Section 175-136 SPECIAL USE PERMITS
Where uses are permitted by special permit, the
location and
beginning of operation of such uses shall require, in addition
to the zoning
permit and certificate of occupancy, a special use permit. The
issuance of
these permits shall be subject to such conditions as are
required in this
chapter and such conditions as are deemed necessary by the
Front Royal Town
Council, after recommendations of the Front Royal Planning
Commission. At
a minimum, a special use permit may only be permitted, when
Town Council
determines that the use (i) is not detrimental to the overall
health, safety
and general welfare of the public, (ii) does not conflict with
the
Comprehensive Plan, (iii) is substantially compatible with
surrounding land
uses, and (iv) complies with laws of the Commonwealth of
Virginia. Application for a special use permit shall be
made to the Zoning
Administrator, and a public hearing shall be held in
accordance with the
provisions of Virginia Code §15.2-2204 or
§15.2-2286. Special use permits are
not transferable to another party. In the event that a
special use
request is denied, the same special use request, or
substantially the same
special use request, shall not be considered by the Town
Council or the Board
of Zoning Appeals for a period of one (1) year from the date
on which the
special use permit request was denied.
