A. Intent and Purpose of Conditional Use Permits. The city recognizes that certain uses, due to the nature of the use, intensity or size, require special review to determine if the use proposed, or the location of that use, is compatible with surrounding uses; or if through the imposition of conditions on the development and use, it can be made compatible with surrounding uses. The conditional use permit is provided for this purpose and to ensure compatibility with zoning regulations and with surrounding properties.

B. Intent and Purpose of Variances. California Government Code Section 65906 establishes the authority of the city to grant exceptions to development standards and provisions of this zoning code in cases where, because of special circumstances applicable to a particular property or unique characteristics of the property, the strict application of this code deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under identical land use zoning districts. (Ord. 690 § 4 (Exh. A), 2018).
