The facts on file

The story so far

Dates and wording are the source's own. Sources publish late and amend; the official record is the authority.

What this case is

Special exception or conditional use. A special exception (some jurisdictions say conditional use or special use) allows a use the zoning permits only after case-by-case review, such as a school in a residential district or a drive-through. A board decides it after a public hearing. The zoning itself does not change. If approved, the use is allowed on this site under the conditions in the approval. Site plans and building permits follow as usual.

Who decides what on this record:

• Planning Commission. An appointed board that holds the public hearing and votes on a recommendation. The elected board casts the deciding vote later. The elected board, meaning the county commission or the city council, casts the deciding vote at a later meeting.
