What is the purpose of a conditional use permit?
Conditional uses are those that have unique characteristics or different impacts than those uses permitted outright within a zoning district, or uses with special characteristics that would be located in a residential neighborhood. For example, schools have traditionally been located in residential neighborhoods or zones. However, potential adverse noise, and other impacts from the school onto the neighborhood require special review of the school's location and design. The conditional use permit (CUP) process provides the special review.
What is the conditional use review process?
See Type II Process, Clark County Code 40.510.020.
See Type III Review Process, Clark County Code 40.510.030.
When can I reapply if my application is denied?
If the conditional use permit application is denied, reapplication cannot be accepted until one year after the date of denial.
How long do I have before I must complete the project?
Preliminary conditional uses shall be valid for a period of seven years after approval, or approved extension by the BOCC, during which time a fully complete application for a building permit must be submitted. This time limit may be extended where there is an approved phased development or a separate development agreement has been approved. See Clark County Code, Section 40.500.010(B) for more details.
