Title 17 LAND USE
Chapter 17.140 APPEALS
17.140.050 Special Use Permit Standards.
Before approving an application for a Special
Use Permit, the Planning Commission shall find, based upon evidence and
testimony presented at the hearing, that the following conditions have been
met:
A. The requested use is a use listed as a special use in the zone
district in which the parcel is located. Alternatively, the Planning
Commission may find, based upon the determination of the Pueblo County
Zoning Administrator or upon its own finding, that a requested use is
similar to those uses listed as uses-by-right or -by-review in the zone
district in which the parcel is located. A similar use determination by the
Zoning Administrator or by the Pueblo County Planning Commission shall not
be site specific and shall thereafter be binding upon Pueblo County in the
interpretation and administration of this Title unless and until the same is
amended in accordance with law and regulation.
B. The granting of the Special Use Permit will not substantially
modify the Land Use plan or the intent, purpose and spirit of this Title.
C. The Special Use Permit proposal incorporates reasonable means to
create an environment harmonious with that of the surrounding properties.
D. The Special Use Permit will not adversely affect the public
health, safety, or welfare.
