§ 152.240. PURPOSE.

(A) The purpose of this subchapter is to provide a means for the Village of Pinckney to authorize, subject to minimum standards and appropriate conditions, certain specified uses that may be compatible with permitted uses in a district, but that may also have a greater impact on surrounding properties. This subchapter is intended to provide an opportunity for the public, and the Planning Commission to review each proposed special land use, and identify potential impacts with regard to the individual circumstances of the site and use.

(B) It is further intended to provide an opportunity for the Planning Commission to impose the conditions as are necessary to ensure that the special land use will be compatible with surrounding uses and consistent with the purpose of the district in which it will be located. If it is determined that one or more negative impacts will be generated by the special land use and that these impacts cannot be reasonably mitigated, the Planning Commission may deny the special land use in order to protect the health, safety, welfare and quality of life of village residents.

(C) Sections 152.241 and 152.242 contain general procedures and standards that apply to all special land uses. Section 152.243 contains specific standards that apply only to the specific special land uses listed in § 152.243.
