§ 28-510. Purpose.

(a)

The formulation and enactment of a comprehensive zoning ordinance is based on the division of the entire village into districts in each of which are permitted specified uses that are mutually compatible.

(b)

In addition to such permitted compatible uses, however, it is recognized that there are other uses which it may be necessary or desirable to allow in a given district, but which because of their potential influence upon neighboring uses or public facilities, need to be carefully regulated with respect to location or operation for the protection of the community. Such uses are classified in this article as conditional uses.

(c)

Conditional uses may be permitted in the district in which listed upon petition for such grant to the planning commission and subject to the approval of the village board and to such other conditions as hereinafter designated.
