- What is a Conditional Use Permit (CUP)?
A CUP is a special permit that allows a business or property owner to engage in a certain type of land use, so long as it complies with specific conditions. When reviewing a CUP, consideration is given to the location, design, configuration, operational characteristics and potential impacts to determine whether or not the proposed use will pose a detriment to the public health, safety and welfare. All CUP requests require a public hearing before the Planning Commission, which has the authority to approve or deny such requests. When a CUP is approved, it runs with the land and all conditions placed on the CUP are binding on all successors in interest.
