Article I. Conditional Use Permits 18.124.010 Purpose—Authorization.

In order to achieve these purposes, the planning com- mission is empowered to grant and to deny applications for use permits for such conditional uses in such districts as are prescribed in the district regulations and to impose reasonable conditions upon the granting of use permits, subject to the right of appeal to the city council or to review by the council.
