presented by the applicant to the zoning board for an evaluation and determination of whether the proposed use is of a similar type, character, and intensity as a listed use requiring a special use permit. Upon such determination, the proposed use may be considered to be a use requiring a special use permit.
