ARTICLE XXVI
. Special Exception Uses
[Added 1-10-1989 by L.L. No. 1-1989]
§ 100-260. Purpose.
The provisions of this Article are designed to provide for
administrative review of selected types of proposed land uses.
Certain uses which are allowable under zoning are nevertheless
so likely to significantly affect their surroundings that they
require individual review to assure compatibility with existing
land use patterns, community character and the natural
environment before being permitted to come into existence.
Similarly, certain authorized uses may take on such diverse
forms in their actual implementation that it is wise to review
and pass upon the adherence of each individual proposal to
standards and guidelines previously .established for--Ahe use
involved. Finally, the case-by-case review achieved by use of the
special exception approval mechanism can increase the
flexibility and appropriateness of local development review and
better enable local officials to avoid negative consequences
which sometimes arise from the otherwise lawful development
or use of a particular site.
