General standards for a special use permit

Uses requiring the granting of a special use permit in this ordinance shall be permitted by the Zoning Board of Review, following a public hearing, only if in the opinion of the board, such uses meet the following standards:

• • A. They will be compatible with the neighboring land uses;

  • B. They will not create a nuisance or a hazard in the neighborhood;

  • C. They will be compatible with the comprehensive community plan; and

  • D. The public convenience and welfare will be served.

In granting a special use permit, the board may prescribe such conditions and safeguards, as setbacks, screening and other requirements as it may deem necessary to prevent nuisance to and promote harmony with the use of nearby property. The disregarding of any conditions or safeguard, when made part of the terms under which a special use permit is granted, shall be deemed a violation of this ordinance.
