Permit Review and Findings
For any land use in the IBP Industrial Business Park district requiring a Use Permit or Minor Use Permit, the City of Concord planning authority must first make specific findings to ensure the proposal is appropriate for the site. The review authority will consider factors such as traffic impact, compatibility with existing land uses, site suitability, and public health and safety [Section 18.435.060].
When approving these permits, the review authority may impose conditions related to:
- Placement, height, and extent of the use.
- Buffers, screening, and landscaping.
- Surfacing and maintenance requirements.
- Performance guarantees to ensure compliance [Section 18.435.060].
