Certain types of uses require special consideration prior to their being permitted in a particular zone. The planning commission may allow a conditional use, after a hearing conducted pursuant to Chapter 16.132; provided, that the applicant provides evidence substantiating that all the requirements of this ordinance relative to the proposed use are satisfied, and demonstrates that the proposed use also satisfies the following criteria:
A. The use is listed as a conditional use in the underlying district;
B. The characteristics of the site are suitable for the proposed use considering size, shape, location, topography, existence of improvements and natural features;
C. The site and proposed development is timely, considering the adequacy of transportation systems, public facilities and services existing or planned for the area affected by the use;
D. The proposed use will not alter the character of the surrounding area in the manner which substantially limits, impairs, or precludes the use of surrounding properties for the primary uses listed in the underlying district;
E. The proposal satisfies the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan which apply to the proposed use. (Prior code § 10.570)
