What is Parallel Conditional Use Zoning (PCUP)?
Parallel conditional use districts are established to consider situations where a particular use may be acceptable on a lot or tract of land but the other uses permitted in a general zoning district would not be acceptable. Such rezoning is made contingent upon the property owner meeting fair and reasonable conditions, associated with the issuance of a conditional use permit, that ensure the compatibility of the use with surrounding properties and promote the general welfare of the community. Refer to Section 5.16.4. http://www.co.gaston.nc.us/Planning/UDO/AdoptedUDO/I_Ch5_Permit_Approval.
