Conditional Use Permit Approval Process
A conditional use permit application shall be subject to a public hearing, review, and approval. Canyon County Ordinance
What Factors Are Evaluated
The Canyon County Commissioners evaluate applications for Condition User Permits before they make a decision whether or not to approve the application.
The commission shall consider each conditional use permit application by finding adequate evidence to answer the following questions in its findings of fact, conclusions of law, and order:
(1) Whether the proposed use is permitted in the zone by conditional use permit;
(2) A statement of the nature of the request;
(3) Whether the proposed use is consistent with the comprehensive plan;
(4) Whether the proposed use will be injurious to other property in the immediate vicinity and/or will negatively change the essential character of the area;
(5) Whether, if applicable, adequate water, sewer, irrigation, drainage and storm water drainage facilities, and utility systems are to be provided to accommodate said use;
(6) Whether legal access to the subject property for the development exists or will exist at the time of final plat;
(7) Whether there will be undue interference with existing or future traffic patterns;
(8) Whether essential services are to be provided to accommodate said use, such as, but not limited to, school facilities, police and fire protection, emergency medical services, and whether or not services will be negatively impacted by such use or will require additional public funding in order to meet the needs created by the requested use.
Prior to making a decision concerning a conditional use permit request, the commission or board may also require studies, at the applicant's expense, of the social, economic, fiscal, and environmental effects of the proposed conditional use.
