A Special Use Permit, also known as a Conditional Use Permit, is a right granted by a local zoning authority to conduct specific activities within a zoned district. These activities are conditional uses permitted within the zone only upon special approval from the zoning authority.
A Specific Use Permit (SUP) allows certain uses of property that would not be otherwise permitted under the zoning regulations of a particular area, provided certain conditions are met. It requires a detailed review process to ensure compatibility with surrounding land uses.
