10.255 1 (c) Effect of denial of a petition to change the zoning district boundaries: no petition for a change in the zoning district boundaries which has been denied by the Dane County Board of Supervisors shall be re-submitted for a period of one year from the date of said denial, except on the grounds of new evidence or proof of change of conditions found to be valid by the Zoning Committee. (d) The Zoning Committee shall use plans and maps developed by individual towns and approved by the county board as criteria for zoning recommendations to the county board. (2) CONDITIONAL -USES. (a) STATEMENT OF PURPOSES. The development and execution of this ordinance is based upon the division of the county into districts, within which districts the use of land and buildings, and bulk and location of buildings and structures in relation to the land are mutually compatible, and substantially uniform. However, there are certain uses which, because of their unique characteristics, cannot be properly classified as unrestricted permitted uses in any particular district or districts, without consideration, in each case, of the impact of those uses upon neighboring land or public facilities, and of the public need for the particular use at a parti- cular location. Such uses, nevertheless, may be necessary or desirable to be allowed in a particular district provided that due consideration is given to loca- • tion, development, and operation of such uses. Such uses are classified as condi- tional uses and are uses entirely private in character, but of such an unusual na- ture that their operation may give rise to unique problems with respect to their impact upon neighboring property or public facilities. The following provisions are then established to regulate those .conditional uses which require special considera- tion. (b) AUTHORITY. The Zoning Committee, after a public hearing, shall within a reasonable time, grant or deny any application for conditional use. Prior to granting or deny- ing a conditional use, the committee shall make findings of fact based on evidence presented, that the standards herein prescribed will either be complied with or not be complied with. No permit shall be granted when the committee determines that the standards will not be met, nor shall a permit be denied when the committee determines that the standards will be met. (c) INITIATION OF CONDITIONAL USE. Any person, firm, corporation, organization having a freehold interest, a possessory interest entitled to exclusive possession, a con- tractural interest which may be a freehold interest, or an exclusive possessory in- terest which is specifically enforceable in the land for which a conditional use is sought, may file an application to use such land for one or more of the conditional uses provided for in this ordinance provided that the conditional use is one which is permitted by the zoning ordinance in the zoning district where the parcel is lo- cated. ): (d) APPLICATION FOR CONDITIONAL USE. An application for a conditional use shall be filed with the zoning administrator on a form prescribed by the zoning administrator. The application shall be accompanied by such plans and other information as may be pre- scribed by the zoning administrator or the Zoning Committee, and shall include a statement in writing by the applicant and adequate evidence showing that the proposed conditional use shall conform to the standards set forth in Subsection (g) herein- after. (e) HEARING ON APPLICATION. Upon receipt of the application and statement referred to in Subsection (c) above, the Zoning Committee shall hold a public hearing on each application for conditional use at such time and place as shall be established by such committee. The hearing shall be conducted and a record of the proceedings shall be preserved in such manner and according to such procedures as the Zoning Committee . shall, by rule, prescribe from time to time. (f) NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING shall be given by publication as a Class 2 notice as pro- vided for in Section 985 of the Wisconsin Statutes. Notice to parties of interest i ::1111 44
