What is a conditional use permit?
It is a permit that is specifically and individually granted by the Planning Commission for a particular use of property as permitted within a specific zoning district. The permitted conditional uses are listed within each zoning district as a part of the Benton County Development Code. A public hearing is conducted by the Planning Commission for each conditional use permit application.
A conditional use permit is required for certain types of land use, due to the nature of the use, require special individual review. Such review is required to determine whether the proposed use, or the location of the use, is compatible with surrounding uses or can be made compatible through the imposition of development conditions. Contact the Community Development Department at 714.744.7220 for more information.
Theconditional use permit process allows the County to consider certain types of land uses (conditional uses) that are not normally permitted in a zoning district. This process allows a case-by-case review certain land uses, to examine how the proposed use would affect nearby properties. This review provides the opportunity for the public to express support or concerns about the proposed land use through public hearings. The Board of Supervisors makes final determinations on whether to grant a conditional use permit.
