What steps are necessary for getting a conditional use permit?
Conditional use permit applications follow a standard public hearing process. This process typically requires four to six months, and includes the following basic steps: • Informal review by planning staff. We will review the proposal in light of the Comprehensive Plan, the Zoning Ordinance, past approvals, and site-specific development and land use considerations. We inform potential applicants whether we will recommend approval, approval with certain conditions, or denial of the request. • Pre-Application meeting with planning staff to review application. • Formal submittal of application and application fee. • Staff analysis and report preparation, for Planning & Zoning Board review. • Planning & Zoning Board hearing. The Planning & Zoning Board forwards a recommendation on the case for final action by the Town Council • Town Council public hearing, where a final determination is made to approve or deny the request.
