Special exceptions generally are used to permit the establishment of a use in a zone where that use may or may not be compatible with other uses permit- ted in the zone, depending upon certain conditions of the site. For instance, a drive-in bank (auto and truck oriented use) may be acceptable in a CC -2 location if proper provision is made for traffic circulation on the site and to and from the site. The Board provides the opportunity for public and administrative review before the building permit is issued. With these types of special exceptions, the overriding concern is the affect the use may have on adjacent properties and there is some presumption that if all the criteria of the Code (Section 36-91) are met, that the Board must grant the exception for the use. The use need not be unique nor must there be special circumstances for establishing the use. It is presumed that when it is legislated that the use is permitted as a special exception, the legislative body recognizes that the use can be compatible with other permitted uses in the zone and should be allowed if no harm is inflicted on neighboring properties or the community at -large. With special exceptions for the modification of yards, this presumption of right to modify the yard requirement if no harm is done is not intended. The modifica- tion of yard requirements is intended to be permitted only whens ecial circum- stances prevail and an unnecessary hardship does not exist to warrant the granting of a variance. Otherwise, the reasonableness of the basic yard requirement is called into question and all applicants who can show no particular harm to adja- cent properties are granted their request. The purpose of the yard requirements to lessen the appearance of congestion and provide uniformity of setback is then undermined. The amendment before you is intended to clearly state that it is incumbent upon the property owner to demonstrate that his/her situation is different from others who must comply with the setback and that there is some difficulty in complying with the Code. This language will permit the staff to make this point in our reports to the Board of Adjustment and will require the Board to discriminate between those who for some reason do not want to comply with the setback from those who have special circumstances which prevent them from complying without, some difficulty. The a recommends adoption of this amendment. Approved by: tee D n c me ser, Dmrec o Department of planning & Program Development bdw4/1 /`01Of ORDINANCE NO.

This draft reflects the discussion of the Commission and the Council at the September 28 joint meeting. The first change underlined on page one is intended to clarify the fact that the 5,000 square foot limitation relates to the entire business entity. Therefore, a company which engaged in manufactur- ing facturand inghad could0 otualocate in thewarehouse zone and ithou0 square feet exception approved by the Bo-a-ra of Adjustment. The second change on page two provides for a special exception appeal process for companies which fall between the 5,000 and 10,000 square foot parameter. Any company which is engaged in manufacturing to any extent and which requires a total of more than 10,000 square feet of floor area for its operation would not be permitted in the zone. Thus a company with 5,000 square feet of manu acturing, 4,000 square feet of warehouse, and 2,000 square feet of office space could not locate in the CI -1 zone even under the special exception provision. bdw4/7 Attachment /G 4RI .o. 0 ORDINANCE NO.
