Approved Conditional Use Permit Conditions    


Approved Application Conditions

CUP applications approved by the Commissioners contain specific time requirements within which the land use or construction of the proposed facility must begin.  There is also a time limit after which the CUP will expire if certain requirements are not met.  

In addition,  special conditions may be attached to approved CUPs which:

(1) Minimize adverse impact, such as damage, hazard, and nuisance, to persons or the subject property or property in the vicinity;

(2) Control the sequence and timing of development;

(3) Control the duration of development;

(4) Designate the exact location and nature of development;

(5) Require the provision for on site or off site public facilities or services;

(6) Require more restrictive standards than those generally required;

(7) Mitigate the negative impacts of the proposed development upon service delivery by any political subdivision, including school districts, providing services within the county.

Time Limitations

(1) Commencement: When a conditional use permit is granted, the land use or construction of its facility proposed in the application must have commenced within three (3) years of the date of the final approval completed within five (5) years of the same date. However, gravel pits are excepted from the time completion requirement. Electrical public service facilities are excepted from the above completion requirement and must be completed within ten (10) years of the date of the above final decision by the commission or the board or a court of appropriate jurisdiction, if appealed. If the use is not implemented within this time period, the use and its approval shall expire. Upon expiration of the use or the approval of that use as provided by this section, the applicant can seek approval of the use only by filing a new initial application for review by the commission.

(2) Expiration: After the three (3) year commencement limitation has expired, if any person, including staff or member of the commission, files a written notice presenting sufficient evidence, as determined by the directors, to establish that the land use or construction of its facility provided for in the conditional use permit, has not commenced, or after the five (5) year period that the use has been abandoned or has ended, the commission shall notice a public hearing. The burden of proof shall be on the person who files the notice. If the commission finds that the use has not been implemented or has been abandoned or has ended, it shall set aside the prior approval and order the property to revert to its prior status, unless extension of time is granted.
