PLANNING DEPARTMENT
SPECIAL USE
APPLICATION
An application must be
filed with the Planning Department by the filing deadline for each month
(consult the Town Council schedule) and will appear on the next month’s agenda.
The Cary Town Council will hear this request.
The questions included in the Statement of
Justification below are to be answered in full by the applicant in order for
the application to be deemed complete.
A filing fee of $150 shall be paid to the Town of
Cary upon submittal of this application. Along with the application, the
applicant is to submit a Sketch Plan showing the following:
q Lot lines with measured
distances
q Location and outline of
existing structure(s), if applicable
This plan should be in a reproducible size of 11” x
17” or smaller.
The
applicant may submit any other documentation or exhibits (such as a subdivision
plat, survey map, etc.) which the applicant feels the Council will need in
order to render a decision based on all necessary and pertinent information.
When deciding applications
for Special Uses, Council must follow quasi-judicial procedures. This means that, among other things, the
Council must conduct a hearing to gather evidence in order to establish
sufficient facts to apply the ordinance.
The applicant must appear at the hearing to give evidence.
Section 3.8 of the Land
Development Ordinance requires that the Town Council make the following
findings based on the evidence and testimony received at the Public Hearing or
otherwise appearing in the record of the case:
1. That the proposed use or development will not
materially endanger the public health or safety;
2.
That
the proposed use is reasonably necessary for the public health or general
welfare, such as enhancing the successful operation of the surrounding area in
its basic community functions or by providing an essential service to the
community or region;
3.
That
the proposed use or development of the land will not substantially injure the
value of adjoining or abutting property;
4.
That
the proposed use or development of the land will be in harmony with the scale,
bulk, coverage, density, and character of the area or neighborhood in which it
is located;
5.
That
the proposed use of development of the land will generally conform with the
Comprehensive Plan and other official plans adopted by the Town of Cary;
6.
That
the proposed use is appropriately located with respect to transportation
facilities, water supply, fire and police protection, waste disposal, and
similar facilities;
7.
That
the proposed use will not cause undue traffic congestion or create a traffic
hazard.
On
a separate sheet, please provide a Statement of Justification, which will show
that your proposal will meet these requirements. Also, please provide any other information you feel will be necessary
or helpful for the Town Council in rendering their decision. Certain Special Use Permits (expansion of an
existing nonconformity, specific uses in the Town Center Overlay District,
etc.) require other, more specific findings in addition to those listed above.
