Name_________________________________ Date____________________

WHAT IS A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT?

The Estacada Development Code specifically identifies certain types of land uses that may be allowed in each zoning district. A Conditional Use is a type of land use that may only be allowed after a review to evaluate the potential impacts of the use and to determine if the use is appropriate and compatible in the area.

WHAT IS NEEDED FOR APPROVAL?

All conditional use permits are discretionary and MAY be permitted after evaluation according to criteria in the Estacada Development Code. The Planning Commission must make written findings to support their decision. The applicant is responsible for providing evidence to support the conditional use request, according to the criteria in Section 16.88 of the Estacada Development Code.

WHAT ARE CHANCES FOR APPROVAL?

Staff cannot predetermine the decision on this or any application. A decision of approval or denial will only be made after the complete application is processed. This includes review of citizen and agency comments. The decision is based on criteria appropriate to this application as listed in the code. In order to address the necessary criteria, the information requested in this supplemental application should be as thorough and complete as possible.

APPLICATION PROCESS

Conditional use permits are subject to the public hearing process and public notice. Public comments received from property owners, agencies and other interested parties may affect the decision on the application. Special conditions may be attached to any approval. All Conditional Use applications are reviewed at a public hearing before the Estacada Planning Commission. The Planning Commission's decision may be appealed to the Estacada City Council, and to the State Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA).
