[Added 9-6-2005 by L.L. No. 3-2005]
The special permit uses for which conformance
to additional standards is required by this chapter are considered
to be permitted uses in their respective districts, subject to compliance
with the additional standards as set forth herein and any other requirements
as deemed appropriate by the Board of Trustees. All such uses are
declared to possess such unique, special and/or individual characteristics
that each specific use must be considered as an individual case.
Special use permit approval by the Board of
Trustees shall be required prior to the issuance of a building permit
or certificate of occupancy for all structures or uses that require
special use permit approval by the Board of Trustees.
A.
Application. Formal application for a special use
permit shall be made to the Village Clerk, who shall be responsible
for forwarding it to the Board of Trustees. The formal application
shall include the following items:
(1)
A completed special use permit application form.
(2)
A written statement describing the nature of the proposed
use and how it will serve to implement the purposes of this chapter.
(3)
Twelve prints of a site plan and any other information
as required by the site plan review standards in this chapter.
(4)
All other supporting documents as determined necessary
or appropriate.
B.
Concurrent site plan review. Site plan approval under
this chapter shall be required for any site where a special use permit
is applied for. The special use permit and site plan approval procedures
shall run concurrently, and their approval shall be the responsibility
of the Board of Trustees.
C.
Public hearing. A public hearing shall be held concurrently
for both the special use permit and the site plan. Notice of such
hearing shall be the same as required by law for a zoning amendment.
D.
Expiration. A special use permit shall be deemed to
authorize only the particular use or uses specified in the resolution
of special use permit and site plan approval. The special use permit
shall expire if said use or uses shall cease for more than one year
for any reason or if all required improvements are not maintained
and all conditions and standards complied with throughout the duration
of the use. For a use intended to be temporary, the Board of Trustees
may issue a special use permit for a specific period of time.
E.
Amendments. Any change in the type or intensity of
an approved use, or reduction in lot size, shall require an amendment
to the special use permit in accordance with all of the application
and review requirements of this chapter.
All special permit uses shall comply with the
following standards, in addition to any other applicable requirements
of this chapter. The Board of Trustees shall attach such additional
conditions and safeguards to any special use permit as are, in its
opinion, necessary to ensure initial and continual conformance to
all applicable standards and requirements. A special use permit shall
also conform to the regulations of the zoning district in which the
use is located.
A.
The location and size of the special permit use, the
nature and intensity of the operations involved in it or conducted
in connection with it, the size of the site in relation to it, and
the location of the site with respect to streets giving access to
it shall be such that it will be in harmony with the appropriate and
orderly development of the area in which it is located.
B.
The location, nature and height of buildings, walls
and fences, and the nature and extent of existing or proposed plantings
on the site shall be such that the special permit use will not hinder
or discourage the appropriate development and use of adjacent land
and buildings.
C.
Operations in connection with any special permit use
shall not be more objectionable to nearby properties by reason of
noise, traffic, fumes, vibration or other characteristics than would
be the operations and impacts of permitted uses not requiring a special
use permit in that zoning district.
D.
Parking facilities shall be of adequate size for the
particular special permit use, properly located and suitably screened
from adjoining residential uses, and the entrance and exit drive(s)
shall be designed to achieve maximum convenience and safety.
